At the Initiative of EXIT Festival, Serbia Pledges to Plant Almost 1 Billion Trees to Help Fight Climate Change

That music can indeed help change society is not a new idea for EXIT , the award-winning music festival that started two decades ago as a youth movement for peace and freedom in Serbia and the Balkans.  Twenty years later, EXIT is still a force for change and supports social and environmental issues. The Serbian Government has just adopted EXIT’s Green R:Evolution initiative in which the Festival juggernaut, backed by several local environmental organizations, calls for the mass reforestation that will increase the country’s forest cover by almost 50%. The Serbian Government has begun developing strategic plans for countrywide mass planting actions according to which Serbia's forest cover is expected to increase from the current 28% to at least 40% of the country’s total surface area. This increase means that the Government has pledged to plant almost 1 billion trees in the years to come: "Serbia is willing to do its share to fight climate change. We are commi

Q&A - Lag [Teskoba, SR]

* Hi Lag, thank you for your time, and for the interview. Can you give us a short introduction to you?  L: Hi, I’m Lag. I’m a Serbian producer of, well, mostly broken techno. I release on MORD, THEM and a few other labels. I also DJ, mostly around Europe, although I just came back from a US tour. Your latest releases on: Mord Records / Unkown Entity / Stale / Soul Notes, were impressive as always.  * What inspires your production?  L: It really varies from track to track. I usually start with a genre or track that I really love and an idea. Most of my original music comes from a concept, a non-musical idea that I want to transfer to the musical form and most of the remixes come from how I've heard the sounds of the original in my head. I sometimes stick hard to what I had envisioned (which often makes the process long and tedious, but pays off in the end) but more often I lay down the original idea and start experimenting, seeing where that takes me.  * What equipment are you cur
