SMETNJAKOVIH 12: ManMachine


1. Who are you, what do you do and where do you do it?

I am Goran Uroich aka ManMachine, I make music, I do it in my little room in the city of Zagreb.

2. Describe your sound in 12 words!

Breathtaking, powerful, amazing, glamorous, different, fresh, dazzling, beautiful, magnificent, delirious, adorable, delightful…

3. Which musician/music act did most significantly influence your music taste?

David Bowie, but I have to mention Lou Reed, Frank Black and P.J. Harvey too.

4. Blue pill or red pill?

Red pill because I like the color red better than blue but if we are talking Matrix blue pill or red pill than definitely blue pill. I didn’t like those metal octopuses.

5. Which are your superpowers?

My superpower is knowledge that I don’t have a superpower.

6. Which song should have been on every CD recorded for the loved one?

Chariots Of Fire by Vangelis hahahaha…

7. Who is DJ Umek?

I don’t know who DJ Umek is but the DJ part of his name makes me think that DJ Umek probably puts songs together in a certain order and than plays them with headphones on his head looking all serious.

8. Why do they put round pizza in a square box?

Because it’s easy.

9. What do you do, when you are not occupied with music?

I pretend like I care.

10. Who is your favourite Game Over member?

I have never heard of Game Over.

11. Current top 4 for the dancefloor and top 3 for the car?

Oh man… OK. Top four for the dance floor:
1. Gustav Mahler – Symphony No. 9
2. Eric Satie – Gymnopédie No. 3,
3. Sergei Rachmaninoff – Élégie in E Flat Minor
4. Franz Liszt – Transcendental Etude No. 10 in F Minor

I don’t have a car but if I had one I think that this three songs would be top 3 for the car:
1. Paula Abdul – Rush, Rush
2. 2 Unlimited – No Limit
3. Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer

12. Last pearls of wisdom?

Nothing lasts forever even cold november rain.

Molly Nilsson – Hey Moon!




Smetnjak x MOLLY NILSSON x ManMachine


Tik preden zablinkajo decembrske lučke, Smetnjak na oder postavi glas, ki sivino novembra potrese z bleščicami in jo zavije v celofan. Za fante in punce in punce in punce: komorni techno-pop šanson z Molly Nilsson.

“Molly is the sweetest diamond ever!” zatrjuje youtube komentar pod še eno über-očarljivo power balado švedsko-berlinske pevke, ki jo po skoraj tromesečni turneji pričakujemo tudi pri nas. Molly Nilsson ne manjka šarma, a da bi bila najslajša, ji preprečuje značajski presežnik: recimo ji raje grenko sladka. Upreti se ji ni mogel niti manični punk-rock komponist John Maus, s katerim sta v nepozabnem duetu tekmovala v globini glasu. Njen peti album The Travels nadaljuje z zdaj že prepoznavnim zvočnim sentimentom dekleta na neskončnem zmenku z zadnjim luninim krajcem. Robotski retro pop še nikoli ni zvenel tako človeško.

Zagrebški ManMachine je človek-stroj: one-synth-army. Ko kriči „I hate the human race“, njegov glas zveni kot glas prijatelja. Morda nam skuša reči: da bi lahko imeli ljudi zares radi, jih moramo najprej sovražiti.
