Pogo, whose real name is Nick Bertke, is an Australian electronic music artist widely recognized for his distinctive style of musical art that involves sampling small sounds from films, cartoons, and everyday life to create entrancing, melody-rich tracks. Pogo's unique approach often involves forming a mosaic of these samples, sometimes imperceptibly, to craft a soundscape that is both nostalgic and refreshingly new. Known for his tracks that frequently reference popular culture, particularly from Disney films and the realm of animation, Pogo has built a dedicated fanbase that appreciates his skill in transforming familiar auditory snippets into dreamy, rhythmic beats.
Over the years, Pogo's work has shown a diverse range of themes and inspirations. From the otherworldly and enchanting "Inner Nutshell" to the psychedelic vibes of "Kaleidosmoke," his releases like "Mystic Ballistic" and "Numinous" continue to explore the boundaries of downtempo and ambient music. "The Pogo Collection" serves as an auditory gallery showcasing the breadth of his artistry, while releases such as "Three Benevolent Aliens" display a storytelling prowess within his electronic narratives. Pogo's ability to combine vivid imagery with sound not only captivates listeners but often transports them to the surreal landscapes he creates, as seen in the "Out Of This World (Altruism Remix)" and the progressive energies within "A New Language EP." With "Shiva Valley" and other releases, he also demonstrates an interest in various cultural influences, incorporating them seamlessly into his electronic tapestry.
