This weekly show, under the name «Disco 3000» , has been broadcasted ever since. In 1999. this show has been awarded by the votes of the audience as the best radio show in Serbia.

In 2000. Radio B92s music production put him in the A & R position for experimental and world music, where he produced several CDs since then. He has compiled bestseller compilations „Srbija: Sounds Global“ and „Rromano Suno“.

Every May, as artistic director, he presented new music from all over the world to the local audience. Programme includes avant-garde, contemporary, art rock, alternative, free jazz, experimental, electroacoustic and world music. Details about programs could be found on http://www.rex.b92.net/ringring and http://www.ringringpromotions.org

The idea was also to give a chance to local innovative artists to meet world famous creative musicians in order to expand their artistic views.
