SURFERS DE LOUNGE
Surfers De Lounge is a duo of experienced musicians, Sandro Pettener and Dražen Dobrila. Sharing a similar view od music, Pettener and Dobrila first worked together on a project almost 20 years ago. Together with many DJs, Petter on the saxophone and Dobrila on the electric guitar have performed all over Istria, Kvarner, and beyond for years. Today, in a slightly different setup (Dobrila at the DJ stand, and Pettener on the saxophone), the due sounds better than ever before, sending positive music vibrations with their combination of electronic and live music to create a relaxing, cheerful atmosphere. Their
quality contemporary music, as well as their musical knowledge and flexibility to adapt to different situations make Surfers De Lounge the ideal choice for afternoon and evening programmes at lounge, cocktail, and wine bars, as well as house parties at nightclubs or open-air events, exclusive events, and even fashion shows, modern weddings, business events, and other occasions.

TEDDY LEE
Teddy Lee has been active on the scene for a number of years, and since 2004 as a selector and DJ. He would say that he is more of a collector than a DJ. His colourful selections and sets span a range of music styles that, of course, depend on the place, the audience, and the atmosphere.

JULIE (ROOTS DAUGHTERS)
Julie started her music journey in the 1990s – by taking her parents’ CDs! She grew up with hip hop, jazz, funk, bossa, trip hop, and reggae. While her peers listened to Backstreet Boys, she decided to play the saxophone and listen to Portishead and Arrested Development. In the 2000s she fell in love with hip hop, started to write her lyrics, and
experimented with her vocal abilities with Shadow at the studio in Rojc. She meditated with the sound system for the first time at Seasplash and was totally absorbed, and became a sound system addict. In 2008 she moved to Ljubljana and met Miss Moon (Soul Ting). They co-founded Roots Daughters and became resident DJs at DubLab (Channel O, Metelkova). It was then that she discovered her passion for vinyl. She performed at a number of regional and international festivals with Roots Daughters, and after moving to Berlin in 2013, she joined forces with Jahminta Zulu and organised parties with a focus on women’s music and criticising the inequality of our society. Even though she is specialised in reggae and dub, anybody who knows Julie can confirm that she likes to listen to a wide range of music, so this time she prepared her favourite soul, funk, disco and highlife records and hits – do not miss!
