Katcha’s high-energy DJ sets are a blend of contemporary bass genres, Latin American temper, African rhythms and noughties nostalgia. She is a member of the collective Ustanova and a regular at the club Monokel. As a promoter, she organises club nights where queer people can feel safe, seen and welcome. As an activist, she fights for better representation of FLINTA artists on the global electronic music scene, which is still mostly run by cis men. In the past, she collaborated with the Latin American collectives NOTT and Ghetto Witches. She is currently trying her luck in the city of Leipzig.

Katja Šulc moves between poetry and music. She has garnered widespread attention by winning first prize at the 2011 Slovenian Chanson Festival with her song Na poti domov. Katja Šulc works with national and international musicians, songwriters and producers and holds concerts at home and abroad (France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, China, Mexico, Guatemala). Her work covers a variety of music genres, ranging from musical settings of poems, contemporary chanson, experimental music, dub and jazz, to world and electronic music.

Apart from their passion for mischievous wordplays and double entendres, Kavasutra is also a very sparkling and exuberant collective when it comes to music. The musically proficient youngsters from the Goriška region prove all of the above in their exploratory jazz-rock expression. Like their great idol Frank Zappa, they tend to avoid speaking about genres. Their cocktail of musical styles and techniques, sometimes with a bit of funk and psychedelia, can sometimes sound like very complicated and difficult stuff to play, but the guys, all seasoned improvisers, do it with playful ease.

The KGBL (Conservatory of Music and Ballet Ljubljana) Choir was founded in 2010. After four years, it split into two bodies – the KGBL Choir, attended by KGBL students who don’t attend orchestras, and KGBL Chamber Choir, which consists of approximately 40 singers, who are eager to be challenged, who wish to expand their vocal technical knowledge, and who want to take their repertoire to the next level of quality and tackle more demanding choir compositions. The chamber choir’s repertoire is diverse in genre and style, ranging from Renaissance to Contemporary music. They also often commission new compositions, which they then promote at concerts and competitions on Slovenian as well as foreign stages.

The KGBL wind orchestra is composed of young musicians, students of the Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory, many of whom are recipients of national and international awards. Under the baton of Andrej Zupan, the orchestra performs a classical wind instrument repertoire, as well as arrangements of different genre pieces. The ensemble’s systematic approach to working with young musicians helps them to acquire musical experience during study and provides the foundation of the orchestra’s high quality performances. Many concerts at home and abroad (Greece, Serbia, North Macedonia) testify to the good work of the ensemble.

One of the most enchanting voices of the new wave of Slovenian folk and pop, KiKi is no doubt a project that speaks for itself. Through her theatrically crafted stories, which often sound like hidden confessions coming directly from her soul, KiKi voices out the secrets of domestic folklore and culture as well as her introspective musings. At the beginning of 2023, she released her debut album KRiKi, which she will perform live at MENT with a full band.

Nina Farič, aka Kikiriki, has been performing as a solo artist since 2009.
