Suure rõõmuga teatame, et Telliskivi Loomelinnaku ja Selektor Studio poolt tänavuse Tallinn Music Weeki artistidele suunatud stuudioauhinna konkursi võitis shoegaze’i bänd mariin k..

Auhinnana ootab artisti ees kuni nelja muusikapala salvestamine, miksimine ja masterdamine Selektor Studios koos produtsendi ja salvestusinseneri Martin Laksbergiga.

„Oleme siiralt tänulikud selle võidu ja võimaluse eest, loodame salvestada uut muusikat veidi teistsuguse lähenemisega ja usume, et Martin Laksbergi toob sellesse värsket vibe'i”, rõõmustab Mariin. Ta selgitab, et kui senistel üllitistel on instrumente salvestatud eraldi, siis seekord on sihiks salvestada kogu bändi korraga, lisades: „Oleme kaks aastat koos tegutsenud ja tervikuna salvestamine oleks nagu fotojäädvustus bändist just selles hetkes. Samuti usun, et niimoodi töötades pääseb paremini esile ehedus, mida saab kogeda meie esinemistel.”

✨Nii tänavune võitja mariin k. kui ka eelmine auhinnatu La Fazani esinevad septembris festivalil Station Narva. Mariin Kallikorm mängib samal festivalil ka Briti trip-hop’i legendi Tricky bändis.

We are delighted to announce that estonian shoegaze band mariin k. has won the studio award competition by Telliskivi Creative City and Selektor Studio in collaboration with Tallinn Music Week.

The award includes recording, mixing and mastering 3-4 musical pieces at Selektor Studio with producer and recording engineer Martin Laksberg.

"We are genuinely grateful for this win and this opportunity — we're hoping to record new music with a slightly different approach and we believe Martin Laksberg will bring a fresh vibe," says Mariin. She explains that whereas on previous releases instruments have been recorded separately, this time the aim is to record the whole band live together. "We've been playing together for two years now, and recording as a whole would be like a photograph of the band at exactly this moment. I also believe that working this way will preserve more of the raw energy of our live performances," she adds.

✨Both mariin k. and last year’s winner La Fazani will perform at the Station Narva festival in September. Mariin Kallikorm will also perform at the same event as a guitarist in the British trip-hop legend Tricky’s band.

TMW 2025 esinemise tuules Telliskivi Loomelinnaku ja Selektor Studio stuudioauhinna võitnud La Fazani avaldas täna EP „Ekstrovert“. Kosovo pealinnas Prishtinas ja Tallinnas Selektor Studios Martin Laksbergi toel salvestatud muusika ühendab hiphopi, indie-, elektroonilise muusika, afrobeat’i, reggaetoni ja Balkani muusika mõjutusi.

Algselt ühe kogumikuna kavandatud projekt kasvas aja jooksul kaheks omavahel seotud, kuid vastandlikuks lühialbumiks, mis uurivad ideed, et identiteet ei ole kunagi ainult üks asi. Duaalse projekti teine pool „Introvert“ ilmub novembris. Albaaniakeelsed lood käsitlevad armastust, iha, ego ja enesekuvandit, peegeldades samal ajal maailma, mida kujundavad üha enam nähtavus, raha ja digitaalne tunnustus. Koos moodustavad täna ilmunud EP ja selle peagi ilmuv järg portree tänapäeva vastuoludest – maailmast, kus vastandlikud jõud eksisteerivad kõrvuti, mitte ei võistle omavahel.

La Fazani on Kosovo pealinnast Prishtina pärit helilooja, produtsendi ja muusiku Arbër Salihu muusikaline projekt. Ta on tuntud Balkani muusikatraditsioonide põimimise poolest hiphopi, indie-, elektroonilise ja alternatiivse muusikaga. Viimastel aastatel on temast saanud üks Kosovo kaasaegse muusika omanäolisemaid hääli, liikudes sujuvalt underground-kultuuri ja laiema tunnustuse vahel.

🌟La Fazani naaseb Eestisse juba 5. septembril, kui ta astub üles Station Narva festivalil!

Telliskivi Creative City Award 2025 winner La Fazani has released a new EP Ekstrovert. Originally conceived as a single album, the project gradually evolved into two connected but contrasting releases, exploring the idea that identity is never just one thing. Second EP called Introvert is set to be released in November.
Recorded between Prishtina and Tallinn, the music moves across hip hop, indie, electronic, afrobeat, reggaeton and Balkan influences. While Ekstrovert leans toward warmer, playful and immediate energy, Introvert ventures deeper into more intimate and experimental territory.

Performed entirely in Albanian, the songs explore love, desire, ego and self-image while reflecting on a world increasingly shaped by visibility, money and digital validation. Together, the two EPs form a portrait of modern contradiction – where opposing forces coexist rather than compete.

La Fazani is the musical project of Arbër Salihu, a composer, producer and performer from Prishtina, Kosovo, known for blending Balkan musical traditions with hip hop, indie, electronic and alternative influences. Over the past years he has become one of the more distinctive voices in Kosovo’s contemporary scene, moving between underground culture and mainstream recognition, including winning the first edition of Kosovo’s national song festival in 2023 with the song “Oj Kosovë”.

🌟On 5 September, La Fazani will be back in Estonia and performing at Station Narva 2026!

𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲.

At the TMW 2026 conference, festival organisers from across Europe reflected on what keeps audiences coming back, year after year. Beyond line-ups and headline acts, the conversation kept circling back to community, shared values, and the feeling of being part of something bigger. As audiences grow more intentional about how they spend their time and money, festivals are increasingly focused on crafting meaningful experiences — spaces where people connect, discover, and belong.

