Front Rock

Since the late 1980s numerous young bands and idiosyncratic musical artists, who normally attract a limited and distinctive target audience, have made their public debut on the Front Rock label. The label has thus far featured all the music created by Center za dehumanizacijo (CZD) (13 recordings) and about 15 recordings by other bands or compilations, including Polska malca, Pure laine, Delaware, IN4S, Schnele fee - The MI, Pridigarji, Scuffy dogs, Dr Zero, Hoću? Neču! (Serbia), and Americal MDC. Some LPs and CDs are sought-after curiosities, both at home and abroad. Front Rock's popular series of compilation recordings from the No Border Jam Festival represents an important promotional tool for Slovene contemporary rock. In 1999 the Front Rock label was integrated into the music publishing programme of a new independent cultural organisation, Subkulturni azil Maribor, which expanded its production to other genres such as chansons, folk music, and electronic music. Its current programme features primarily ground-breaking first recordings of talented and skilful musicians. The interdisciplinary field has been explored through a CD series Rokerji pojejo pesnike ('Poets Sung By Rockers') conceived by Subkulturni azil and published within the MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre. Subkulturni azil releases include: Xenia Jus, KvinTon, Roma Ramadan, Tamburaši iz Cirkulan and Electric Tea. Subkulturni azil - Front Rock recordings and sound editing are mostly done at the Studio at the Border, which presents a platform and a stimulus for local and international creative co-operation and networking in the field of music.
