SELEKTOR DEPENDER
Founder of Bassculture Foundation, Producer and We Come One programmer. Selektor Depender aka Marko Depender plays strictly vinyl, but loves all other carriers too. His selection is a blend of miscellaneous and obscure sounds, dubz and steppa orientated, deadly basslines and experimental combinations. He released his first 12″ together with Filtercutter: ‘Dub Carruseles’ on Bassculture.nl and Sozialistischer Plattenbau label. More 7” are now produced and are coming out this year, featuring releases by Earl Sixteen, Bassculture Family Band, Istari Lasterfahrer and Dub Creator.
