Damir

Damir Ivic, classe 1974, fin dalla fine degli anni ’90 segue attentamente le evoluzioni tanto del pop mainstream quanto delle sottoculture musicali alternative più incisive e taglienti, indagandone i ciclici incontri/scontri reciproci.

Firma prima di Aelle (la “bibbia” della scena hip hop italiana nell’era pre-internet) e poi per quasi vent’anni dello storico mensile Mucchio Selvaggio, oggi scrive per Rolling Stone ed Outpump, oltre a portare avanti in prima persona il webmagazine Soundwall, creatura editoriale legata a doppio filo a club culture ed elettronica ma con licenza di indagare traiettorie estetiche, politiche, economiche e sociali ad ampio raggio all’interno dell'ecosistema musica.

Damir Ivic, born in 1974, has been closely following the evolution of both mainstream pop and the most incisive and cutting-edge alternative musical subcultures since the late 1990s, exploring their recurring points of convergence and conflict.

He was a contributor to Aelle (the "bible" of the Italian hip hop scene in the pre-internet era) and then for nearly twenty years wrote for the historic monthly Mucchio Selvaggio. Today, he writes for Rolling Stone and Outpump, while also running Soundwall, a web magazine he founded — a project deeply rooted in club culture and electronic music, but with the freedom to explore broader aesthetic, political, economic, and social trajectories within the music ecosystem.
