Through the experience he gained, he developed a need to produce his own records, to immortalize his definition of trance on vinyl. With this he progressed from dj to producer.
In 1995 came his first release 'Aqualoop - Twilight Zone'. The single quickly turned into a true club anthem. Further releases under that name and other club projects followed the great success of the first release.
In November 1997 the project Pulsedriver is brought to life. Under this name a new definition of innovative trance is established: a harder, more pushing and kicking trance. The single 'Pulsedriver - Rhythmic Trip' wakes up the international club and rave scene and the following releases 'Timemachine' and 'I'm Rushing' turned Pulsedriver into a permanent club act.
The single 'Kiss That Sound / Something For Your Mind' brought the commercial success. Sensational dance chart rankings are followed by the entry into the German charts for the first time with the releases 'I Dominate U', 'Take U High' and 'Your Spirit Is Shining' the way to the top goes up and up. The single 'Cambodoa / Recycle' succeeded in all official european charts: for example No. 11 in Germany and No. 5 in Austria.
Until now he released 12 Pulsedriver Singles and 2 Pulsedriver Albums and all of them have entered the official charts.
His innovative style as Pulsedriver gains him the awards of best German remixer of the year 2002 & 2003 and helps turn him into a guarantor for club hits. His remixes helped artists like Kim Wilde, Milk Inc., Lasgo, Vengaboys, Brooklyn Bounce and Fragma to new success in the charts.
The Pulsedriver sound with its fast pace described a new music style: 'Trancecore'. Under this name Slobodan puts together lots of compilations that were hits with the international clubbing and raving scene and helped to continue his success.
At the beginning of the new millenium, to give his ideas, productions and experience their own platform, he started his own label 'Aqualoop Records'. It is now one of the most successful independent record companies in Germany with more than 20 entries in the official charts.

Pulsedriver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was an air force wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
That you have ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
And as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendezvous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia
Cambodia
She won't see his face again
The lyrics of Pulsedriver's song "Cambodia" tell a story of a man and woman in love. The man, who was based in Thailand and flew on weekends, suddenly changes after receiving a call that he must leave that night for a job in Cambodia. The woman, his air force wife, tried to make sense of the changes in his behavior after he left. She noticed his sad eyes and how he cried some nights, as if he had lived a dream. The woman never finds out what got inside his soul and couldn't take it all.
Many interpretations of the lyrics suggest that the song is about a soldier who is sent off to fight in the Vietnam War, with Cambodia being a bordering country. The lyrics paint a picture of the personal toll of war, with hints of post-traumatic stress disorder and the devastation it causes in personal relationships. It is a reflection of how the wars have impacted people both on the front lines and at home.

And as the nights passed by
As time went by
She tried to trace the past
She attempted to recollect the past
The way he used to look
She remembered how he used to appear
The way he used to laugh
She recalled his laughter
I guess she'll never know
She might never uncover the truth
What got inside his soul
She couldn't comprehend what was happening within him
She couldn't make it out
She couldn't understand the situation fully
Just couldn't take it all
She wasn't able to cope with everything
He had the saddest eyes
He had a sorrowful expression
That you have ever seen
His eyes were the saddest the person had seen
He used to cry some nights
He used to weep some nights
As though he lived a dream
As if he was experiencing a surreal event
And as she held him close
When she embraced him tightly
He used to search her face
He would scrutinize her features
As though she knew the truth
As if she already knew the reality
Lost inside Cambodia
He was struggling within his mind when he was in Cambodia
But then a call came through
She received a call
They said he'd soon be home
The person on the call said he would be returning soon
She had to pack a case
She had to pack her belongings
And they would make a rendezvous
They planned to meet again
But now a year has passed
It had been a year since then
And not a single word
She hasn't heard from him in all that time
And all the love she knew
The affection she had known earlier
Has disappeared out in the haze
It has vanished and become obscure like faded memories
Cambodia

I think this has a very dark meaning behind it as the lyrics said that she wont see him again... I think the husband died in Cambodia. So sad :(
@kimland3601
The right question is - What was he flying into Cambodia?
@David-gd6qt
@@kimland3601 The lyrics were inspired by the Operation Menu bombing campaign of Cambodia by the United States during the Vietnam War.
