On March 14, Dj Umek will premiere his "UMEK B2B" concept at Ambasada Gaviola. The Spanish hipster Coyu will help with the mixer, and Tube & Berger, Sebastien Leger and many others will do the finishing touches in the electronics. This will be Umeko's first and only appearance in Slovenia in 2015, and in 2016 he will not be in Slovenia at all. So it is a kind of farewell performance.

Before leaving for the HYTE weekend spectacle in Zadar, which will take place between July 22 and 23 on Kolovare beach and in Zadar clubs, we spoke with one of the main stars of the evening.

Anyone who likes to indulge in electronic and hip-hop rhythms has probably had itchy fingers watching mixing masters at work. But DJ equipment is expensive - mixing desk, turntable, player, sound needles,... especially if you don't have professional DJ ambitions. With the advent of controllers, the bar for "recreational" DJs has been raised considerably, and Pioneer's DDJ-WeGO 3 raises it even higher.
When I grow up I will be a DJ! If the son had said this to his father, he would have tried to talk him out of it, saying that there was no future in it. But if his son presented him with the latest list of the best-paid DJs in the world, recently published by Forbes, then he would certainly give him his blessing, which Beca from Prava Nota also sought from her father. Their earnings are enormous, and at the top we find an old acquaintance, the Scotsman Calvin Harris, who once again remains the king of electronic music.
In the courtyard opposite the Škofjeloški Students' Club, among other things, there is also an extremely interesting hotbed of young artistic talents from Loška, Atelje Clobb, which organizes an (r)evolutionary general show in the rooms of Rdeča Ostriga. This time, the party evolution of W and hip-hop MC Kosta presents itself at the club night.
The death of Swedish DJ, 29-year-old Tim Bergling, better known by his stage name Avicii, shook the world.

The pop-up festival Kurzschluss is coming to Ljubljana on April 14. The first guest of this year's edition will be Luciano, a global megastar, festival star and long-awaited winner of five Best DJ Awards.
Computer mogul Bill Gates and his wife Melinda were once again a guest on the show of the popular host Jimmy Fallon, where he promoted his charity website GatesLetter.com, among other things. In order to reach as many young people as possible, he and his wife made a viral video. In it, the father of Microsoft transforms into a DJ at a rave party. The youth are excited! You will too!
Club Cirkus is preparing a big celebration for its 3rd birthday, which will be immortalized by DJ James Zabiela, an old acquaintance of the club scene. One of the most technically proficient DJs and a master of mixing genres returns to Ljubljana after a magical seven years.

Tickets are already on sale.
To cap off the long hot summer, Tobačna will welcome the third Slovenia Urban Culture Festival. The framework of the Saturday gathering will be Sladica with guests, which will prepare the ground for the Norwegian hit maker Röyksopp (So Easy, Eple, Poor Leno, Remind Me, Percent, What Else Is There, Only This Moment, Sordid Affair...). On Friday, the abandoned factory yard will host a "bloc party" with the Pure Oldies Goldies team from Ljubljana's Cvetličarna, and the always excellent David Morales will provide the authentic beat of New York house parties. After moving to Bologna, the Grammy-winner started a new label, Diridim, and entered the summer with the song Away From The Storm, new music is coming with Janice Robinson (There Must Be Love, I Make You Gaga), and apparently there will be no shortage of new music, as we intercepted him while working in a New York studio.
