LEELOOJAMAIS_HISTORY 2001-2006
Perfect musical style, MTV EMA 2005 and 2008 NOMINEE for "Best act on MTV Adria", record of the year 2004 and one of the top live acts of our time!
Leeloojamais errupted onto the Slovenian music scene in 2001 as bright shining stars with there debut album 'Pod vplivom' ('Under influence').
At this time the quartet, along with the unique voice of singer Lara Love and the rich flavor of saxophones and keyboards was different from anything that Slovenia had ever heard before. This unpredictable fusion of jazz, rock, pop and funk music left the sceptics in agreement that Slovenia finally had a great mainstream band. From this beginning it was known that Leeloojamais live performances were something regarded as a 'must see'.
Their second record 'Nextasy' was created and recorded in their home studio 'Stala'. One of the biggest Slovenian hits of the year 2004, which was also seen in MTV's show 'World Chart Express', is entitled 'Ne zameri mi' ('Free') and in which Leeloojamais worked with hip-hop artist Lord Lefty from Netherlands.
Rok Lopatic, master of keyboards in the group, along with other two members of Club & Vehicle production team Ivo & Lovro, were responsible for a very fresh and modern production sound on Nextasy' back then.
The result for all the hard work and musical talent, mixed with imagination has recieved two awards in Slovenia. Album 'Nextasy' was also awarded as a 'Record of the year 2004' by music journalists, radio editors. The song 'Ne zameri mi' was announced as 'The best POP song of 2004' for Slovenian Radio Festival (SRF04) in Maribor in the beginning of March 2005. Leeloojamais even earned a nomination for MTV EMA as "Best act on MTV Adria".
The wonderful fusion of jazz, funk, hip-hop and r'n'b on the 'Nextasy' record finally convinced not only the critics and music colleagues, but also Leeloojamais fans who were absolutely thrilled about the modern and urban sound of the band.
As Club & Vehicle production team they also produced great material for other artists in Slovenia and ex-YU countries such as, E.N.I., Nina Osenar. Year 2008 brought them another nomination in Croatia - an music award "PORIN 2008" for the best pop album production for the group called "E.N.I.".
