Despite his young age, Mário Dočekal, aka Subtension, has managed to make his mark in the history of renowned global drum & bass labels such as Ram Records, Critical Music, Neosignal, Renegade Hardware, Cause 4 Concern, and VISION. His tracks feature in DJ sets by artists like Pendulum, Noisia, Amon Tobin (Two Fingers), Mefjus, Sub Focus, Roni Size, and many more.

With his project, he has performed in nearly every European country, including the UK (Fabric London, Berghain – Berlin), and even in the USA. While much of his career has been rooted in drum and bass, he now defies the limits of electronic genres and refuses to be boxed in. His work is also shaped by his studies of film sound design, which is why he often experiments with cinematic atmosphere and soundscapes.

Beyond producing and DJing, he runs the modern music school LFO.sk, composes for film and advertising, and helps many professional artists with sound design, mixing, and mastering.

Subtension is a three-time recipient of the Radio_Head Awards, having won Best Electronic Record in 2018, 2021, and 2024 – the most recent being for his debut album Burn After Writing.

"Burn After Writing is the result of the last few years of my creative journey, during which I went through both personal and artistic changes. I needed to break free from genres and create without chasing numbers or commercial success," adds Mário. You’ll experience this genre-defying approach from one of Slovakia’s most successful producers live at Pohoda 2025.
