From her early age (she started singing when she was 5 years old), she advanced through different musical genres (folklore, classical music, pop, rock, jazz). Her studies of jazz singing at the Conservatory in Messina, Italy, strongly influenced her presence under the direction of one of the most prominent figures in Italian avant-garde jazz, Rosalby Bentivoglio.
She has collaborated on several projects and played concerts with several Italian and Slovak musicians (Livio Minafra, Giampiero Locatelli, Samyr Guarrera, Stefan Bartuš, Alan Bartuš and others).

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Mila Medvedovska was forced to leave her hometown of Dnipro together with her ten-year-old daughter. They finally found refuge in Bratislava, Slovakia, where the local community, including several active musicians, took care of them after their arrival.
Thanks to a fortunate coincidence she met a Slovak piano player and composer Daniel Špiner. Their artistic and creative connection was obvious from the very first meeting. They started to create and arrange songs for their music performances. One and a half year later, they release their debut album Za dlaňou in cooperation with respected artists from the local music scene.
"I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to create with Slovak artists. In the situation my country is in, such support gives me strength, faith and at the same time the opportunity to express my feelings through music and bring our two countries closer together," says Mila.

He has been a permanent member of the Pressburger Klezmer Band for ten years and you can also know him from collaborations with Jakub Ursiny, Richard Autner, Lucia Lužinská or Sisa Michalidesová from the theater performance Silent Rhapsody.
However, the center of his work as a composer and performer of his songs can be found in his trios, with which he recorded several albums released on labels such as Hevhetia, Pavian Records and Real Music House.
Our cooperation started with the release of the Presence album (August 2022) presenting a new trio and interesting guests.

He has been involved in music since childhood and today he is a recognized guitarist, bassist and singer. He considers the year 2004 to be one of the most significant milestones, when Richard Müller approached him with the question of whether he would join him on a concert tour. From this moment, a number of interesting collaborations followed for Martin Zajko.
An important moment in his musical life was the meeting and closer cooperation with the drummer Igor "Ajdži" Sabo. Their joint path began by playing in the formation Sanyland and in Mr. Band of Silvia Josifoska. For a while, they also met in the musical formation Dlhé diely, together they created a very compatible and desirable duo. Together, they recorded, among many other records, Sonia Horňáková's album Pozdrav z Teonatu, and you could often see them on stage with Jana Kirschner or Ďurko Turtev in the Blues Club. However, as a duo Slide & Udu they resonated the most and released 3 albums together at Slnko Records.
Now, Martin Zajko presents another one of his solo projects, an album called Dotyky múz.

Following high-profile collaborations with UK producer Kristofer Harris, 2025 saw his return to Slnko Records alongside Jonatán Pastirčák with the experimental pop EP lullaby2020 (under their Common Line collaboration). When he isn't producing for other artists, Milan channels his craft into community music initiatives with Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth across Canada.

Tolstoys
- 01 Let The Love In 00:04:49
- 02 Ringing Tone 00:04:01
After several years of intensive touring across the UK, Germany, and Eastern Europe - including performances on the iconic stages of Glastonbury Festival and for over 5,000 people at Pohoda Festival - the band has reached a vantage point defined by momentum and shared magic.
Their live shows are built on deep connection: between the band members themselves and with the audience. Night after night, listeners describe feeling shaken, opened, and transported - drawn into a state of tension and freedom that recalls the spirit of the 1960s and the energy of Woodstock. For the band, this is no accident: it is the result of absolute commitment, of musicians who refuse half- heartedness and invest fully in the music and in becoming better human beings for one another.
Since winning “Debut of the Year” (2017), with Botanika (2017), Tolstoys have released three studio albums: Mirror Me (2022), No Limit To Love (2024), and The Buzz (2025), the latter focused on capturing the band’s raw live energy on record. In 2025, they toured Europe with Alibeta, a Senegalese musician, filmmaker, and intercultural artist, merging West African rhythms with Tolstoys’ psychedelic soundscape to create a powerful, cross-cultural live experience in the 360° setting.
Tolstoys are driven by the stage and continue to seek festivals, collaborations, and spaces where collective energy, freedom, and intensity can unfold.

Her musical journey began in 2012 with a concert at the Nu Spirit Club in Bratislava. Her debut album Generácia Y (2013) introduced her as a singer-songwriter with deep, introspective lyrics. Over time, she expanded her sound to include electronic and experimental elements, showcased on the albums Agnostika (2016), Antigona (2018), Celibát (2020), and n5 (2021). Her latest release, Šťastné dieťa (2023), marks a return to acoustic sounds and intimate themes, created in collaboration with producer Petr Ostrouchov and pianist Kristína Smetanová.
Katarzia is known for her socially engaged lyrics and is an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, the LGBTQ+ community, and freedom of expression. Her work has received numerous awards, and she also composes music for theatre and television.

