About
After deconstruction comes the time for reconstruction. Holding a mirror to the dystopian world, Warrego Valles seek hope through humorous materialism. Returning from abstraction on last album to words and meanings, they juxtapose contemporary techno-pop electronic styles with activist utterances and ironic cynicism, queering both genres and languages in the process. On TURBO, Warrego Valles boldly present an authentic and highly potent fusion of pop and progressive sensibilities, ranging from avant-hyperpop with echoes of happy hardcore to trap, electroclash, and Balkan turbo-folk vibes. This masterfully produced sonic package sits firmly between underground club culture and radio-friendly wake-up calls.
Producers, DJs, promoters and queer activists Nina Hudej and NinaBelle are established and dynamic co-creators of Ljubljana’s electronic music scene. The fabric of their potent electronic project Warrego Valles incorporates sharp political critique, activist zeal, genre-bending music, and forward-looking sound design. Nina Hudej and Nina Kodrič’s unique interplay of experimental electronics, club playfulness, melodic passages, social criticism and idiosyncratic, uncompromising expressiveness, fragments and breaks the body of sound into pieces, only to assemble all the scattered parts back together. They released "Location Off" 2017, "Botox" 2018, "save as" 2019 on Kamizdat, their singles and remixes appear on various domestic and international compilations and albums.
They perform at home and abroad, at club events, festivals, radio platforms, in 2021 they performed on the biggest dj platform Boiler Room in Zagreb. In 2023 they curated the international benefit compilation "Peace" as part of the Grounded Festival.
As promoters and curators, they manage the music programme of the Grounded Festival, organise regular music programme at the cultural centre Pritličje and co-organise electronic club nights with the queer collective Ustanova. As an inexhaustible engine, Warrego Valles are active in maintaining safer spaces, critical of misogyny, cis-and heteronormativity. Not always in that order, and most likely in several functions at the same time.
