FV Music is Slovenia's oldest independent label and promoter of alternative music. It was established in 1985 by musicians from the group Borghesia and a circle of music fans and activists that had previously run Disco FV, the first punk-alternative club in Ljubljana. For several years the only Yugoslav independent label, FV was born out of necessity to satisfy the creative impulses of its founding members.
Today it is the agency for promoting and booking alternative and garage rock'n'roll bands run by Monika Skaberne, a member of the original FV group. It has a strong network of relationships with clubs and local promoters in Slovenia and other ex-Yugoslavian countries, a number of long-standing contacts with European and American agencies, and a roster of some of the most exciting and popular R'n'R bands in Slovenia and Croatia – including KUD Idijoti, Thunderbabies, and Bambi Molesters.

Laibach is a retro-avant-garde music group from Trbovlje, established in 1980. Probably the most internationally acclaimed Slovene band, Laibach works as a "gesamtkunstwerk", dealing in multidisciplinary art practice and mixing their music with visual and video art, as well as with heavy political (and philosophical) undertones. The band is well known for their subtly crafted cover versions, often used to subvert the original message or intention of the song.
Since the beginning the group was associated and surrounded with controversy (their name being the historic German version of the name for the Slovene capital Ljubljana), provoking strong reactions by political authorities in former Yugoslavia. However, as of the 90s onward the band functions as a well known art institution in Slovenia and abroad.