Katarína Máliková (1990) pochádza z Polomky na Horehroní. Mladá a ambiciózna skladateľka načrela do pesničkárskych vôd a loví v nej svoje poklady. Rolu speváčky a klaviristky strieda s tvorením originálnych skladieb a aranžmánov ľudových piesní. Žáner, ktorý tvorí, sa pohybuje na hrane artpopových kompozícií s nádychom baroque minimal a novej world music. Stavia na základoch klasického remesla, ktoré nadobudla počas štúdia hudobnej kompozície a hry na klavíri. Jej tvorba môže miestami znieť scénicky, alebo kinematograficky, pretože je milovníčkou dobrých filmov a divadla. Pestrými hlasovými polohami a kódom tradície v každej piesni sa hlási ku slovanským koreňom.

Bad Karma Boy released their eponymous debut in the spring of 2013 and they were immediately included among the most pleasant surprises of the domestic alternative scene, being praised for a special atmosphere of catchy songs with Slovak lyrics, interesting soundscapes and instruments such as omnichord, vibraphone, ondes or kalimba.
Concerts soon followed at the Grape festival, Pohoda, Colors of Ostrava, but also abroad at one of the biggest European showcase festivals, Tallinn Music Week.
Courage and desire to experiment did not leave Bad Karma Boy even with the third album Prekrásny nový svet, on which the band announced their collaboration with producer Pišta Kráľovič, and the pianist Adela Tihláriková also added her lead vocal for the first time.
The fourth album, called Noc Na Zemi, will be released in autumn 2024.

He collaborated with Oskar Rózsa, Free Faces, Richard Müller, IMT Smile, Peter Lipa, Robo Grigorov and Longital. For many years he intensively played with Jana Kirschner and contributed to her successful albums.

Sung exclusively in Slovak, their songs feature personal lyrics set against a musical backdrop that evokes distinct emotions and stories - as if originating from a universe of their own. Shina’s charismatic vocals, bowed deep basslines, and striking stage presence are balanced by Dano’s wild play on both acoustic and electric guitars - spanning everything from delicate, minimalist ostinatos and jazz inflections to raw walls of sound, executed with fingers, bow, or slide, ranging from pristine clean tones to heavily processed textures. Male and female vocals intertwine, merging together at times and forging their own paths at others.
Longital’s music is rich with surprises and dynamic shifts. The songwriting duo has navigated several genre eras; following years of electronic experimentation, they set technology aside in 2012 to unveil an acoustic live program. Longital’s revamped sound cuts straight to the core while preserving their signature qualities: energizing, direct, and danceable. The expansion of their instrumentation with the arrival of drummer Marián Slávka (2014–2020) and his energetic performance injected an elemental, adventurous spirit into their live shows.
In the Longital Suita project, they expanded their lineup with a string quartet featuring arrangements by Slavo Solovic.
Today, they have returned to performing as a core duo alongside occasional guest artists, including Daniel Špiner (2021) and Andrej Bako (UK, 2022–2023).
To mark their 25th anniversary in 2026, they are once again touring in the Suita format - this time accompanied by a string trio featuring Slavo Solovic, Matej Tkáč, and Milan Adamec.

Jazz, funk, blues, alternatíva, elektronika, hip hop, swing alebo ľudovky? Košická speváčka a multiinštrumentalistka plynule pláva všetkými spomínanými žánrami a autorsky sa realizuje až v piatich rôznych hudobných projektoch.
„Niektorí ľudia sa ma už pýtajú, či nie som pri toľkých projektoch a žánroch schizofrenik. Ale ja proste skladám, čo mi napadne a potom to niekde zapadne. Momentálne má pre mňa priority kapela Fehero Rocher,“ hovorí talentovaná Simona „Sisa“ Fehérová.

Jonatán Pastirčák, known as Pjoni or Isama Zing, has been active for a long time on both the Slovak and international scenes, acclaimed for his film, stage, and experimental pop production.
Milan André Boronell is a singer and songwriter with Afro-Cuban, African-American, and Slovak roots, moving between acoustic songwriting and contemporary alternative pop. He spends most of the year living in Montreal and, in addition to his solo work, has contributed as a producer and songwriter to several international projects (Saya Gray, Anna Justen).
Together, they create a rare zone of understanding, which they strive to capture through music as well: a meeting of two different approaches, genres, and ways of thinking, from which something new and deeply personal emerges.

