Satori is a multifaceted artist of the purest kind. As a musician, performer, and label head, he combines all aspects of artistry into one persona, creating unique experiences for his audience. As the child of a Serbian father and a South African mother, Satori has been consuming Balkan music, Afrobeat, and everything in between from an early age, embedding diversity into his musical DNA. Inspiration from a wide array of cultures has led Satori, born Djordje Petrovic, to push the boundaries of electronic music’s sounds, creating an otherworldly, distinctive style unmatched by any of his contemporaries.
After breaking onto the scene in 2015 with his In Between Worlds album, Satori has been steadily expanding on an impressive repertoire of music, culminating in Dreamin’ Colours album, an ethereal body of work rich in color and texture that seamlessly blends electronic music with his Balkan heritage. In 2022, he released his single, ‘Djelem Djelem,’ an exclusive collaboration with EXIT Festival, with the launch of his own label, Maktub Records. Later that year, Satori released his first music in collaboration with The Band from Space on his label.
Never limiting himself to being “just a DJ,” Satori has perfected the craft of live performance. He combines his productions with improvisations by incorporating traditional instruments like the guitar, keys, or flute. Treating each performance as a blank canvas makes Satori’s shows dynamic and eclectic, leaving fans with an ever-lasting taste for more. This unique approach has led Satori to become a mainstay on festival line-ups globally, from Coachella to EXIT Festival in Serbia, as well as long-standing residencies in Ibiza.
