Stagnat is an AV duo which sprouted from an improvised live act in 2019. Their outburst is a result of their yearning for a joint musical expression, branching out of their past visually-centred artistic endeavours. The result is of a rather experimental nature – techno of a darker shade. Their debut album was released on the London-based label Singularity Recordings along with an experimental film. In December 2021, they co-founded the label DE/FRAGMENT. They have performed alongside several established international artists such as Voidloss, SHXCXCHCXSH, Unn, Lag and Roomek.

He also produces music and collaborates with his sister Sahareya, and has many new house, electro and ghettotech projects coming up.

An established post-punk rock band.

The trio Svojat is a proper rock’n’roll band that grew out of Slovenia’s exceptional free-improvisation scene. The trio is a classic rock line-up, however, the band is its own blend of experiment, difficult to nail down in terms of genre, which combines elements of avant-pop, post-punk, and improvisation.

The broad guiding principle underpinning the music of Širom, whose members hail from the Slovenian regions of Prekmurje, Tolminsko and Kras, is the intertwining of diverse musical approaches and tools, histories of sound and unbridled musical imagination and craftsmanship. The trio’s form of expression is original, stylistically homogeneous, incorporating a wide array of both folk sounds and contemporary acoustic rock-style meditations. Širom’s music is contemplative but becomes sharper when the need (or desire) arises, veering more towards a band-like rather than an intimate, chamber-music sound, more street-like than urban in nature.

The instrumental ensemble ŠKM band, established in 2000 in Beltinci, creates its music at the intersection of rock, noise rock and jazz rock.
