ANK has been involved in electronic music scene since early 2000`s when he hosted many festivals and events. In 2001, when the already legendary Czech magazines Trip - mag and X - mag and mixed CDs came into his hands, this experience affected him so much that electronic music became his everyday addiction. In the beginning, as a clubber he attended well-known clubs and events all over Europe, which created a desire to organise his own event. It's the year 2005 and, with the strong support of DJ Andy K (Andre Tribale), he orgaised his first event called Cream Biscuit Open Air, where with the help of Andy K, he stood behind the mixer for the first time. He had a break from organising events for several years, focusing mainly on finding his right musical path. He started playing active in 2009 and he returned behind mixing desk at Music is The Answer. At the end of 2010, he founded the project Music: Affair, whose main direction is house music, where local names have performed. In 2011, he organised his second big Open Air under the brand Music: Affair, where 12 DJs performed and he played at the open air event BeeFree for the first time. In 2016 Ank founded Asfalt Soundsystem together with bbk (David Cierny). Same year he become a part of Serbian project Lobotomija and year after he established Derivate (Asfalt Soundsystem) warehouse party which takes important role in Bratislava nightlife. Ank is founder of OLAM collective platform (https://soundcloud.com/olam_collective) that emphasises uniqueness in the local sphere. Collective that combines an artist’s potential with the opportunities to represent themselves in between new waves of sub-communities searching for something deeper than what they have been used to up to now. Grateful for being in right circumstances he visited many places and meet people that influenced his current music presentation. He is the creator and the seeker of an atmospheric and vivid soundscapes. The flashing light and enigmatic sets are his trademark. #ANK is here to cut the dark.....His nearly 100-minute set today is a proof of that.
