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, 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.

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.

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.

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).

He has a number of collaborations with names such as Pavol Hammel, Dežo Ursiny, Peter Lipa, Marika Gombitová or Robo Grigorov. So far, he has credited thirteen albums and stage music compositions for films and radio plays as a solo artist.

Andrej is currently preparing a new double album for release - Slovak Dream, which will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor "Rock and Roll from Rača", but will go even further. It promises to contain everything absurd and unbelievable, what is happening between Bratislava and Košice.

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.

• 03 Do You Remember 00:03:31
• 04 Witches 00:03:07
• 05 Time in Space 00:04:16

In April 2024, they present their latest album "No Limit To Love"; a mystical tapestry woven from ethereal threads of magical Slavic trip-hop and ancient harmonies of hippie psychedelia. Their live show is honest and mysterious at the same time, wild but vulnerable, full of human warmth, sexy rhythms, old magic and new joy. Let them light a fire in your soul and take you on an unforgettable adventure where love knows no bounds and the heart finds solace in the realm of song.

Since winning Debut of the Year at Radio_Head Awards 2017, Tolstoys have performed over 200 live shows. Among them were Eurosonic, BUSH, MENT, but also big domestic festivals (Pohoda, Grape, Colors of Ostrava). They toured Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Germany, opening for Tom Odell, Lola Marsh, and Easy Life. Their frontwoman Ela Tolstova was selected for Forbes 30 under 30 and after the release of their 2nd album Mirror Me, which was nominated for album of the year 2022, they appeared on the biggest billboard in Times Square in New York.

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 his music, he seeks to combine his beloved poetry, resonant guitar and acoustic elements with delicate electronics.

• 05 Singo 00:09:01

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.

• 04 II_Post-funeral hope, for the seniors who remain 00:01:46
• 05 I_Disco for seniors 00:02:02

He likes to draw inspiration from classical music and has developed several projects in this area. His music for string quartet has already been performed live at Festival Konvergencie in Bratislava.

Richard's most recent song cycle is called 8 miniatúr pre dychové sexteto a bicie nástroje.

He is also involved in various alternative music projects - Boh Vajec (Richard's alter ego), God and Eve and Raptor Koch.

Jana Kirschner

• 01 Krajina rovina live 00:04:36
• 02 Sama 00:05:44
• 03 Na krídlach divých včiel 00:04:38
• 04 Potopa 00:08:54
• 05 Divná 00:03:11

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.

Richard Autner

• 03 Život 00:04:19
• 04 Odpovede 00:05:42
• 05 Bludár 00:03:24

The answer is fairly simple - Richard Autner has so far focused primarily on his acting career. Being a National theatre drama member, he regularly performs in theatrical productions and you can also get to know him from several Slovak series and films.

With his debut album Odpovede, you can see this versatile artist performing in all corners of Slovakia, often in tandem with another actor, director and musician Martin Geišberg.

You could also notice Richard in the dance show Let's Dance 2023.

He is currently working on his second album. If you like Richard Autner's work, you can contribute financially to the costs associated with recording new songs in the studio. We thank you.

„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.

Ich nový singel prináša svieži a drzý zvuk moderného jazzu s textami reflektujúcimi stav súčasných vzťahov a životného štýlu mladej generácie.

• 03 Bamboo 00:01:55
• 04 Nepovieš áno 00:03:12
• 05 Uspávanka 00:02:47

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.

Longital

• 04 Tvoje vojská 00:05:14

Ich piesne sú výlučne v slovenčine, osobné texty vytvárajú na hudobnom pozadí nevšedné emócie a príbehy, akoby z vlastného vesmíru. Shinin charizmatický spev, hlboké basové linky hrané slákom a výrazná pódiová prezentácia sú vyvažované Danovou divokou hrou na akustických a elektrických gitarách vo všetkých možných polohách od jemných minimalistických verklíkov, jazzových prvkov až po nespútané zvukové steny, prstami, slákom, slajdom, od čistého zvuku, po úplne spracovaný. Ženský a mužský vokál sa prepletajú, chvíľu znejú spolu, chvíľami každý za seba.

Hudba Longital je plná prekvapení a dynamických zvratov. Autorská dvojica prešla niekoľkými žánrovými obdobiami a po rokoch experimentovania s elektronikou v 2012 Longital odkladajú technológie a prichádzajú s akustickým koncertným programom. Nový zvuk Longital ide na dreň pri zachovaní doterajších kvalít: je energizujúci, priamočiary, tanečný. Nové nástroje ktoré pribudli príchodom Mariána Slávku (2014-2020) a jeho prevedenie, dodávajú koncertom živelnosť a dobroddružný ráz.

V programe Longital Suita k nim pribudlo navyše sláčikové kvarteto v aranžoch Slava Solovica.

V súčasnosti sa vrátili opäť k hraniu vo dvojici s príležitostnými hosťami: Daniel Špiner (2021), Andrej Bako (UK, 2022-23).
