Igor Sakach was born in Serbia, the province of
Vojvodina, in a beautiful city of Novy Sad that lies on both sides of
the Danube river. Novy Sad is also known for being the heart of Serbian
culture of 19th century, being frequently called - "Serbian Athens"
due to its massive influence of culture on the rest of Serbia. Spending
his summers at the banks of the Lake of Ledinci in Fruška Gora and
beaches Štrand in the Liman neighborhoods, near the Danube river, Igor
was learning how to play accordeon at the musical school.
Later, after musical school, he started playing
double bass and became a bass guitar player at the new wave band
"Brojgel", which name was largely influenced by the picturesque works
and the life story of Flammish 16th century painter Peter Breigel.
In 1994, Igor left Novy Sad to come to the
beautiful Kyiv's banks of the river Dnipro. He was fully dedicated to
learning classical music and playing double bass, becoming a student of
Boguslav Soyka at the Piotr Chaykovskiy Ukrainian National Academy of
Arts in Kyiv.
Since 1998, being fond of DJ'ing and electronic
music, he started getting into the Kyiv's electronic music scene. He
chose a pseudonim "DJ Ingvo" and started his DJ-ing career playing
jazzy house, deep and funky house tracks. Later, he started
collaborating with jazz musicians, including Roman Drabina (tenor
saxophone) and Evgeniy Didyk (trumpet). He worked as a DJ at the "44
Club", experimenting with acid jazz grooves and from 2002 to 2006
started several projects involving Balkan music grooves, which included a
collaboration on Digital Balkan with Milosh Jelich (keyboards' player
from Okean Elzy) and a project "Balkan Groove System" featuring Yuliya
Lord.
He also had short-term musical project with
Ukrainian authentic music group Bozhychi. From 2006 to 2008 he
collaborated as a keyboard player, DJ and stage producer with
Stereoliza musical group. Approximately at the same time he met DJ
Derbastler and since then musical experiments they had together led to
creation of MAMA DIASPORA music project.
