Moving as a Giant

Artist

Moving as a Giant is a Slovenian noise-via-post-rock band formed in 2022 in Murska Sobota. In 2023 they took part in the Radio Študent Club Marathon, the yearly club tour through the Slovenian club underground, and in 2024 they released their self-titled debut album on Kapa Records, which received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and listeners alike. Their shared passion for noise is manifested in powerful and noisy synth lines and rhythmically as well as compositionally unconventional post-rock foundations, intersected by deep and passionate, though at times also very vulnerable and emotional female vocals.

MRFY

Artist

MRFY is the most successful Slovenian indie rock band of the past half decade. With a relaxed approach, witty attitude and unique aesthetic, the four-piece has developed an original contemporary rock sound that won over the Slovenian public. Their debut album Story (2018) was an important landmark for the local music scene as it inventively broadened the meaning of Slovenian indie rock. Many singles from their sophomore album Use (2022) have become major hits on the national radio Val 202. Last spring, the band returned to the studio for the third time and recorded their first album in English, which they plan on releasing in 2024.

Muzikačaka

Artist

Muzikačaka is one-woman band (Sara Korošec) that does not consider herself inside one specific genre. What is important about her music is the concept. For many years, Sara’s music was quietly waiting to be born, until her debut album came out in winter 2015 in Haloze, a period of virtual and social isolation marked by burning a farmhouse stove and chopping woods. In recent days, Muzikačaka is aiming to combine diverse approaches. Music production programmes, field recordings, live electronics, live acoustics and looping, improvisation and arrangements, pure sound research and concepts, as well as contexts where and how the sound is played and listened to... Surrounded by an old-school stove, stopped time and never-ending hills, as well as flowing vocal layers, electronic beats, piano and acoustic sounds, field recordings and poetry.
