The interview with Clash of Civilizations - "Radio Boston" WBUR Boston: Building Bridges With Electronica

Milan Kovacev and Nikola Radan are not afraid of mixing and matching musical genres. In fact, it’s their bread and butter.

Their project’s focus is to bridging the world’s cultural divides through the splicing, fusing, and weaving of disparate musical traditions.

Breathing fresh life into the increasingly moribund corpse of the global dance genre, this debut EP from Boston-based composers/producers/multi-instrumentalists Milan Kovacev and Nikola Radan features an imaginative combination of live instruments, beats and samples, self-consciously combining genres and cultures to create something that's closer to sound collage than the usual mindless party soundtrack.
