I rather spend time with my
friends – for me, they are
the only real celebrities,
they are in my heart and
I love them, so I would
never change them for any
»stars«. Sometimes when
I spend some time with a
celebrity, I always come to
a conclusion that a lot of
them are empty-souled
people, so unhappy and
sad that it makes me
unhappy.
But ok, Flame is not one
of them for sure; he is a
good person, a very cool
guy, funny and grounded,
so I’m happy regarding
this new project with him.
We are preparing a new
track together and this will
be a hit, I’m sure, as my
music and rap always
looked incompatible,
but you will see it is not
like that at all.
How do you
like this new
generation of
electronic music,
such as Avicii
or Skrillex?
This sound is really not
my kind of sound but I am
not the right one to judge
what’s good and what’s
not. Obviously people like
this kind of music as they
fill-up big stadiums all the
time. And I really think this
is most important for
organizers – I also wish
for myself to fulfill an
entire stadium with my
fans one day.
Last year when the
Ultra Music Festival
was held, you were
booked for Split
(ofcourse, in
addition to Miami).
As the VIP after
party was in Hvar,
do you feel sorry
for not being
booked for the
»Hvar Ultra
project«?
Certainly I would also
come to Hvar and surely,
I would rather be on the
Island as I like Hvar very
much since I spent my
first holidays there. But all
in all, I am very pleased
and thankful with my
presence in Split also.
Do you like the
Island of Hvar?
What do you like
about it the most?
I really like it very much,
it’s an amazing place.
Always, when I’m
traveling around the
world, I talk to foreign
people about this
beautiful island. And a few
times has happened that
people really went there
after my suggestion and
after visiting Hvar, they
called me with enthusiasm
and big satisfaction about
the place, people, etc.
Hvar is really unique,
I like the fact that the old
part of town is closed for
cars, that you can take a
boat taxi and go away to
the nice smaller islands,
that you can snorkel
around, enjoy in great
restaurants and much
more. It’s really
a unique opportunity
for fun and hedonism.
In 2012 you have
been in our beach
bar, Hula-Hula Hvar
in Croatia. How did
you like it?
I enjoyed it very much.
I spent some great time
with my friends – these
were one of my best
holidays ever. We went to
one of Hula-Hula’s beach
after-parties and the view
of a sunset was amazing –
I just cannot forget how
people enjoyed this view
with a cocktail in their hand
and dancing in a great
mood. The music was nice,
beautiful girls, delicious
food. Really unforgettable
memories for me …
What did you like
the most about our
place? (Please tell
us a little bit more
about it)
As I said, very nice young
people, the place full of
happiness and freedom.
Good music and positive
people always make a
great atmosphere. I really
like the sunset view from
Hula, I think it’s one of the
most beautiful views in the
world. It was such a
relaxed feeling, contrary to
a usually crowded party.
The staff served us with
interesting »tower plates«,
full of tasty seafood. As
I’m a big food lover, I really
enjoy good restaurants
and I remember that the
food in Hula was so
delicious, that we also
came the day after this
party, just to have lunch.
Unfortunately, later we had
to leave the island.
When are you
planning to come
to our place again?
Maybe in summer
2014? (We would
be glad to host you
again!!)
Maybe Yes baby …
Umek thank you very
much for this interview
and we hope to see you
soon in our beach bar.