The most memorable festival moments often happen far from the stage.

⚪If you missed out or want to rewatch the conference panels, they're available for all PROs. You can also pick up a TMW 2026 DigiPRO Pass — or go all in with a Tallinn Music Week 2027 PRO Pass, giving you both online and on-site access to conference panels and full festival entry.

The second edition of Hooked on Estonia festival made its home at Rosendals Trädgård in Stockholm’s Royal Djurgården on Saturday 23 May, for a day of Estonian music, food and design. Organised by Visit Estonia, with Tallinn Music Week and Music Estonia among its partners, the festival is establishing itself as one of the most distinctive showcases of Estonian culture in the Nordic region. TMW curated the Hooked on Estonia live stage, presenting The ROCKET, Anna Kaneelina, Erki Pärnoja and Duo Ruut.

Ragnar Berthling, Director of Musikcentrum Öst/Sweden, who introduced the TMW stage, noted that the bonds between the two countries’ music communities have never been stronger: “Musikcentrum Öst has a long line of fruitful collaborations with the vibrant music communities of Estonia — from the gender equity project Keychange, where both TMW and MCÖ are founding partners, to a long range of musical collaborations between Swedish and Estonian artists. The Estonian scene is more vibrant than ever and it was a true pleasure to host the music programme at Hooked on Estonia. The bonds between the countries are strong and I really hope to see growing opportunities in the coming years.”

Agnia Nast, Head of Visit Estonia, underlined the power of music as a tool for inspiring travel and cultural curiosity: “One of the most powerful things about music is its ability to spark curiosity in a natural way. By bringing Estonian artists into the festival experience we created an atmosphere that felt creative, emotional and authentic — qualities that reflect Estonia very well today. As travellers increasingly seek meaningful experiences and cultural connections, music is one of the strongest ways to inspire people to connect with a place and discover more of what it has to offer.”

Andur, elektroonikavõlur Mihkel Kuusk, Yasmyni ja Maris Pihlapi uus koostööprojekt Flight Mode ning paljud teised teised.

Hooked on Estonia! 🇪🇪👋What an unforgettable weekend in Stockholm. Rosendals Trädgård in Royal Djurgården became a sun-dappled sanctuary where our country’s creative spirit, showcased by Visit Estonia, found its home, welcoming over 6,000 visitors to get hooked on our music, food and design.

We were glad to present the TMW stage with The ROCKET — Tuulikki Bartosik and Svante Söderqvist's boundary-pushing accordion and Nordic jazz; Anna Kaneelina & Erki Pärnoja's rare, unhurried intimacy; Erki's Himmelbjerget — music for a film yet to be made by this Estonian-Swedish band that could fill stadiums — and the spell of Duo Ruut's gloriously untameable folk. Our own selectors Indrek Migur and Ingrid Kohtla dug deep into Estonia's weird and wonderful, and DJ Kerttu closed the evening.

Huge thanks to Visit Estonia for bringing this to life, and to all our collaborators: Music Estonia, the Estonian Ministry of Culture, the Estonian Association of Designers, and I Land Sound for the cool vibes at the Secret Garden. Our regions, restaurants and talented chefs brought the real tastes of Estonia to Stockholm — and it was a joy to see our partners and friends Fotografiska Tallinn and VLND Burger among the crowd's favourites. What a joy to have our long-time partner and friend Ragnar Berthling, Director of Musikcentrum Öst/Sweden introduce our music stage. And it was great to venture Stockholm’s music companies and venues Kollektivet Livet, Slaktkyrkan, Birds Will Sing For You, Luger, and Stallet within the industry tour led by Music Estonia, alongside fellow professionals JV-Promotion, Main Character Agency, Tier Music Publishing, Kikumu Festival, and MYM.EE.

Tack, Stockholm and Rosendals Trädgård for all the lilacs, orchards and green beauty that didn't just host us, but truly held us.

Laibach toob juba sel kolmapäeval Salme Kultuurikeskuse lavale täiesti uue kontsertprogrammi. Kontsert on osa sel nädalal alanud Euroopa tuurist, kus esitatakse nii uue albumi “MUSICK”materjali kui ka valikut klassikat läbi aegade.

Mai alguses plaadifirma Mute alt ilmunud “MUSICK” ühtaegu kritiseerib ja pühitseb tehisintellekti poolt vallutatud kopeerimisajastu moonutatud reaalsust. Tegu on Laibachi karjääri ühe popilikuma teosega, mis laenab tööstuslikest, “plastikust” muusikavooludest – K-popist 1990-ndate eurotümakani. Kontsertidel toetab seda tehisarulik üleküllus ja liialdatud kämp-esteetika, mis asendab grupi tavapärast totalitaar-militaristlikku imagot. Oodata on suurejoonelist ja vastuolulist, ühtaegu totaalselt korrastatud ja anarhistlikku etendust neoonroosas, mis pole Laibachi käes midagi muud kui uus must. Laibach laval ei ole pelgalt kontsert, vaid rituaal.

Kontserdikülastajad on ühismeedias kirjeldanud möödunud nädalal Austrias Grazis alanud Euroopa tuuri kontserdikava kui “visuaalset täistabamust“ ja “neoonroosat multimeedia-unenägu“. Eraldi tõstetakse esile laulja Milan Frasi provokatiivselt punaseid huuli lugu “Fluid Emancipation“ esitades.
