The members of Ljubljana’s proficient trio, DJs Bakto and Borka and drummer Marjan Stanić, are all veterans of the local scene who for decades have been digging through the rich legacy of soul, funk, rock, jazz, blues, folk, African psychedelia and Greek nostalgia, as well as ex-Yu and Brazilian popular music. Their artistic expression is rooted in hip hop culture and based on the manipulation and recontextualisation of various samples, which they glue together using record players into exciting “collage compositions”, underpinned by Stanić’s breakneck rhythms. In addition to famous songs from their discography, the core of their concert repertoire is the recent album Jusqu’ici tout va bien (rx:tx, 2024), an intercontinental dance treat that takes us from the beaches of Brazil, mangroves of the Caribbean and banks of the Mississippi to the coasts of North Africa, Greek islands and the mountains of the Balkans.
