ORKUS

Jaroslav Konečný is a musician and producer with a rich output spanning over 14 years. His beginnings date back to the days when he experimented with the primitive Music 2000 software on the PlayStation, progressing through FL Studio and Reason to the current Ableton Live environment, which he has been using for over a decade. His music is inspired by genres such as Techno, Jazz, House, Deep House, Dub Techno, Ambient and Trip Hop, and his work is always driven by his own instincts and personal expression. Jaroslav has released tracks on many domestic and international soundlabels, including Prospect Records, Liberta Records, Naked Lunch, Insectorama Net Label, Mixcult Records, Platform7even, Frequency Shift, Manuscript Records, Apex and others. Czech labels include Avaken, Licker Records, Stomp House, Collosus and Ex-tract. He collaborates with a number of Czech producers (Elektrabel, MattEss, Ian Kita, James D) and singers (Uliana Zar, Rooshie). He is about to release several albums, and his music has caught the attention of the scene thanks to his performances at festivals and renowned clubs. As a DJ, he has gained recognition for example at the I Love Techno Boat event, where he has been performing regularly for over 8 years. In 2022, he stepped out of his producer shadow for the first time and has since performed at many venues across the Czech Republic, including the Radosť club in Bratislava and Prague's Roxy. His most significant moment came at the Beats for Love festival, where he had the opportunity to present his unique sound for the first time as a Live or Hybrid project - with a slightly different musical concept. In 2024 and 2025, his career is in a significant growth - besides events, he has managed to meet some esteemed names, including icons like Patrick Mason and Alexander Kowalski, and his work is attracting more and more attention. He has also successfully composed the soundtrack for Fallout 4, which has received acclaim on the Nexus mod site. Jaroslav is also a lecturer at Room Studio in Prague, where he teaches production in Ableton, including individual lessons. He is a member of the Brno-based Origin/Stigma and the Slovak label RDST, where he released his first vinyl album.
