Predstavljamo glasbeni program festivala Grounded 2025. Deveto leto ostajamo zavezani najaktualnejšim smernicam elektronske glasbe – s poudarkom na postklubski, eksperimentalni, queer in radikalni produkciji, ki presega meje žanrov, formatov in odrov.
Letos program kroji tema ODPORA; odpor kot zvočna in politična drža. Zvok kot motnja. Telo kot sporočilo. Ritem kot praksa preživetja.
Festival Grounded 2025 v 𝑐̌𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑘 𝑧𝑣𝑒𝑐̌𝑒𝑟 𝘃 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗰̌𝗷𝘂 odpira libanonska reperka in pesnica 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞, ki z močjo ranljivosti secira osebna in politična vprašanja z nekonvencionalno, udarno besedo. Z DJ setom večer zaokrožujeta prefinjena domača selektorja 𝐂𝐢𝐦𝐫𝐚 𝐱 𝐙𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐚. Otvoritveni večer bo posvečen besedi kot orodju odpora, glasbi kot nosilki spomina in skupnosti.

𝑃𝑒𝑡𝑘𝑜𝑣 𝑣𝑒𝑐̌𝑒𝑟 𝘃 𝗸𝗹𝘂𝗯𝘂 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗸𝗮 prinaša udarni vstop v plesno polje odpora. Producentka 𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐞 predstavlja svojo solo opero Heaven Help Me – visceralno, krhko in brutalno iskreno uprizoritev posledic zlorabe in obnove jaza skozi zvok, telo in tišino. Vpeta v estetike emoja, noisa in hardcora, emme gradi performans, ki zareže – glasno, fizično in brez olepševanja. Z redko slišanim live actom prihaja 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐊𝐄, argentinska producentka, DJ-ka in skladateljica, ki z eksplozivno mešanico elektronskih ritmov, latin cluba in RKT-ja – prelamlja žanrske okvirje in sledi političnemu utripu telesa na plesišču. Večer zaokrožujejo: poljska_i DJ, producent_ka, promotor_ka in gonilna sila digitalne založbe 00effort, ki združuje ambiciozne producent_ke iz Poljske 𝐤:𝐢:𝐨:𝐬:𝐤; kršiteljica lastnih zakonov 𝐒𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬; so called dvojec 𝐒𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 “𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬” in v b2b formatu diggerki 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐒𝐍 𝐆𝐅.

𝑆𝑜𝑏𝑜𝑡𝑛𝑖 𝑣𝑒𝑐̌𝑒𝑟, letos prav tako pred in 𝘃 𝗸𝗹𝘂𝗯𝘂 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗸𝗮 ĹĄirokopotezno v sodelovanju z domačim queer kolektivom Ustanova. Dvorišče bo ogrela Đ𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐚, klub pa premierno z nastopom v Ĺživo 𝐪-𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐱 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭. Prvič po letu 2018 z nami djka, producentka in umetnica 𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐙𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚, ki je na evropskih tleh prvič nastopila ravno na festivalu Grounded l. 2018. Njeni DJ seti in produkcije zdruĹžujejo techno, Chicago house, Belizean punta in queer klubske zvoke v edinstven zvočni izraz, ki je hkrati političen in plesno nalezljiv. Iz sosednje MadĹžarske bo z nami 𝐚𝐬𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐲, čigar glasba odseva digitalne podkulture in Ĺžanrsko neomejene ritme, ki segajo od klubskih eksperimentov do ambientalnega gabberja z drobnimi elementi breakcorea. SveĹž zvok na klubsko sceno iz Beograda prinaĹĄa 𝐀𝐳𝐮𝐥𝐚, z Rotterdama domačinka 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐤 in na domačem terenu natrenirana 𝐑𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐨. Za vizualne intervencije skozi celoten festival skrbi 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐓’𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐢.

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 with this year’s theme 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 🪸
https://www.facebook.com/events/4126348087681055
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 – with a focus on post-club, experimental, queer, and radical production that pushes beyond the boundaries of genres, formats, and stages.
This year’s 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 𝑇ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 at 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗰̌𝗷𝗲 with 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞, 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, 𝐂𝐢𝐦𝐫𝐚 𝐱 𝐙𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐚. The opening night is dedicated to the word as a tool of resistance, and to music as a carrier of memory and community.
𝐹𝑟𝑖𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑛𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 at 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗸𝗮 delivers a fierce dive into the dancefloor as a site of resistance. Producer 𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐞 presents her solo opera Heaven Help Me — 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 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐊𝐄 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 𝐤:𝐢:𝐨:𝐬:𝐤, 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 𝐒𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬, the so called duo 𝐒𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 “𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬”, and a b2b session from deep diggers 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐒𝐍 𝐆𝐅.
𝑆𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑛𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡, once again taking place in and around 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗸𝗮, unfolds in collaboration with local queer collective Ustanova, with an expansive affair of sound, community, and subversion. The courtyard will be ignited by Đ𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐚, while the club powers up with a live debut by 𝐪-𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐱 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭. For the first time since her 2018 performance at Grounded, we welcome back DJ, producer, and artist 𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐙𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚 – 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, we’re joined by 𝐚𝐬𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐲, 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 𝐀𝐳𝐮𝐥𝐚, with 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐤 coming in from Rotterdam, and local talent 𝐑𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐨, finely tuned on home ground, closing out the night. 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐓’𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐢 is responsible for visual interventions throughout the festival.
