Monkibo

Monkibo came into being in 1998, when members of Jungle Star Communitee (a breakbeat producers crew from Ljubljana) organized themselves into an informal collective for the development of various forms of urban culture. Monkibo, as they called themselves, was at once a DJ and producers crew, an event organiser, founder of a web portal for hip hop music and also a record label.

As a label, they released the first (or, as some dispute, the second) breakbeat compilation in Slovenia called Monk-o-rama (1999). Featuring most of the relevant Slovene artists dealing with this kind of music and fast sold out, it was was also the last of the music they published. They were more successful as a musicians collective; besides playing music on numerous events since the end of previous millennia (outside as well as inside Slovene borders), they also organised numerous all night events of various musical orientations and brought many perspective or renowned foreign musicians to DJ booths across Slovenia. They also hosted a bi-monthly live radio show about music and urban culture called Monkibo Show on Radio Študent (RŠ).

Some of the musicians that were or are a part of the collective are DJ Lunic, DJ Van Alec (alias DJ Vandalek), MC Kosta and Markof.

Monkibo website
