Opening concert: SWAI x VXVX

SWAI
SSWAI is a fresh, eclectic techno project from two veterans of the Slovenian electronic music scene: Shekuza and BeatMyth. Both are prominent members of Clockwork Voltage, a collective dedicated to modular synthesisers, and combine decades of experience in music production, songwriting, and live performance as DJs, solo artists, and members of various groups. Shekuza is considered a pillar of the Slovenian techno scene, a prolific creator of modular synth works, and a member of the well-known band Moveknowledgement. BeatMyth is a seasoned DJ and producer who released several acclaimed breakbeat albums with N'toko and is credited with shaping the sound of numerous important domestic records. The two began performing as a tandem and have channelled years of "garage" sessions, recording, and mutual enrichment into a cohesive, recently released album. They have created artfully constructed technoid compositions that are mysteriously eerie in their beauty, . On three tracks, they weave their complex textures and dense, precise rhythmic patterns with the poetry of their friend Ana Pepelnik. Together, they are developing a new genre: techno poetry. They are also one of the 18 artists supported this season by the international platform SHAPE+, which operates in the field of innovative music and interdisciplinary art.
SWAI are Miha Šajina / Shekuza and Igor Vuk / BeatMyth.
VXVX
Vita Kolar is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of graphics, design, animation, and VJing. Her live visuals are a collage of colourful spaces, abstract forms, and retro-futuristic elements, generated through feedback loops, modular structures, and her own experimental materials. Her sets intertwine digital introspection with raw, visual intuition. Her performance is a performative experiment where entirely new forms, structures, and impulsive visual landscapes that resonate with the moment are created.
