Modern Quartet appeared on the alternative music scene in Novi Sad at the end of the 80s of the last century. At first, it was the solo project of sound designer Ivan Milinkov – Vanjus and expanded into an electronic duet with the arrival of Igor Lečić – Leka. The cooperation wasn’t only limited to studio work as Modern Quartet often gives live performances. Their work is based on the bold combination of digital and analog, often including other musicians and upgrading their sound with the incorporation of video production at live shows.
They received international recognition with the release of the ‘Suba Tributo’ album, for which they contributed the song ‘Tantos Desejos’ from the album ‘SUBA’. Sao Paulo Confessions’. The mixture of modern electronic music, dnb, jazz, and house music was an excellent starting point for the arrival of the dominant vocalist Daniel Mudrinski – Mastabear and this cooperation was also released in 2004 on the only official band’s release ‘The Dark Side of the Mood’ (B92)
In 2009 they performed at the Exit festival on the SUBA stage, which was organized as a tribute to the legendary Serbian-Brazilian musician, producer, and composer Mitar Subotič – Suba.
Today Modern Quartet is a small hedonistic sanctuary, preserving musical and personal integrity with a constantly changing form and style. They rarely perform live, so their appearance at the 24th Sajeta Festival is one not to be missed.
