We knew Vladimir would be excellent for the MNFE sessions and he did not disappoint. This year he will open the festival in the castle on Friday, and close it with Sean Johnston B2B as 'A Love From Offen Space' on Sunday night!
Hailing from Belgrade, Serbia, Vladimir Ivkovic grew up collecting records, establishing himself as a selector from an early age. Now a local in the bustling city of Dusseldorf, Ivkovic is a long-term regular at one of the city’s most infamous venues, Salon Des Amateurs. In addition to launching his own experimental label Offen in 2015, Ivkovic also manages Loco Dice’s dance-focused imprint, Desolat. His C.V. includes Berghain (Berlin), Nitsa (Barcelona), Kaiku (Helsinki), Sub Club (Glasgow), Phonox (London), The White Hotel (Manchester), Zukunft (Zurich), Concrete(Paris), Lux Fragil (Lisbon) and Robert Johnson (Frankfurt). Renowned for his leftfield and often challenging live sets, Ivkovic continues to deconstruct and disassemble the notion of dance music, retaining a fierce sense of originality in the process.
