Joining hip hop, breakdance, graffiti and video artists and enthusiasts, this urban movement had its first festival emanation in 1999. Musicians both from Slovenia as well as abroad were invited to perform alongside other Street modes of expression, and these Street Explosion events were being held at various venues until 2003.
