Since the founding of Metelkova mesto (1993), the Mreža cultural and artistic association has been striving to improve the infrastructural and production conditions on Ljubljana's independent cultural and artistic scene. The KUD Mreža association performed a concert cycle of freely improvised music and free jazz, Jazz at the Trough, between 2007 and 2015 at the Menza pri Koritu cultural and youth center. In 2016, such music was renamed FriForma, the emphasis remains on freely improvised music, whose program is curated by Nataša Serec and László Juhász. FriForma concert events take place at various venues in Ljubljana. The Jazz at the Trough cycle has in the past hosted artists such as Marc Ribot, Tristan Honsinger, Linda Sharrock, Keith Rowe, Martin Küchen, Seijiro Murayama and Kazutoki Umezu. Since 2016, FriForma has collaborated with the following music creators: Taku Sugimoto, John Butcher, Rie Nakajima, Alex Ward, Carl Ludwig Hübsch, Jean-Luc Guionnet and Seymour Wright. FriForma has established numerous international collaborations between local and guest musicians, which is one of the biggest contributions. FriForm's concert cycle is complemented by Metabonmaj, a cycle for classical stage and contemporary composed music, curated by Jože Bogolin and Simon Klavžar. Andrea Centazzo, Mate Bekavac, Bruce Hamilton, Marko Hatlak, Valentine Collet, saxophone quartet 4 Saxess and percussion duo Drumartica are music performers who have performed as part of Metabonmaj since 2014. The cycle of concert events takes place exclusively in Klub Gromka, where classical composed music is rarely presented.

Kühlschrank is a solo project by Simon Fuga, who released the album Konec nekega obdobja last autumn, featuring 13 songs created over the past decade. His music blends storytelling in the style of Interpol with intimate lyrical reflections on relationships, space, and time. The sound is based on acoustic guitar and 90s aesthetics, influenced by britpop, The Smiths, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, and David Bowie. Kühlschrank remains true to introspective and melancholic musical poetics.
