WCKD Nation & Luciana (soul/funk/hip hop/jazz/indie soul)
In cooperation with Jazz Exchange
Wckd Nation is a community of musicians from Ljubljana, Slovenia, that explores new shapes and sounds of jazz-pop. With only seven singles, two of which were ranked on the list of the best played songs on radio station Val 202, Wckd Nation has become an established sound of the Slovenian radio stations. In addition, they were named one of the most interesting Slovenian bands on the portal 24UR, they won the Radio SI competition, they were nominated for the HEMI Music Award, and they were named the winners of the Golden Flute (Zlata Piščal) awards in the category of Newcomers in 2020. Their single COME OVER, COME BY rose to number one on the best-searched songs on Val 202. After selling out headlining shows at home, the band completed their first international tour in the Baltics in March 2019, including a main stage performance at Tallinn Music Week. After the pandemic Wckd Nation is ready to hit the stages again, at home and abroad.

Goosebumps, charisma and lightness. The Prague-Brno band Luciana was formed in 2019 as a fusion of the charismatic soul singer Luciana Tomášová and Brno musicians. An unmistakable voice, at the same time soft and rough, jazz drums with lo-fi guitar and bass, that's all Luciana is. In 2021, the band released their debut album Fo.
