About me:

52 year old DJ from Zagreb, Croatia Petar Dundov is a Croatian electronic music producer and DJ whose work stands at the intersection of melodic techno, progressive house and ambient-infused techno. Born and raised in Zagreb in 1973, Dundov’s relationship with synthesized sound began early: he bought his first synthesizer in the late 1980s and by the early 1990s was composing music for the emergent rave and club culture in Croatia. That formative period gave him a practiced ear for long-form melodic development and the patient, cinematic pacing that would later define his productions.

Dundov’s sound evolved from an experimental fascination with analog textures into a mature signature that balances emotional melodic arcs with club-effective rhythm. Where some techno producers prioritise relentless kinetic energy, Dundov prefers slow-burning tension and release: tracks build over repeating motifs and layered pads, introducing subtle harmonic shifts that reward multiple listens. This compositional approach makes his records suitable both for focused listening and for late-night sets where the aim is to steer a crowd through changing moods rather than simply to peak immediately.

Over the course of his career he has released on respected labels and attracted support from established DJs across Europe. His albums and EPs show a continuous interest in synthesis — both in sound design and in arrangement — with later work incorporating modular synthesis and hybrid analog/digital workflows. Live performance for Dundov is an extension of his studio practice: many of his sets are constructed to unfold as journeys, with selection and sequencing serving a narrative role. He’s equally adept at DJ sets that maintain hypnotic continuity and at live-PA style performances where the emphasis is on textural variation and improvisation.

Beyond producing and performing, Dundov runs his own studio and is involved in mastering and production work for other artists, contributing to the technical infrastructure of the scene in Croatia. His music has been programmed at international festivals and club nights, helping to bring Croatian electronic production into wider circulation. Critics often note the emotional clarity of his melodies and the sonic cleanliness of his mixes — attributes that make his records stand out on both home listening systems and large club rigs.

Artistically, Dundov is notable for refusing easy categorisation: while rooted in techno’s rhythmic austerity, he consistently explores more melodic, even cinematic territory, allowing trance-like harmonies and ambient passages to coexist with dancefloor momentum. This duality — cerebral yet bodily — gives his work a timeless quality: tracks that can be mapped into a club peak but that also reward late-night, reflective listening.

As an active figure in Zagreb’s music community, he continues to record, perform and collaborate. His ongoing output reflects an artist comfortable with both tradition and experimentation — someone who uses the structural rigour of techno as a framework for expansive, emotive musical statements.
