This is where we come from

Urbsounds Collective has roots in punk and DIY movement and was established in 2001 as the outcome of friendship, common interests, shared views and love for music. Since then it has become a platform for exchanging experience and supporting creative and unusual electronic and media events, distributing DIY materials, organizing experimental electronic music events and releasing mostly CD-r recordings.

When it all started

Urbsounds Collective played their first concert in November 2001 at the
Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. From that time on they have been performing at various galleries, clubs and festivals <Digitopia/Slovakia, Multiplace/Slovakia, Next/Slovakia, Alternativa/Czech Republic, Electric Rain/Ireland, Resistance Festival/Great Britain, RX-TX/Slovenia, Grim Electronicittà/France> in Slovakia as well as abroad <Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy,France, Great Britain and Ireland>.

And later on

In 2004 Urbsounds Collective started organizing Sound Laboratories based on the idea of inviting guests for the purpose of spreading new ideas, knowledge and experience in the field of electronic experimental music. Sound Laboratories are still being organized by A4 zero space crew. At the end of 2004 Urbsounds Collective released their first common LP/CD: Urbsounds Collective LP and in 2005 they launched a small free mp3 netlabel to spread experimental electronic music.

On February 2^nd 2005 Urbsounds organized their first Ears Chewing Satisfunction in U-Club Bratislava/Slovakia. Ears Chewing Satisfunction is an international music*not-music showcase to which Urbsounds Collective always invite some international guests.
