PETER PIEK (Germany)

“Electric Babyland celebrates brilliant and joyful, lively and radiant primal.”

SCHALL

“Electric Babyland” is the fifth album of German singer, multi-instrumentalist, writer and painter Peter Piek, a man with a unique voice that represents the essence of his intimate music, who is touring all the time. He has played more than 500 shows in Europe, the States and China. He is co-author of three books, founder of various initiatives, and above a musician that masters the piano, guitar, bass and drums. He is constantly creating, painting and exhibiting. At MENT 2020, he will perform twice – first solo and later with Bernhard Eder at Ljubljana Castle.

RUSH TO RELAX (Slovenia/North Macedonia)

“Damjan Manevski is responsible for this brilliant slice of DIY jangle that manages to cavort just around the fringes of ‘proper weird’, without ever really threatening to cross such potentially dismissive boundaries.”

JANGLE POP HUB

Rush to Relax is a solo project that developed after a bunch of failed bands. Damjan's music, deeply rooted in a DIY mindset and under heavy influence of the global rock'n'roll heritage, brings the warmth and intimacy of home-recorded music. The project's debut cassette was released in early September 2019 by Ljubljana's very own Look Back And Laugh label and was followed by two regional mini-tours. His stripped-down and energetic performances that include only an electric guitar, vocals and some pre-recorded material, are a beautiful example of DIY creativity. There's no point if you only rush to relax.
