Tobogan was built in 2007, with an idea to play electronic dance music live on instruments. It was initially started by drummer Janko Novoselic, who was at the time using only drums, sampler and a laptop. In one year, Tobogan grew into a 6-piece band, which now consists of two guitarists, bassist, synthersizer player, drummer and a sound engineer. Tobogan is a musical adventure based on dance music and urban culture, ranging from drum'n'bass, house, jungle, breakbeat, dub, all the way to post-rock, jazz, electronica, techno and hip-hop.
Tobogan line-up:
Janko Novoselic- drums
Konrad Lovrencic- bass
Ognjen Zecevic (Illumination, Egoless) - Synthesizers
Valent Samardzija- guitar
Hrvoje Niksic- modular synthesizers, keyboards, tape-delay
Damir Babojelic- sound engineer, live fx processing
Tobogan live shows are almost completely improvised, which makes them an unique experience each and every time!
