LBM Abroad: MENT Festival (Ljubljana, SI 2018)

At an age where I can’t even be bothered to see what’s relevant anymore in the world of music outside of China, I was glad to have the MENT Festival turn me upside down, shake me loose, and remind me that there are bold new sounds happening all around the world for those interested enough to seek them out. And I’m sure as hell going to seek them out now. What more can I say? MENT Festival – you blew my mind.

Gigwise went to Slovenia for the primary Eastern European showcase event and discovered a hotbed of new musical talent in the process

Ljubljana. Capital city of Slovenia whose population of just over a quarter of a million people accounts for more than 10% of the nation’s inhabitants. Once known as Laibach, a name perhaps more widely associated with being Slovenia’s most famous musical export. It’s a city steeped in history and tradition where tourism is currently rivalling the manufacturing industries of pharmaceuticals and food processing as the country’s fastest growing economic sector.

LEYYA + Futurski, 23. 3. 2018

Following great shows at the MENT Ljubljana and Urbano dejanje festivals in 2016, Austrian duo LEYYA, whose electronic trip-hop/pop swiftly spread throughout the continent and established the pair as darlings of the biggest European showcases, are coming back to town with their excellent new album Sauna. We’ll warm up with local synth-poppers Futurski, who won us over at our anniversary party in September, then at this year’s MENT Ljubljana.

Young Fathers at MENT Festival, Ljubljana, review: Compelling, visceral, vibrant

Their show remains a strikingly stark, no-nonsense affair; the rhythms clatter against synths and shards of noise, all bathed in a sparse, monochrome light.

10 great new bands from MENT festival : live review

Of course we will have missed a few bands – MENT is a cornucopia of bands mainly playing in the semi-squat venues of Metelkova Mesto – one the largest, and arguably most successful, urban squats in Europe which sprawls across 12,500 sqm of an abandoned army base and has about six venues in its graffiti-strewn mad max old-school space.
