Press — Elector 2023: Jan Kinčl among DJ of the Year nominees
In January 2023 Glazba.hr announced the nominees for DJ of the Year at Elector, the independent Croatian music-journalism award, ahead of its second edition. Journalists proposed and then nominated, in two rounds, the artists they felt had marked Croatia’s electronic 2022; the final choice went to a public vote. Jan Kinčl was one of thirteen names on the ballot, each introduced with a short profile.
What the piece covers
The article profiles all thirteen nominees: Ana Antonova, DJ Jock, DJ Ogi, Felver, Filip Motovunski, Ilija Rudman, Insolate, Ivna Ji, Jan Kinčl, Matroda, Petar Dundov, PEZNT and Tom Bug. Jan’s entry notes his ongoing collaboration with French keyboardist Regis Kattie as a DJ and live act, his teaching post at the United POP academy, and his results at the first Elector — the win in the house single category and his part in the winning charity compilation for earthquake relief.
In his words
“Jan Kinčl is a Zagreb DJ, producer, promoter, audio engineer, and media, culture and education worker.”
“He is the founder of Cycle, a brand under whose umbrella a club event series, a record label and a studio in Zagreb operate.”
