V soboto, 21. februarja, se nam pridružite na zadnjem plesu 12. edicije festivala MENT. Katedralo Kina Šiška bomo za eno noč preobrazili v superklub, zasnovan za popolno potopitev v zvok in svetlobo.
Napovedujemo živa nastopa Lifecutter: DELUGE in aya x MFO, DJ sete gostov Skee Maska in Polygonie ter domačih sil Sahara Transport Services, MMali in Obscur.
Večer začnemo s pogovorom z Marcelom Webrom (MFO), enim vodilnih vizualnih umetnikov na področju eksperimentalne elektronske glasbe, znanim po svojih potopitvenih svetlobnih in video stvaritvah za festivale, kot sta Unsound in Berlin Atonal. Na elektronski glasbeni sceni je aktiven že od začetka dvatisočih let in je med drugim sodeloval z imeni, kot so Aisha Devi, Ben Frost, Caterina Barbieri in Tim Hecker. V soboto bo svojo edinstveno vizijo predstavil na skupnem nastopu z ekstravagantno britansko ustvarjalko ayo.
Glasbeni program odpiramo z Lifecutterjevim projektom DELUGE, temačnim in zvočno intenzivnim ambientalnim performansom, ki techno, noise in ambient združuje v presunljivo avdiovizualno meditacijo o naravi in človeštvu.
Sledi nastop aye in MFO-ja! Elektronska vizionarka aya se v Slovenijo vrača na krilih drugega albuma hexed, enega najbolj opevanih albumov lanskega leta. Njun performans obljublja unikatno izkušnjo konfrontacijskega »techno kabareta«, kot je še niste doživeli.
Nato vajeti prevzame Sahara Transport Services s selekcijo mutantskega bassa, vratolomnih brejkov in nizkofrekvenčnega dubstepa, za njo pa DJ kabino zasede Polygonia, ki nas bo s svojimi hipnotičnimi teksturami in kozmičnimi techno gruvi vodila še globlje v noč.
Za vrhunec večera je zadolžen eden najbolj cenjenih elektronskih producentov na svetu ta hip – Skee Mask. Pričakujete lahko zanj značilen, žanrsko razgiban in visokointenziven set, ki se brezhibno giblje med technom, breakbeatom, grimeom, bassom in housom.
Večer zaključimo z ekskluzivnim b2b setom lokalnih techno talentov MMalija in Obscura, ki nas bosta popeljala na halucinogeno potovanje na konec noči.
Se vidimo na plesišču!

Last Dance of MENT #12: The Full CE/MENT Programme at Kino Šiška
On Saturday, 21 February, CE/MENT takes over Kino Šiška for the final dance of MENT 2026. For one night, we are transforming Kino Šiška into a pop-up superclub, designed for total immersion in sound and light.
The closing night features performances by aya x MFO, Skee Mask, Polygonia, Lifecutter, MMali b2b Obscur, and Sahara Transport Services.
Start the evening early with an interview with Marcel Weber (MFO), a leading visual artist in experimental electronic music, known for his immersive light and video creations for festivals such as Unsound and Berlin Atonal. Active on the electronic music circuit since the early 2000s, he has toured extensively with artists including Aisha Devi, Ben Frost, Caterina Barbieri, and Tim Hecker. On Saturday, MFO will present his singular vision in a collaborative performance with aya.
The night opens with Lifecutter’s project DELUGE, a dark and intense live performance blending techno, noise, and ambient into a powerful A/V meditation on nature and humanity.
Next, aya and MFO take the stage with a striking collaborative show. Following the acclaim of aya’s hexed, one of 2025’s most celebrated albums, their performance promises raw “techno cabaret” experience for total immersion.
From there, Sahara Transport Services takes the reins, bringing a selection of heavy bass, breaks, and dubstep energy, before Polygonia guides us further into the deep with her signature style of hypnotic textures and cosmic techno grooves.
Skee Mask is in charge of peak time, promising a genre-bending, high-impact DJ set that moves effortlessly between techno, breakbeat, grime, bass, house, and beyond.
We close with a special b2b from local techno talents MMali and Obscur, taking us on a hallucinatory journey to finish the night in style.
See you on the floor!

