1. Could you tell a
bit more about Underground Disco Beocin ??
Underground
Disco Beocin said :
UDB emerged as a
collective in July 2017. When an informal group of people took over the
abandoned space in the old disco of the Culture Center in Beocin. It was
conceived as space for gigs and a social center, so designing and adapting the
space relied on the absolute DIY and was funded exclusively from donations of
individuals. In time, the activities became more common, and they were
organized in the space beside gigs and film projection, book promotion,
humanitarian action, etc. Unfortunately, the home of the culture and the
locality of Beocin decided to throw us out of space, looking for a new
"disk" we are doing the benefit gigs and relying on friends from the
bands who have come here,they remember hospitality and are very eager to help
us. Look forward to being again concerts active soon.
2. When did
you start with the Underground Disco Beocin and are the bands satisfied with
your services?
Underground
Disco Beocin said :
With the tape label
we started a few months ago, now all bands are very satisfied with fast and
ease communication and fast agreement, and then with the quality of service and
speed.
3. What bands can
expect from you?
Underground
Disco Beocin said:
Each band can expect
the help of booking gigs and organizations with us, and in many places we work
with. Whether it's a tape promotion or some tour in the coming period.We are
always willing to help with equipment, gigs, craftsmanship, transportation,
etc.
4. And what the undergrond
scene can expect from Underground Disco
Beocin?
Underground
Disco Beocin said:
I think the whole
scene at this moment is aware of what could expect from us, whether we're
talking about tapes, gigs or any other action. We are always open for any kind
of work and you will always get an answer from us. The collective is made up of
people who are active in various fields, so for that reason we have never been
limited, but constantly have to look around and learn. We do not ask "how,
why?" But we are talking "come on and now".
5. What should underground
scene look like?
Underground
Disco Beocin said:
Above all, full tolerance, solidarity, sexism, without
racism and any other form of violence and bullying. Open and honest, straightforward,
without much lies, acting and fraud.
Mutual trust and promotion are very important. At this time when everything is easy
to reach,it cant be diffilcut to click on "share". The activity of
people in small places is also very important, support your space when
organizing a gigs, even if you personally not listen to it, we are pretty sure
that in smaller cities with spaces like ours, where are no more interesting
events and where are not many choices. If thats so, go and enjoy the metal gig
even though you are punker, listen to the grind , because it is not easy for
organizers to indulge in any your taste. Identify your space if you have it
nearby, ask how you can help if you do not have enough time to do it (and who
has it?) Help the organizers at least on the day of the show. If you do not
have space - do it! If you can not do it alone - connect with others, share ideas, ask people
for other tips. Play, sing, write fanzin! Settle down with the owner of the
cafe, if you can not even set up your space with the team to let you make gig once
a month. There are many ways in which individuals can influence on the scene,
its easy to walk away.
6. How was the
underground scene before in Beocin and Serbia?
Underground
Disco Beocin said:
Underground scenes Beocin was not so active in the
past, mostly because of the proximity of NS, so the individuals from here were
active there. It all comes down to several bands and several releases. Even
today, bands do not have much better situation, we have turned to organizing
the event and publishing, and in a little younger of us, we start bidding
around the bands.
7. As for the
current events in Beocin and Serbia what is underground scene like now compared
to before?
Underground
Disco Beocin said:
Since we are a little younger, we still remember better
times, especially Novi Sad. People have
been shunned a bit, so it is our turn for us to get involved, and we are happy
to connect with the young NS bands with whom we work together in Beocin and NS.
A little old team from former DCa has helped us greatly, with some equipment as
well as useful tips.Again, we wanna thank
you again for your help!
8. How to improve

9. Could you give
some advice to underground bands about the underground scene?
Underground
Disco Beocin said:
If you play in the band, you are not a doctors of
science, the king of the world and king of the universe ! Do not point out your
ego in the foreground. It is hard to make gig, and if someone is willing to
help you, especially if you are on a tour, give him back with your kindness,
that's the least you can do. In Beocin you will not play more than anyone who has been
abusive during a time of event, we will
not cooperate with such bands. You are
not welcome then ! Hanging out , have a
good understanding of each other, some promoters are difficult to choose a couple of drinks for bands, so they break
money from their pocket, get bands in their homes, etc. If you do not
understand, do not even move.
10. Could you say
something at the end for the blog All for one and one for all?
Underground
Disco Beocin said:
Kudos to All for one and one for all (Azra) for the
call! We are always pleased to announce that with fanzines, blogs, edited by
people who like doing what they do, are volunteering and are sincere in love
with music. Stay nice, young people, and let's catch up in Beočin over some
homemade brandy or elderberry juice.
