From Unearthing The Music
Dušan Hedl is a Slovenian guitarist, singer, and lyricist, best known as the leader of CZD ("Center Za Dehumanizacijo" or "Center for Dehumanization" in English).
He has been present in all fields of cultural activism since the end of the 1970s, when he first took part in the managing of the Mladinski "in rock klub Trate" ("Youth and rock club Trate"). Soon after, he became involved in organising fine arts exhibitions, directing videos and writing and editing work. He founded and led the Front Rock music label, which releases all of CZD's music since 1989, the non-governmental cultural institution Subkulturni azil Maribor (today known as the Cultural Centre Maribor), and the Studio at the Border. Dušan has also headed (and still heads) the Festival at the Border, the No Border Jam Festival and some other musical cycles, festivals, cultural happenings, and a number of other projects and institutions.
