little sister of a cult Drugstore club with a fine selection of its artists friends.
Lifecutter will create a specific set for Dim, trying to calm his endless evolving industrial beats into an ambient set, while Zergon will dissect us with the newly prepared modular synth set – sharp as a skalpel blade. Tuum, known for his eclectic mystic rhythms will continue the night into smokey grooves.
SONICA is Ljubljana based festival of contemporary electronic music as well as sound and experimental art curated by MoTA – Museum of Transitory Art. Its experimental nature questions exhibition and staging formats, crossing borders between art and theory, object and performance.
For this occasion SONICA has invited three artists to perform at Dim.

The man behind Lifecutter is Domen Učakar, whose musical career appears certainly comfortable in being fed by the multiplicity of inputs belonging to the experimentation of different music genres. Since very young he’s been often on the road playing bass guitar with many local hardcore punk bands, experience that brought him into the Indie Rock project “Icarus Down”, while at same time he was also songwriting for the Electro-Pop “Neon Spektra” project. Versatility seems one of his strength points, as shown by the collaboration with his longtime friend Neven M. Agalma, evolved in the kicking and screaming noise duo “Ontervjabbit”.
