Slovenian sonic wizard, DJ, composer and keyboardist Miha Šajina aka Shekuza has been creating music for ages. While he is best known for his bands Moveknowledgement and EWOK and his scores for the animated series Koyaa, Šajina now spends most of his time exploring modular synthesis and contemporary electronic music. He recently released his debut album “De Sica”, an intriguing mix of modular techno and cosmic IDM… and probably the best Slovenian electronic music debut in years.

The five-piece Slovenian rock band Siddharta was formed in 1995. Throughout a career spanning over two decades, Siddharta have confirmed their status as one of the most popular music groups to emerge from Slovenia. Showered with praise since the very beginning, the band that takes its name from a well-known Herman Hesse novel has bagged numerous national music and media awards and kept churning out hits by the dozens. Noted for their own unique sound, Siddharta have played virtually all Slovenian venues and performed extensively on international concert stages.

Astral voyagers Siderean venture into grotesque celestial sonic realms, melding deep space atmosphere and dissonant death metal abstraction with grand mythopoeic narratives. Their roots grow out of far-reaching influences from the old-school and unfurl toward the stars. The band’s debut “Lost on Void’s Horizon”, released on the Norwegian label Edged Circle Productions in 2021, showcases their own vision, a combination of progressive and technical death metal that is as fascinating and enthralling as it is disorienting.
