Martin Martian, also known as Martin Vogrič Dežman, is a Martian who took up temporary residence on Earth. Reflecting his life on our planet, his lyrics also touch upon – with complete sincerity but also playfulness – the issues of memory and haphazardness. Despite the prevailing pop rhythms, Martin does not restrict his music universe to a specific genre. In some of his compositions, many of which show traces of funk and electronica, the ukulele takes centre stage.

Ankaran-based artist Masayah is a powerhouse of Slovenian hip-hop. A multi-talented rapper with a strong pop sensibility, her single Ni panike was one of the most-played tracks of 2022, and in April 2023 she released her debut full length Zavedno, a stylistically colourful and socially conscious album that earned her the Zlata Piščal Rookie of the Year award. At just 22 years old, it seems like she has been part of the scene since forever. An artist who doesn't pull any punches, Masayah employs a variety of styles and chameleonically switches between different registers, taking you on a musical journey from hip-hop and trap to R&B, soul and pop rock
