Subdeck teams up again with Popular to bring a true house legend and DJ extraordinaire:
Ilija Rudman is a highly respected Croatian DJ, producer, and a true cornerstone of the underground house and disco scene for over two decades. Hailing from Karlovac and based in Zagreb, he is globally recognized for his uncompromising devotion to a rich, authentic analog sound.
Steering clear of passing digital trends, Ilija’s studio is a shrine to vintage hardware and classic synthesizers. His signature style seamlessly blends underground house, nu-disco, boogie, and italo-disco into an infectious, groove-heavy dancefloor experience.
Over his illustrious career, he has released a string of acclaimed albums (such as The Reveal, Paradigma, and Pulsar Diaries) and runs the influential labels Red Music Records and Imogen Recordings. From regular stints at top-tier international clubs in London, Tokyo, and New York to his current residency at Zagreb's premier venue Peti Kupe, Ilija Rudman delivers masterclass DJ sets that move both the mind and the feet.
As a producer, he collaborated with some of the following top-notch artists :
Random Factor ( Carl Finlow ), Greg Wilson, Faze Action, Chaz Jankel, The Revenge, Escort Band, Leroy Burgess, Mark E, Chicken Lips, Tim Fuller, Boyd H. Jarvis, Ignition The Band, The Brand New Heavies, Charles Webster ( Presence ), Ashley Beedle, Arnold Jarvis, Robert Owens, Crazy P, Ron Trent, Don Carlos to name a Few.
Ilija's discography runs deep, with more than 100 Vinyl Ep releases and 8 Studio Albums -
around the globe on various labels such as Rong Music, Bear Funk, 2020 Vision, Electric Minds, Jisco Music / UTS, Instruments Of Rapture, Is It Balearic, Red Music Records, Compost Records, Wolf Music, Imogen Recordings, Tirk, Love Is War Music, ISM, IRMA, Azuli or Defected / Classic Music Company, Soul Clap Records, !K7 Records, Running Back / International Feel Recordings. 2024 brings 9th Studio Album - Ilija Rudman • The Great Beyond.
Following the unforgettable night with Giles Smith, Rafo and bbk continue their collaboration, bringing their shared passion for soulful house, disco and timeless grooves back to Subdeck. What started as a special reunion has grown into a partnership that simply feels right - a meeting of two long-time figures of the Bratislava scene with a genuine mutual respect and love for the music.
