Broadcast on Resonance FM (award-winning radio station), ode to Omladinski Program in the guise of a remix of Laibach's Mashina B by Bosnian-born, London-based hot DJ/Producer Erol Sabadosh, entitled Mashina O and special video clip to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the now ‘legendary’ Omladinski Program Radio Sarajevo (1987 – 1992).
Omladinski Program is one of the movements that challenged the status quo documented in the book. Laibach, the seminal band (intrinsic part of the seminal movement Neue Slowenische Kunst) and contemporaries of Omladinski, were promoted by this radio station and reached audiences in Yugoslavia owing to that endorsement - as no mainstream promotion was given to this band considered dissident by the establishment.
