At the end of May, arriving:

𝐊𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐊𝐒𝐇𝐍, a Slovenian nuclear electro-rock band from Posavje that has spent more than a decade blending punchy guitars, modern electronics and live drums into an explosive mix of breakbeat, drum’n’bass and (post)punk energy. Between 2015 and 2025 they performed over 130 concerts in 13 countries and released 3 albums and 1 EP, placing them among the most battle-tested live Slovenian acts in the region.
They have appeared at notable venues and festivals such as Omladina Fest (Subotica), Tvornica kulture (Zagreb), MENT Ljubljana and many others, extensively touring across the former Yugoslavia and Central Europe.
In 2024 they became the first Slovenian band to perform a full set with the Symphony Orchestra of the Krško Music School in the Izštekani radio show (Val 202), and in the same year signed with NIKA Records. March 2025 saw the release of INTRO — their first album in Slovenian and their most personal material to date, cutting into contemporary mental states and social fractures without losing speed or dancefloor momentum.
The album was launched with a sold-out promotional concert at Kino Šiška, while the single Večna was selected as Song of the Week on Val 202. A KONTRADIKSHN show is loud, physical and cathartic.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐄, a coastal quartet revealing the introspective chaos of modern humanity through a mix of raw grunge, infectious funk grooves and heavy blues riffs.
Their debut album Baffled Driver is currently resonating on the airwaves, portraying a colourful ride through life situations such as numb relationships, unreliable happiness, suppressed hopes and eternal rebellion inside a circular road with no exit.

𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐀, from Istria, has been creating and performing regularly since September 2005. They have played most Slovenian clubs and many festivals across Slovenia as well as several abroad (Klubski maraton RŠ, Art n Music Festival Pula, Mosor Zagreb… organisers of IzolaMjuzikFest).
They recorded three studio albums — Dance Mamblita (2007), ReciklejŠon (2009) and Amor (2013) — and shook the Slovenian underground scene, where they were crowned the first Slovenian DnB band.
The summer hit Letizmano received MTV airplay.
After the unfortunate, deeply sad and unexpected passing of Maxi, drummer and vocal duties are once again taken over by Boris Beštjak, while the driving force Andrej Šik will keep the groove flowing on bass and vocals.