Regardless Goes East is an exhibition dedicated to the pioneers of electronic music and sound art. It continues the work of Regardless, which first took place at GAMU (Prague) in 2019. Since then, Regardless has continued evolving, and many other projects have emerged that are dedicated to the same curatorial agenda. Regardless Goes East is intended to move beyond gender bias and draw attention to the latent geographical misrepresentation (even within a context that is itself misrepresented). This version, created for Ljubljana, broadens both geographic and cultural references, inviting visitors to engage with these works while exploring their stories.

Thursday, February 19 at 5PM
A collective exploration of the potential of the music community and commoning in bringing about positive change. As sound artists, our main role is to listen and recognise voices that have been silenced. Join us to discuss what more people should hear and what still needs to change, both in the music scene and society in general.
The discussion is initiated and curated by Mary C, co-founder and curator of Synth Library Prague, and features Ida Hiršenfelder, Sara Pinheiro, Bojana Salič Podežva, Urška Preis, Klara Wodenh and Eva Badanjak (Žen). More TBA.

This is not a recording studio – no red lights, no heavy doors, no gatekeepers – just an open room, full of different instruments inviting anyone to express themselves through sound.
Join us for a sound exploration on a playground full of instruments prepared by Synth Library Prague. Try out various setups designed for adventures in sound design and music composition, from modular synths and drum machines to vocal processors and tablets. Explore the instruments on your own or share and play with others out loud (see workshop hours above). Each session begins with a short introduction by Mary C, and we’ll be happy to show you how to get started with each instrument. No special skills are needed – everyone is welcome! You’re also welcome to bring your own instrument(s).

Regardless Goes East je razstava, posvečena pionirkam elektronske glasbe ter zvočne umetnosti. Gre za nadaljevanje projekta Regardless, ki je bil prvič predstavljen leta 2019 v galeriji GAMU v Pragi in se je od takrat razvil ter razširil v številne druge projekte s sorodno kuratorsko agendo. Razstava stremi k preseganju spolne pristranskosti in opozarja na latentno geografsko podzastopanost ter slabo razumevanje lokalnih kontekstov. Ljubljanska različica razstave zato razširja izbor geografskih in kulturnih referenc. Ob spoznavanju in poslušanju vključenih glasbenih del tako obiskovalci odkrivajo tudi njihove zgodbe ter ozadja.

četrtek, 19. februar, ob 17.00
Razprava je posvečena kolektivnemu raziskovanju potenciala glasbenih skupnosti in skupnega upravljanja (commoning) pri uvajanju pozitivnih sprememb. Ena ključnih nalog zvočnih umetnic in umetnikov je, da znajo prisluhniti in prepoznati glasove, ki so bili utišani. V sklopu odprte razprave bomo skupaj iskali odgovor na vprašanje, kakšne spremembe so nujne za boljše delovanje glasbene scene in družbe nasploh.
V razpravi, ki jo bo vodila Mary C, soustanoviteljica in soustvarjalka platforme Synth Library Prague, sodelujejo Ida Hiršenfelder, Sara Pinheiro, Bojana Salič Podežva, Urška Preis, Klara Wodenh in Eva Badanjak (Žen).

To ni snemalni studio z rdečimi lučmi, masivnimi vrati in vratarji – ampak odprt prostor, poln različnih instrumentov, ki vabijo k izražanju skozi zvok.
Platforma Synth Library Prague vabi na odkrivanje igrišča elektronskih instrumentov za oblikovanje zvoka in elektronsko kompozicijo – modularnih sintetizatorjev, ritem mašin, vokalnih procesorjev in tablic. Naučite se, kako pristopiti do vsakega instrumenta, preizkusite njihove številne nastavitve in jih »šraufajte« bodisi sami bodisi skupaj z drugimi (termine delavnic najdete zgoraj). Brez skrbi, za udeležbo ni potrebno nobeno predznanje, s seboj lahko prinesete tudi svoje instrumente. Pred vsakim srečanjem je predviden kratek uvod Mary C.

