SWAI is a fresh eclectic techno project created by two veterans of the Slovenian electronic music scene and respected members of Clockwork Voltage, Shekuza (Miha Šajina) and BeatMyth (Igor Vuk). They bring decades of experience in music production, songwriting, and live performance — both as DJs, solo live acts, and members of bands. Shekuza is a respected figure in the techno scene, known for his work with modular synthesizers and his role in the alternative band Moveknowledgement. BeatMyth has had a long-standing career as a DJ and producer, releasing acclaimed breakbeat albums with MC N’toko, performing live modular synth sets and has worked extensively in studio environments — recording, mixing, and mastering records for a wide range of other bands and artists.
After years of collaborative garage sessions and hours of recording, the two friends have finalised a cohesive album. But this is no typical techno album with a mesh of DJ tools. It is a comprehensive art piece featuring sophisticated technoid compositions that are beautifully crafted yet hauntingly eerie. Complex textures and tight drum patterns intertwine with the poetic contributions of their friend, Ana Pepelnik, elevating the three tracks into a new genre: techno poetry. Complemented by Lina Rica’s striking cover art, V Drevo emerges as a true work of art.
