On Saturday, 24 October 2026, we’re coming together once again around the music that has been bringing us together for 17 years — for a full evening dedicated to the local drum’n’bass scene, its artists and everyone who keeps it moving.
At 6 PM, we’ll kick things off with an open floor in front of Jalla Jalla, where the DNBKompilacija music video will also be premiered for the first time.
The action then moves into three clubs — Gala Hala, Channel Zero and Gromka — where you’ll find the artists who shape and drive the drum’n’bass scene here at home.
Schedule:
18:00 — open floor in front of Jalla Jalla
20:30 — box office
22:00 — Gala Hala, Channel Zero, Klub Gromka
Music policy: dnb
Admission:early bird €22 (limited number of tickets), presale €25, €30 on the day of the event
Furious breakcore beats and mindless barking to make your head hurt! Seven B’s spelling out the name of a Japanese victory hardcore duo.
Japanese duo BBBBBBB combine aggressive 808 breakcore, ’90s rave and hardcore punk into what they call victory hardcore, inspired by their positive messages. Don’t let the name fool you, though: what awaits is hyperactive sonic devastation and a proper stress test for Channel Zero’s sound system.
Their upcoming album Poop Disco, presented on this European tour, will be released by cult label Deathbomb Arc, known for early releases by artists including clipping. and JPEGMAFIA. The duo’s main producer Saionji recently also contributed several tracks to the debut album by Lord Spikeheart, vocalist of Kenyan outfit Duma.
A full-throttle, absolutely unhinged evening.
“Thumps, thrash, cartoon clown horns, snippets of Seinfeld bass, demented cackling, and a banjo/lawnmower/eldritch screaming are all in the mix.” – Emily Bick, The Wire
“BBBBBBB find a balance between noise and nonsense.” – Patrick St. Michel, The Quietus
Like their Japanese counterparts, local digicore champions mala roza muca & pixel.bambi take a playful approach to music, drawing on internet underground culture and contemporary deconstructions of rave. Distorted samples of popular culture, glitches and distortion pile reference upon reference, creating a sonic reflection of information overload — fragmented into a feverish digital dream.
They have performed at festivals including MENT, Niansa and Grounded, and were also selected for the international SHAPE+ platform.
“Their manic, synthetically metallic electronic sound and primitive children’s songs, while a hanging mobile reflects horrific images, still confuses pre-internet minds.” – Žiga Pucelj, Odzven
SsmKOSK, a Yugoslav-Swabian glitchcore/breakcore experimentalist from Ljubljana’s Bežigrad district, has released five solo albums over the past decade and played more than 50 shows in dark clubs and damp basements stretching from the shores of the Black Sea to the eastern edge of Denmark’s Zealand.
In 2023, he released his latest album 610a: notranji petki, where flamenco is taken apart and rebuilt through the language of glitchcore — surprisingly resulting in his most accessible material to date.
“Imagine Paco de Lucía’s melodies being mangled with some kind of sonic shredder, chopped up and turned into an unrestrained and chaotic, yet thrilling sound collage of ‘glitched-out’ flamenco abstractions.” – Jaša Bužinel, Mladina

The media have described singer-songwriter KiKi – aka Kikiwritings online – as a “witch of intimate tales” and her music as “magical folk-pop.” You may have caught her at EMA 2025, Slovenia’s Eurovision selection, where she performed her song O-ou!.
At her concerts, you might find yourself dancing to upbeat rhythms or shedding a tear over a lament, but either way, Kiki’s voice will whisk you away into her fairytale world, accompanied by the beautiful harmonies of her backing vocalists and lyrics that are often unusual, sometimes dark.
KiKi weaves stories onstage that bring the listener in close, sounding like secrets confessed in confidence. Which, in fact, they are.
KiKi will perform with her band, featuring Matevž Košutnik on keys, Jan Kopač on guitar, Ela Božič on bass, Rok Vižintin on drums, and Gala Pregel on vocals.
She’ll also invite some surprise musical guests to join her onstage.
Iza Napotnik is a solo act who brings songs written in her teenage bedroom to the stage. Looking back, she revisits the past while searching for space to move forward. Through singing above all, she makes room for emotions left unspoken. She writes both her ever-shifting melodies and her own lyrics.
Ladies, gentlemen, witches and devils, hookers and pimps, priests and nuns, little vampires and twisted nurses, deranged movie characters and their victims, young and old, fat and thin — the year has come full circle, and it’s time for some shameless debauchery!
You’re invited to the traditional gathering of weirdos at Gala, one of the city’s wildest Halloween parties, where we’ll be serving up ’80s hits at a hellish pace, so you won’t even have time to run to the toilet.
The name of the event itself, Bright Side of the 80’s, should tell you everything you need to know: we’ll be conjuring up nothing but good vibes, and since we’re stronger together, they’ll hopefully last at least until next year, when we meet again!
Welcome to the world of decadence!
On the witch’s menu: Eurythmics, Wham, The Clash, Dead or Alive, EKV, Killing Joke, Nena, The Bangles, Duran Duran, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Spandau Ballet, Billy Idol, Paul Young, The Cure, David Bowie, Yello, Queen, Madonna, Talking Heads, The Police, A-Ha, INXS, Aerosmith, The Human League, Kraftwerk, Nine Inch Nails, Denis & Denis, Cyndi Lauper, The Smiths…

A band is coming to town that’s an explosion of energy, hard-hitting riffs and an unstoppable punk-rap hybrid. Codefendants blur the lines between genres, delivering a raw, honest and socially charged live show that leaves absolutely no room for indifference.
Fat Mike (NOFX) started a new project, joining forces with Sam King (Get Dead) and rapper Julio “Ceschi” Ramos. Three seasoned musicians from the punk and hip-hop worlds, united by a desire to bring together the genres they love—punk (rock) and hip-hop—and enrich them with a whole range of other musical influences.
The result is a unique and seriously hard-to-pin-down sound that moves between hip-hop, new wave, punk rock, electronics, Latin rhythms and plenty more. They’ve dubbed the genre crime wave. The lyrics draw heavily from everyday life, dragging various outsiders and outcasts into the spotlight, along with addiction, war, poverty, twisted political games, loneliness—in other words, the inconvenient fact that life isn’t exactly a piece of cake for everyone.
They may not have been around for all that long, but they’ve quickly made a name for themselves with their uncompromising approach and powerful stage presence. Which means it won’t be long before we get our chance to get blown away on the sunny side of the Alps as well!
Music policy: punk rock / hip hop / new wave / electronica / latino / indie / crime wave
Admission: €23 presale, €28 on the day of the concert
