Marko nastic: born on the 8th of september, 1979 in Belgrade, Serbia. At a very young age marko started showing an interest in all kinds of music and a passion towards mixing thanks to his uncle who was surrounded with records working as a DJ and playing Italo-disco at a local Belgrade radio station.

Marko bought his first record decks when he was 11. By the age of 12 he was caught up spending all of his pocket money on records. Soon he started playing at small clubs (Magna House, Omen, Boomerang), and at the same time he started working at the "Happy People" record store which gave him the chance to make a lot of contacts and getting hold of as many records as possible. At the time he got to know Dejan Milicevic and Milos Pavlovic at a party organised by the local radio station B92. Soon they became partners and started working together. It was 1996 when the "Teenage Techno Punks" (TTP) were born.

At 17 he bought his first pair of decks. TTP became resident at the famous Belgrade club Industria, playing back-to-back sets and discovering the pure thrill of techno. In both 1997 and 1998 marko got best-DJ-of-the-year award. He started travelling all over Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia. In 1999 he played in Berlin (club Pfeffenberg). During the bombings Marko was loaded with bookings all over Serbia. In the year 1999/2000 he played over 500 gigs and was the first to play three and four deck sets.

He also collaborated with many artists playing at festivals, fashion shows, galleries and creating just recently music for a performance "Shopping and ****ing" showing at a local theatre.
