Throughout their ten-year long career, Project Zlust have established themselves as one of the best Macedonian contemporary acoustic bands. From the very beginning, at the moment of their formation in 1998, the group acknowledged their sound, which they have been developing until today, that is a fusion of various styles and genres, starting from jazz and improvisations, contemporary classical music, Balkan folklore in the melodic and especially rhythmical sense, gipsy tunes, tango, wedding traditions... Project Zlust are in fact making a bold comment on the different types of music existing in this region. And such an eclectic approach is not accidental. Its members come from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, reflecting the great diversity in the Balkans. Their work demonstrates not only an influence, but also a great knowledge of their roots, which is further enhanced by their academic musical training. The Zlust’s music is filled with humor, irony and cynicism, and according to them, it is inspired by the fake aesthetic/cultural values present on a global level. The great number of concerts that they have given during the past decade in Macedonia, Balkans, Europe and America, as well as their collaborations with some well-known world and domestic musicians, are all experiences accredited to the music creations of the group. Project Zlust has also provided soundtracks for a lot of theatrical plays and movies. Their performance at OFF-Fest will be the first live promotion of the new album “Incubator”, released by SJF Records.
