Planning to be in Šibenik for SHIP Festival? Make sure to catch these two exciting Slovenian acts and discover two very different sides of the country’s contemporary music scene. From Nejc Pipp’s atmospheric blend of R&B, electronics and jazz to Gliste’s irreverent, DIY hyperpop, both artists bring a distinctive sound and visual identity to this year’s festival programme.

NEJC PIPP &CO. - 10. September 19:20 @ HULL

Nejc Pipp is a Slovenian singer, songwriter, and producer whose music effortlessly navigates the fusion of R&B, electronics, jazz, and ambient sounds. He gained wider attention with his second album Entropy, establishing himself as a young artist capable of profound and sincere poetry. Weaving moody melodic narratives with tight beats, Pipp creates sonic landscapes that resonate with an unexpected emotional depth. His live act balances this maturity with a modern production edge, offering a raw and intimate experience that bridges the gap between atmospheric electronics and soulful, genre-bending storytelling.

GLISTE - 10. September 23:30 @ Azimut

Gliste is a masked hyperpop duo known for their anonymous identity and signature cardboard box masks. They perform a genre they describe as 'existential children’s pop', blending hyperpop glitch with electronic and hip-hop beats. Their music is characterized by satirical lyrics, everyday humor, and unpolished, DIY production. The project gained attention on social media platforms through short video formats and tracks that contrast simple melodies with the absurdity of daily life. Their sound is inspired by mundane observations and walks through the Slovenian hills, maintaining a raw style that focuses on direct expression and their specific visual identity.

See you in Šibenik!