- 05 Otec 00:03:48
In his alt-folk songs, there is a blend of something local and at the same time unique, otherworldly, and partly exotic - an influence likely shaped by Samuel's half-Jordanian heritage.
The poetic lyrics are deeply personal, intimate stories, often told from a first-person perspective. However, they also carry a philosophical dimension, addressing stereotypes, injustice and flaws in our society.

Daniel Špiner is one of the most sought-after Slovak composers and instrumentalists, as illustrated in his long list of current and past collaborations.
He used to play with Andrej Šeban, Martin Geišberg or the band Longital.
Currently, he creates and performs with Katarína Koščová, Sima Magušinová and Mila Medvedovská. With Daniel Salontay and Jakub Kačic, he recently recorded and released the album Zedzdžez, hard-to-categorize music based on jazz, classical and other influences.

Darkness positive sú Šimon Švidraň (gitara, spev), Adrián Simonides (basgitara) a Matej Richtarčík (bicie a sampler). Hoci sú chalani hudobníkmi už viac než desať rokov, spolu hrávajú len od augusta roku 2012.
Ich nový singel prináša svieži a drzý zvuk moderného jazzu s textami reflektujúcimi stav súčasných vzťahov a životného štýlu mladej generácie.

- 05 Sama 00:05:44
During her musical career, Jana went through a significant transformation from a pop princess to a synonym for musical progress and invention on the domestic scene. With the Moruša project, she brought Slovak and Czech listeners an original combination of modern (so-called western) music production and Slovak musical and cultural traditions.
The Moruša Trilogy: Biela (White), Čierna (Black) and Remixed thus sounds very progressive, worldly but Slovak at the same time. The first part, Moruša Biela, made it to the top 10 of World Music Charts Europe in March 2014.
We are honored that Jana releases albums at Slnko Records. The last one is a refined, organic studio recording Jana Kirschner – Obyčajnosti.

Skúsení hudobníci majú za sebou viacročné účinkovanie v niekoľkých známych a úspešných hudobných zoskupeniach ako Hrana, Jana Kirschner, IMT Smile či Sounds Like This. Na naplnenie ich vlastných tvorivých ambícií však dozrel čas až v roku 2014.
Po siedmich rokoch hrania a zbierania nového materiálu, vydali Talent Transport svoj debut a o štyri roky aj druhý album Napospas. Obidve diela sú fúziou jazzu, vážnej hudby a popu, ktorú interne ozančujeme ako “hudbu humánnu”.
Ich tvorba nesie odkaz legiend Mareka Brezovského a Deža Ursinyho, ale napriek tomu sú Talent Transport ťažko uchopiteľní. Originálni v umeleckom aj verbálnom prejave, ktorý vždy nesie dávky miernej (seba) irónie. Čo je však na nich najcennejšie, nechávajú za seba hovoriť predovšetkým svoju hudbu.

He is engaged in music, acting, and as he expressed in one of the interviews, his greatest desire is to be happy with a roof over his head and food in his stomach.
He became widely known in the spring of 2023 with the song Detviansky sen, an impressive statement about the feelings of a young person in the environment of a small town.
In his work, Vojtik is able to name topics that seem to come from excluded communities, but are actually aimed at the whole society with its problems, low self-esteem, tendencies to discrimination and xenophobia. With this, he sets up a mirror for us and, through the reflection of his life, actually informs us that we are the ones who should change our attitudes towards the unknown, different and new.
His debut album Kvety z Podpoľania was awarded in Radio_Head Awards 2023 as debut of the year.
The second studio album MESSIASH IX will be released on November 15 and for the first time also in physical formats on LP and CD.

In the beginning, there were joint trips and winter hikes to various mountains with guitars on their backs. There, the first ideas and melodies along with a modest ambition to create something meaningful, were born.
The result is 15 songs embedded in 13 visual micro-stories that coexist independently, while simultaneously creating one cinematic whole.

That’s one way to describe the jazz-rock journey of the international ensemble Ari Tsugi, which performed at several European festivals – including the prestigious Glastonbury twice – and gained support from the respected BBC 6 Music and other important tastemakers in the past two years.
Ari Tsugi weaves a tapestry of sound, blending the improvisational spirit of jazz, the swirling colors of psychedelic rock, and the vibrant rhythms of Brazilian music. This truly international ensemble unites musicians from France, Scotland, England, Lithuania, Hungary, and Slovakia/Japan. At the heart of their sound is lead vocalist Alma Rechtman, a rising star on the French music scene. Alongside her are Mashu Harada, Clément Gaud, Joe Weisberg and Angus Macdonald – each bringing their own voice to the collective’s rich dialogue.
