Shaping Slovenia’s melodic underground...
Slovenian DJ and promoter Jerpa (Jernej Pavlič) has become a rising force in the melodic and progressive house scene. As co-founder of Sinergia and Flows Festival, he’s helped cultivate a vibrant community that bridges underground sensibilities with the emotional pull of melodic dance music.
His sets—heard at Eclypse, Butik, Soundhitectures, and Magnetik Music, as well as festivals like Castle, Endorphin, and Flows on Ugljan—are crafted as journeys rather than playlists. Inspired by artists like Hernán Cattáneo and Nick Warren, and imprints such as Lost & Found, Vivrant, Soundgarden, and Sudbeat, Jerpa weaves deep, driving rhythms with unapologetically emotive melodies and vocals.
In addition to his work behind the decks at venues like K4, Cvetličarna, Gala Hala, and Zagreb’s Boogaloo, Jerpa extends his passion to the airwaves through @sinergia.flows, a podcast spotlighting melodic and progressive house and techno artists from around the world.
