K4 Format
K4 Format project was first put together in 2007 to serve as a platform for young music producers to release own material, present it to the public and to promote their work in Slovenia as well as abroad. The goal was and is to compile a collection of high quality, contemporary Slovenian electronic music for all to see, hear and appreciate. In 2007 86 tunes by 37 different authors came in response to a public call. We were quite amazed at the sheer number of participants as well as at the quality of submitted works. Compilation Format 07 was officially released in May 07. It was a promising start and an enthusiastic critic's response, a tight and fresh sounding compilation and the spectacular package design by Multipraktik collective laid a firm foundation for the future.
Since the concept of this compilation in biannual, in 2008 the project took some time off but in the mean time the package design made the cut to be exhibited in the renowned Zgraf 10 exhibition held in May 2008 in Zagreb, Croatia.
In 2009 the second public call was held and this time an even greater number of people responded – 56 authors submitted 110 tunes which alone proves that a project like this is essential to publicly present this incredible outburst of creative energy that seems to be happening on the Slovenian electronic music scene and to steer it all in the right direction. And so Format 09 compilation brought us 20 tracks which symbolically coincided with the 20th anniversary of Club K4 and at a club festival which celebrated this occasion the compilation was presented for the first time. The unusual dimensions of the cover remained the same but the cherry on top is the cover photo of a hand-made installation made out of colorful cardboard and other materials.
With two compilations and 33 released tracks already out K4 Format label plans to put out monthly single releases to harness the potential of young musicians which seems to be all around us and to present this potential to the universe of contemporary and progressive electronic music.
