Beogradski bend KOIKOI posljednjih je godina izrastao u jedno od zapaženijih imena regionalne alternativne scene. Njihov zvuk kreće se između psych-rocka, post-punka i elektronike. Debitantski album Pozivi u stranu otvorio im je vrata europske scene: odsvirali su više od 150 koncerata u 18 zemalja, bili nominirani za Music Moves Europe Award 2023. te nastupili na Eurosonicu, Reeperbahnu, Europavoxu, Fusionu, INmusicu, Exitu i Arsenalu.
Tijekom 2025. nastupili su na Waves Vienna, SoAlive i SHIP festivalu te bili predgrupa Fontaines D.C.-u u Beogradu. Rolling Stone UK opisao ih je kao „srpske psych-rockere čija je zvučna snaga opipljiva, s elektrizirajućim zvukom i potpuno nabijenom koncertnom energijom”. Album O sreći u snovima, objavljen u studenome 2025., predstavljen je i na KEXP-u te je osvojio dvije nagrade za album godine na Balkanu.
IDEM je u kratkom vremenu postao jedno od zapaženijih novih imena domaće nezavisne scene, s publikom koja ga prati po klubovima i festivalima diljem regije. Dvodnevna rasprodana koncertna promocija albuma CIAO u zagrebačkoj Tvornici kulture i Boogaloou, Porin za novog izvođača godine i šest nagrada Rock&Off potvrđuju koliko je brzo projekt prerastao početni hype.
Iza IDEM-a stoji Antun Aleksa, trombonist bendova Porto Morto i JeboTon Ensambl te gitarist i pjevač benda Trophy Jump. Antun se kroz pjesme s gorko-slatkom notom dotiče svih tema koje su mu važne, a koje su zamišljene kao hitovi prije svega za samog autora, a zatim potencijalno i za širu publiku. U nešto više od dvije godine IDEM je objavio deset singlova i dva albuma, poyy i CIAO, te izgradio prepoznatljiv autorski potpis koji jednako dobro funkcionira na albumu i uživo.

Belgrade band KOIKOI have become one of the more prominent names on the regional alternative scene in recent years. Their sound moves between psych-rock, post-punk and electronic music. Their debut album Pozivi u stranu opened the door to the European scene: they have played more than 150 shows across 18 countries, were nominated for the 2023 Music Moves Europe Award, and performed at Eurosonic, Reeperbahn, Europavox, Fusion, INmusic, Exit and Arsenal.
In 2025, they appeared at Waves Vienna, SoAlive and SHIP Festival, and supported Fontaines D.C. in Belgrade. Rolling Stone UK described them as “Serbian psych-rockers whose sonic power is palpable, with an electrifying sound and fully charged live energy.” Their album O sreći u snovima, released in November 2025, was also featured on KEXP and went on to win two Balkan Album of the Year awards.
IDEM quickly became one of the most prominent new names on Croatia’s independent music scene, building a loyal audience across clubs and festivals throughout the region. A two-night sold-out album launch for CIAO at Zagreb’s Tvornica kulture and Boogaloo, a Porin Award for Best New Artist, and six Rock&Off awards all testify to how rapidly the project grew beyond its initial hype.
Behind IDEM is Antun Aleksa, trombonist of Porto Morto and JeboTon Ensambl, as well as guitarist and vocalist of Trophy Jump. Through bittersweet songs, Antun writes about the things that matter to him, imagining them first and foremost as hits for himself, and only then, potentially, for a wider audience.
In just over two years, IDEM has released ten singles and two albums, poyy and CIAO, developing a distinctive songwriting voice that works equally well on record and live.
