Review by davoro Jan 02, 2008
It was the end of the 90's when i first heard about Petar Dundov. Definitely on the forefront of East European Techno sound, Dundov has managed to spread his musical output all across the world on numerous labels and festivals - signed to Music Man Belgium, Petar has produced an abundance of really cool records, especially "Kaskades" and "Running Man" under his own name, and beautiful deep wondering techno under his Tika Taka moniker in early 00' on Phono Elements. If you like more experimental sounds check out his "Sculptures 1-3" on Tommorow. I can't emphasize the Tika Taka releases enough, do check it out!
