NIGHTS OF LIGHTS: Gabi98 + Čao Portorož

Music at the Lighthouse!

Gabriele Steffe has grown to become one of the key drivers of Ljubljana’s alternative club culture. Under his DJ alias gabi98, he moves between underground electronic (club) music, world music, derivatives of sarcastic pop, and the legacy of rave culture. His unpredictable sets are a statement against the imposed norms of the hectic and hyper-connected world.

Čao Portorož, a feisty band based in Ljubljana, are Ivian Kan Mujezinović, Gregor Andolšek, and Jan Kmet. Their wild mix of rock & roll and sweet indie rock has been sprinkled with electronic sounds in the form of a pounding rhythm machine and contagious synth lines. Their music can be considered a homage to alternative rock of the 1990s the new wave formulas of the Yugoslavian “school”.
