CUK Kino Šiška and the SONICA festival present the June Festival in Ljubljana - Electronics in the City, an audiovisual event that will present some of the most current trends in the electronic music scene at home and around the world. Clark (Great Britain), Blaž Simon (Slovenia) and Oknai (Slovenia, Germany) will perform. On June 19, there will be dancing to electronic rhythms in the city center.
Under the open sky of Ljubljana, the dark, but persistently creative and always surprising, is returning after six years Clark, who with this year's tour selling out club and festival stages in Europe and America. Since his last visit to Ljubljana (at the 2009 Pomladi Festival), he has already released three albums and quite a few EPs and has followed an interesting musical path. With a critically acclaimed album Iradelphic he drifted into a more pronounced melodiousness with harpsichords, guitars, piano and vocal inputs. He was followed by a hit series of almost classic remixes Feast / Beast, which in terms of production and creative perfection can be compared to 26 Mixes for Cash (Aphex Twin). With the last album of the same name CLARK, whose tour is accompanied by oscillating green visuals and a shadowed image, clearly returns to its club techno roots. These marked his first performances, with which he convinced the WARP label, whose protégé he is still today. A whole series of critical ovations testifies to his complete mastery of them. With his latest album and his fruitful musical career in general, CLARK deservedly stands alongside Squarepusher, Autcehra and Aphex Twin, and with each new release he proves that his creative power can be fueled by ever-new musical explorations. This time, accompanied by audiovisual oscillations, we will focus on his best chapter, techno.
