RAPETEK EXTRA: IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE (USA)

Support: VUKI VUK (Munje, SI), SAMO BORIS (SI)

+ DJ BORKA

Felipe Andres Coronel, better known as Immortal Technique, was born in Lima in 1978, just before the outbreak of Peru’s civil war, and grew up in Harlem. But he’s far from just another rapper from New York. He started rapping at the age of nine and went on to establish himself as an activist, an uncompromising voice of the alternative, a thorn in the side of the mainstream, and a fierce critic of the political and social establishment.

While studying, he spent a year in prison, where he immersed himself in the works of Black and Latin American revolutionaries, from Che Guevara to Malcolm X. After returning to the streets of New York, he quickly made a name for himself in freestyle battles, while relentlessly honing his technique, flow and razor-sharp lyrical craft.

He made his first major mark with the mixtape Revolutionary Vol. 1 (2001). Its combination of minimalist boom bap, technically intricate rhymes, uncompromising lyrics and a heavy political charge earned him underground credibility almost overnight. Recorded quickly, on a minimal budget and released independently, the project laid the foundation for the path he would follow throughout his career. Rather than signing with one of the major labels, he deliberately chose to build his career on his own terms.

This was followed by Revolutionary Vol. 2, The 3rd World and numerous high-profile collaborations. His music tackles subjects ranging from religion, colonialism and institutional racism to class struggle and social inequality. And his convictions extend beyond his lyrics: among other things, he helped fund the construction of an orphanage and school in Afghanistan and regularly takes part in various humanitarian initiatives.

Immortal Technique is an MC who stands behind his words: a top-tier lyricist with a ruthless flow, a “rapper’s rapper” and one of the most uncompromising voices in underground hip-hop worldwide.

Before our guest takes the stage, two Ljubljana underground veterans with very different styles will be warming things up. First up is the raspy-voiced street poet, member of the notorious Munje rec. crew and dark boom-bap specialist Vuki Vuk. Then comes veteran, exceptional lyricist, seasoned stage performer and sharp social critic Samo Boris, who is currently working on his new album Čas med koncem vica in izbruhom smeha.

BALANS (SI): prisila ne prinese pokoritve — ALBUM RELEASE CONCERT

+ SV. PSETA (SRB)

after: JUPI TER

A new record, a mystical Gala Hala, a cruel world, the same old restlessness. balans are coming to Gala Hala to celebrate the release of their new album prisila ne prinese pokoritve — an ethereal force that refuses to remain trapped between four studio walls and your headphones, demanding a stage, volume and performance.

For the occasion, Gala Hala itself will take on a new form. The space will be transformed into a mystical world created by Serbian artist Veshta Ishtar, turning the concert into a fully immersive visual experience — a landscape where the familiar can suddenly feel strange, and where the line between concert and hallucination begins to blur.

Opening the night will be sv. Pseta, making their Ljubljana debut all the way from Belgrade. Expect just the right amount of noise, energy and Balkan curse to make it perfectly clear that nobody is getting out of this innocent.

For the after, Jupi Ter will take over the DJ booth with a special guitar-energy-inspired selection prepared exclusively for the occasion. No brakes, no rules, no unnecessary questions.

Prepare yourselves for a night where balance is quickly lost.

BALANS: Balans are a Ljubljana-based bunkerpop/art punk duo formed by Andrej Pervanje and Kristin Čona, who have been creating together since 2013. The group occupies a space within the contemporary musical avant-garde, combining the pathos of Yugoslav punk with contemporary performance practices, with parallels stretching from Belgrade to Manchester. They are known for their distinctly artistic approach to both music and visual presentation, frequently collaborating with a wide range of artists, fashion designers and photographers.

SV. PSETA: Sv. Pseta are a Belgrade trio who have already achieved cult status on the local underground scene through a handful of releases. Their sound is unpredictable and untamed, built from a unique blend of instrumental punk, surf, garage rock and noise. They are known for energetic, cathartic performances that quickly pull the audience into their wild and unruly canine playground.

JUPI TER: A Ljubljana-based duo with a soft spot for obscure tracks and a passion for exploring wider musical horizons, Jupi Ter weave together electronic and organic styles, investigating their unusual connections while delivering plenty of infectious pleasure along the way.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: KIKI

Singer-songwriter KiKi – known online as Kikiwritings – has been described by the media as a “witch of intimate stories”, while her music has been dubbed “magical folk-pop”.

In autumn 2024, KiKi released her debut album KRiKi (extended), featuring sixteen original songs in Slovenian, somewhere between pop and folk. Since then, she has performed at festivals including MENT Ljubljana, Folkest (IT), Waves Vienna (AT), BUSH Festival (HU) and Druga Godba. You may also have seen her at the EMA 2025 Eurovision national selection, where she performed her song O-ou!.

At her concerts, you might find yourself dancing along to upbeat rhythms or shedding a tear during one of her ballads, but in either case, KiKi’s voice will take you into her own fairytale world. Together with the beautiful harmonies of her backing vocalists and somewhat unusual, at times dark lyrics, KiKi weaves stories on stage that draw the listener in close and sound almost like whispered secrets.

Live, the singer-songwriter performs with a band consisting of keyboardist Matevž Košutnik, guitarist Jan Kopač, bassist Ingrid Laventure, drummer Martin Jocif and vocalist Gala Pregel.

With her latest song Povej, available on her YouTube channel, KiKi is already teasing her second album, Pravljice.

“KiKi’s debut KRiKi is a gentle, intelligent and, for that very reason, outstanding album. It shows that it is only by taking life apart into its individual wheels and gears that we can most clearly reveal its complexity. The artist’s unique vision has translated into an exceptionally pleasant listening experience that leaves you with the precious feeling that you understand and are understood. So let us not be stingy with our words and say it plainly: we have a serious contender for domestic album of the year before us. The future, it seems, does indeed have variations, and Kiki has just set off down one of the best.”
– Marko Miočić, Radio Študent 2023

“KiKi is undoubtedly one of the most intoxicating musical discoveries on the Slovenian music scene in recent years. Her intimate confessions and relationship with her surroundings gain another dimension through her highly functional, yet far from conventional vocal interpretation. This is true in audiovisual form, and even more so live, where her powerful stage presence and gentle voice effortlessly draw the audience into her world of imagination. And it resonates from the heart.”
– Druga godba 2023

“𝐊𝐢𝐤𝐢’s intimate singer-songwriter music is one of the most intoxicating musical discoveries on the Slovenian music scene in recent years. With her powerful stage presence and gentle voice, she irresistibly pulls the audience into her world of imagination.”
– Festival Godibodi, 2024

Music policy: magical folk / pop / fairytales

Entry: Presale €12 (mojekarte.si), €15 on the day of the concert
