Mad As Hatter (Antun Čonkaš) u svijetu elektronske glazbe je već preko dva desetljeća - u početku kao slušatelj, a posljednjih nekoliko godina i kao DJ. Još kao dijete zaljubio se u zvukove Kraftwerka, KLF-a, U96, Jean Michel Jarrea i Vangelisa i ti zvukovi su ga inspirirali i doveli do izvođača kao što su Laurent Garnier, Silicone Soul, Circulation, Doc Martin, Mr. C, Technasia, Richie Hawtin (naročito projekt Plastikman), Alexander Kowalski, Gaetano Parisio, Sven Väth, Funk D'Void, Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Agoria, Moderat, Extrawelt, Björk, Leonard Cohen, te mnogih drugih umjetnika što elektronske i ne-elektronske glazbe. Svi oni su su doprinjeli njegovom sadašnjem glazbenom ukusu.
Njegov izbor ploča varira od housea do techna s povremenim izletima u neke druge glazbene smjerove i zbog te raznolikosti nikada se sa sigurnošću ne može znati koja stvar će uslijediti. Miksevi su mu ispunjeni širokim spektrom emocija i može odabrati upravo savršenu stvar koja će vas odvesti iz tuge u sreću, iz spokoja u strah, od veselih do mračnih tonova. Do sada je svirao u zagrebačkim klubovima Aquarius, Boogaloo, AKC Medika; riječkim klubovima La Noche, Discordia, Seven, Gruw; te u poznatom slovenskom klubu Ambasada Gavioli u Izoli. U vrijeme kada nije prezauzet svojim dnevnim poslom bavi se i produkcijom koja varira od eksperimentalne do ambijentalne glazbe, koja se prilično razlikuje od njegovih DJ setova. No, da ne duljimo previše, najbolji način da saznate kako on zvuči je da posjetite audio sekciju na www.madashatter.com ili neki od evenata na kojima svira.

English version:

Mad As Hatter (Antun Conkas) has been into the electronic music scene for more than two decades as a listener, and couple of years as a DJ when he finally managed to buy turntables and started playing his favourite vinyls. As a kid, he was influenced by Kraftwerk, KLF, U96, Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis, which led him to artists such as Laurent Garnier, Silicone Soul, Circulation, Doc Martin, Mr. C, Technasia, Richie Hawtin (especially his Plastikman project), Alexander Kowalski, Gaetano Parisio, Sven Väth, Funk D’ Void, Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Agoria, Moderat, Extrawelt, Björk, Leonard Cohen and many other electronic and non-electronic artists that have contributed to the establishment of his present musical taste.

His music varies from house to techno and one never knows which track is going to occur, because he plays different types of tracks. His mixes can be filled with an abundance of emotions and he is able to pick out just the perfect track to transmute you from sadness to happiness, from calm to fear, from playful tunes to darker spectra of sound; you never know. He played in clubs such as Aquarius, Boogaloo, AKC Medika (all of them in Zagreb), La Noche, Discordia, Seven (Rijeka) and Ambasada Gavioli (Izola, Slovenia). Nowadays, when he is not occupied with his daily job, he produces his own music which ranges from experimental from ambient, thus being quite different from his DJ sets. Well, enough with the talk. The best way to get to know him is to visit audio section on his webpage and listen to one or two of his latest promos. Maybe Shutout or Rest in pieces are your choice for today ;-)
