DKTech

(born Dino Egredžija in Kutina, Croatia) is a Croatian DJ, music producer, and techno performer recognized for his energetic, hardgroove-driven sound. Known for fusing old-school groove with modern warehouse power, DKTech has rapidly established himself as one of Croatia’s rising techno talents.

Dino Egredžija was born in Kutina, Croatia. Before entering the music industry, he worked internationally as a waiter, which exposed him to the vibrant rave cultures of cities like Budapest, Vienna, Amsterdam, Cologne, and Rotterdam. His love for techno began in 2014 after attending the Beatz n Cutz events in Lipik, Croatia.

Inspired by electronic music, he began learning guitar and later keyboards. Between 2014 and 2023, he became a regular attendee at techno, hardgroove, and hard techno events across Europe, building a deep understanding of the genre before ever stepping behind the decks.

DKTech officially began his DJ career in June 2024. After being noticed by Vaso – Vrač, he was invited to perform at Jelengrad Open Air on June 1, 2024, as part of the “Newcomers Calling” afterhours. Despite technical issues during his debut set, his passion and energy were evident.

Soon after, Fixsell offered him a second chance at the Ground Zero event, where his 1-hour-45-minute dark hardgroove set stood out as a highlight of the night. The performance marked a turning point in his career.

In addition to his success in Croatia, DKTech has performed internationally:

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, at Žiža Bar (Banja Luka), where he played an all-night-long debut set.

In Budapest, Hungary, as a headliner at the Ve.Rave.rt events.

DKTech began producing techno shortly after his DJ debut. By mid-2024, he had released music on Beats HD and Sound Kleckse Raw. In under one year (June 2024–June 2025), he accumulated 10 releases across respected labels and collaborated with artists such as MarAxe, Wyrus, and Andy BSK.

More releases are scheduled through the end of 2025, establishing DKTech as one of the most active and promising producers on the Croatian techno scene.

His performances are known for their dominant, high-energy flow, featuring pulsating basslines, loop-driven grooves, and a distinctive Croatian precision in technique.

DKTech is also the founder of the Rhythmic Beatz Podcast and plans to launch the Rhythmic Beatz label in 2025.

DKTech’s music is rooted in hardgroove techno, characterized by its old-school tribalism, heavy percussion, and hypnotic drive. His tracks and DJ sets blend nostalgic groove with modern dark warehouse energy, aiming to push the boundaries of techno both sonically and culturally.

Legacy and Vision With a meteoric rise in less than a year, DKTech has become a symbol of the new wave of Croatian techno, representing the country’s move toward a more prominent role on the global stage. As both DJ and producer, he is committed to pushing the sound forward while honoring its roots.