MENT 2026
music discovery festival
18-21 February 2026
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Here we go! First announceMENT is here! 🩷
Wednesday’s opening features none other than Shabjdeed & Al Nather, the Palestinian duo spearheading the rebirth of Arab hip-hop. Raw. Political. Unfiltered. Their music fuses sharp social commentary with gritty, experimental beats.
The first night doesn’t stop there. Expect the stage – and probably the floor, too – to erupt with Kabeaushé, the Kenyan visionary whose electrifying performances blend experimental pop, electronic energy and bold theatricality.
Thursday night brings another explosive act: Ho99o9, tearing through boundaries with their unhinged mix of punk, rap, and industrial noise — a live show as ferocious as a hurricane.
Saturday’s club night CE/MENT locks in Skee Mask — Munich’s genre-bending producer and DJ from the Ilian Tape crew, ready to take you on a journey through techno, jungle, and beyond.
FIRST SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT:
MENT’s conference returns Feb 19–20 at Kino Šiška and M Hotel, uniting artists, curators, and innovators through talks, mentorships, and networking sessions.

Prvi paket za MENT 2026! 🩷
Festival bo odprl revolucionarni palestinski duo Shabjdeed & Al Nather, ki velja za preroditelja arabske hip-hop scene. Njun avtorski izraz – politično ekspliciten in nefiltriran – združuje ostro družbeno kritiko s surovimi eksperimentalnimi ritmi.
A prvi večer se tu ne ustavi. Oder – in najverjetneje tudi plesišče – bo zajel Kabeaushé, kenijski vizionar, znan po svojih osupljivih nastopih, kjer se prepletajo eksperimentalni pop, elektronska energija in drzna teatralnost.
Četrtkova noč prinaša še en eksploziven nastop: Ho99o9, ki s svojo neukročeno mešanico punka, rapa in industrijskega hrupa brišejo meje in s svojo divjo energijo na odru sprožijo pravi orkan.
Sobotni klubski večer CE/MENT pa bo zaznamoval Skee Mask — münchenski producent in DJ iz kolektiva Ilian Tape, znan po svojem žanrsko raznolikem prepletanju techna, jungla in drugih elektronskih pokrajin.
PRVA NAJAVA GOVORCEV:
MENT konferenca se v Kino Šiška in M Hotel vrača 19. in 20. februarja 2026. Pričakujte številne intervjuje, okrogle mize, mentorstva in hitra mreženja v družbi izvajalcev, glasbenih profesionalcev in inovatorjev iz različnih sfer glasbene industrije.

28. 1., 18:00 @ SIGIC
Trg francoske revolucije 6, 1000 Ljubljana
Predavanje vodi Miran Rusjan
Pred dvanajsto edicijo predstavitvenega festivala in konference MENT, se bomo na SIGIC-u osredotočili na showcase festivale, njihov namen in uporabo. Ti predstavljajo strnjeno možnost nadgradnje izvajalčeve kariere – neposreden stik z raznovrstnimi akterji glasbene industrije.
Na predavanju bomo govorili o splošni uporabnosti predstavitvenih festivalov – tako za glasbene profesionalce kot izvajalce. Kdaj jih je smiselno pričeti obiskovati in kdaj se je smiselno začeti prijavljati na njih ter kaj storiti pred, med in po dogodku. V drugem delu se bomo osredotočili na prihajajoči program MENTa in kako ga uporabiti, na voljo pa bo tudi čas za vprašanja.
Miran Rusjan je vodja konference MENT Ljubljana in ustanovitelj založbe Moonlee Records, ki že 21 let predstavlja alternativno sceno iz širše regije in se je skozi leta razvila tudi v koncertno agencijo. Med njenimi varovanci so tudi KOIKOI, Repetitor, Lelee, ŽEN, Damir Avdić, Seine in Moveknowledgement.
