Predstavljamo glasbeni program festivala Grounded 2025. Deveto leto ostajamo zavezani najaktualnejĹĄim smernicam elektronske glasbe â s poudarkom na postklubski, eksperimentalni, queer in radikalni produkciji, ki presega meje Ĺžanrov, formatov in odrov.
Letos program kroji tema ODPORA; odpor kot zvoÄna in politiÄna drĹža. Zvok kot motnja. Telo kot sporoÄilo. Ritem kot praksa preĹživetja.

We present the music programme for Grounded Festival 2025.
Now in its ninth year, Grounded remains committed to showcasing the most vital currents in electronic music â with a focus on post-club, experimental, queer, and radical production that pushes beyond the boundaries of genres, formats, and stages.
This yearâs programme is shaped by the theme of RESISTANCE, as a sonic and political stance. Sound as disruption. The body as a message. Rhythm as a practice of survival.
The festival opens on đâđ˘đđ đđđŚ đđŁđđđđđ at đŁđżđśđđšđśđ°Ěđˇđ˛ with đđđđ˘đ§đ đđđĽđđŚđ, a Lebanese rapper and poet who uses the power of vulnerability to tackle the political and personal through unconventional, razor-sharp lyricism. The night opens and concludes with a DJ set by two refined local selectors, đđ˘đŚđŤđ đą đđđ¨đŚđ. The opening night is dedicated to the word as a tool of resistance, and to music as a carrier of memory and community.
đšđđđđđŚ đđđâđĄ at đđšđđŻ đđżđźđşđ¸đŽ delivers a fierce dive into the dancefloor as a site of resistance. Producer đđŚđŚđ presents her solo opera Heaven Help Me â a visceral, fragile, and brutally honest performance that confronts the aftermath of abuse and the reconstruction of the self through sound, body, and silence. Embedded in the aesthetics of emo, noise, and hardcore, emme builds a performance that cuts deep – loud, physical and unapologetic. Argentinian producer, DJ, and composer đđđđđđđđđđđđ joins with a rare live act, bringing an explosive blend of electronic rhythms, Latin club, and RKT, breaking genre boundaries and following the political pulse of the body on the dancefloor.
The night continues with Polish DJ, producer and promoter đ¤:đ˘:đ¨:đŹ:đ¤, the driving force behind the digital label 00effort, which platforms genre-bending electronic music by emerging producers from Poland and beyond. Local force is completed with the rule-defying đđđĄđđŤđ đđŤđđ§đŹđŠđ¨đŤđ đđđŤđŻđ˘đđđŹ, the so called duo đđ¨ đđđĽđĽđđ âđ
đŤđđ đđĄđ˘đ§đ¤đđŤđŹâ, and a b2b session from deep diggers đđ˘đŤđđŽđđĽđ¤đ đ˘đ§ đđđ đđ
.
đđđĄđ˘đđđđŚ đđđâđĄ, once again taking place in and around đđšđđŻ đđżđźđşđ¸đŽ, unfolds in collaboration with local queer collective Ustanova, with an expansive affair of sound, community, and subversion. The courtyard will be ignited by Äđđ¤đ¤đ, while the club powers up with a live debut by đŞ-đĽđ˘đ đđđđ¨đŠđĄđ¨đ§đ˛ đą đđđĽđđ§đ đŹđŠđĽđ˘đ. For the first time since her 2018 performance at Grounded, we welcome back DJ, producer, and artist đđŤđ˘đđĽ đđđđ˘đ§đ â whose first ever EU appearance happened right here. Her DJ sets and productions fuse techno, Chicago house, Belizean punta, and queer club sounds into a singular musical language that is both political and irresistibly danceable. From neighbouring Hungary, weâre joined by đđŹđŻđđ§đ˛, whose genre-defiant club workouts dive deep into the murky waters of digital subcultures, drifting from ambient gabber to glitchy breakcore textures.
Fresh sounds from Belgrade arrive via đđłđŽđĽđ, with đ đŚđđŤđ¨đ¤ coming in from Rotterdam, and local talent đđ˘đđđŤđ¨, finely tuned on home ground, closing out the night. đđ˘đđŤđ đ’đđ¨đ§đ˘ is responsible for visual interventions throughout the festival.
