Drum & Bass With "Bass Fighters XL" a new milestone is reached.
2020 - Big plans quickly fall apart because of COVID-19. What will 2024 bring?!

TIMELINE:
2014 - Spencah forms Bass Fighters crew, which starts gaining national recognition with monthly events and DJ bookings in Slovenia.
2015 - Bass Fighters switch their residency to Gustaf Pekarna.
2016 - They begin to invite more international guests, and start DJing abroad as well. In November they make their first headliner booking, as they start a new event series called "Akcija".
2017 – Akcija features many smaller international headliners and Spencah starts working as the program manager of K4DNB event series in Klub K4, Ljubljana.
2018 – A new club residency comes to light at Jazz Klub Satchmo in Maribor, where they start doing "Difrakcija" event series monthly.
2019 – Headliner bookings are getting bigger and another club residency appears at Štuk in Maribor, the biggest venue so far. They take the year to create a new brand in a new location: Eksperiment bar, where many smaller events and livestreams take place, to keep the scene alive even in the harshest conditions. The biggest Slovenian DnB artist Smooth joins their ranks. Together with City of Maribor (MOM) they do workshops on music production, DJ-ing and event organization.
2021, 2022 - For the first time “Bass Fighters Festival” takes place in Pruh, an abandoned quarry in the forest. Over the next 2 years they organise many open air events there.
2023 - Bass Fighters crew shifts their focus back to club nights, hosting bigger names than ever before, and DJing all over Europe.

Markoman (Marko Zidaric) has been at the centre of Slovenian drum & bass since 1997.

In 1998 he started the Illegal Life nights at Pekarna in Maribor and co-founded Illegal Kru, the collective behind the Digital Dungeon nights at Klub K4 and the Brejkpiknik open air.

As a producer he has released solo records since 2004, darker material with Tsunami on PRSPCT, Onset Audio and Temper D Productions, and, with Smooth as Telekinesis, a run of EPs on Blackout, Eatbrain, Viper and Bad Taste that were played by Pendulum, Black Sun Empire, Ed Rush, Audio and Dieselboy.

In 2025 he launched his own label, Illegal Audio, opening it with the DREAM EP; the label reached eleven releases in its first year.

In Maribor he runs the DarkFunk (DRKFNK) nights with Bass Fighters.

DARK FUNK: WAEYS (CRITICAL MUSIC / OVERVIEW | NL) 🖤🔊

Slovenia… we’re going deep this November. 👀
Bass Fighters × Illegal Audio join forces once again — and this time we’re bringing one of the Netherlands’ finest to Maribor: WAEYS. 🇳🇱
Winner of Best Newcomer at the Drum&BassArena Awards, Waeys has firmly established himself as one of the names at the forefront of the deeper, techier side of Drum & Bass.
With releases on Critical Music, Overview, Shogun Audio, DIVIDID, Delta9 and more, his sound is all about precision: deep atmospheres, stripped-back grooves and seriously heavy low-end. 🔊
Clean. Techy. Minimal.
And absolutely made for a BIG sound system. 🫠
Bass Fighters × Illegal Audio.
Two crews. One room. Full spectrum of Drum & Bass. 🖤

A little throwback to the events we could only hope to make when we were younger. 😅

Back when we were kids and obsessed with dnb and used to play their tunes and dream about bringing these artists to our events one day. Years later, we actually did. 😂❤️

Still pretty crazy when you think about it. 🤯
