From Macedonia, we check out 21 Vek, their new single. Rebel Star operates in Serbia and Hungary and now collaborates with Zagreb’s Zvonka Obajdin. Also in Zagreb, Croatia, Nina Romi? is back with the new single. Koikoi is a new name for us, a four piece from Belgrade Serbia. Then we zig zag back to Zagreb and check out Confidential & The Secret Four. Then we end up all the way North in Slovenia and introduce Matthias von Stumberger und seine Jugend. We pay tributes to fallen Yugo rock representatives, Marina Tucakovi? who was a lyricist for many popular songs, singer songwriter and TV presenter Minja Subota. Also musicians Sanja Ili? and Zafir Hažimanov.
