Bio

Meowlau X Val, a dynamic dnb&pop duo, burst onto the Slovak music scene in 2022 with their debut EP „Nevermind”, garnering attention from festivals and audiences. In 2023, their follow-up EP „Daydream“ led to a standout performance at Pohoda festival for 6,000 attendees. The duo, Meowlau (Laura Jašková) and Val (Valentina Vlková), backed by drummer Vladoš Paška, create immersive atmospheres with energetic beats and English lyrics. By 2024, they gained recognition at Eurosonic festival, earned three Radio Head_Awards nominations, and embarked on their first Czechoslovak tour promoting „Daydream“, solidifying their fan base across both countries.

Press quotes

“The frontman duo Laura Jašková (guitar, bass guitar) and Valentina Vlková (vocals), accompanied by drummer Martin Miklis, gave a confident performance and with their live combination of drum&bass and slower electronic surfaces with a pop song form, they had no problem moving the full dance floor. Sovereign and captivating stage performance of both musicians is caused by their frequent concerts not only with the Meowlau x Val project, but also with A-class Slovak bands – in the case of Laura Jašková it is Billy Barman, in the case of Valentína Vlková it is Jana Kirschner. It is only a matter of time when their animal drive with huge potential supported by experience will be noticed by professionals from abroad.”

“Also known as MNAUHAU CAU among music experts... great concert, full tent, it turned out great. Right from the start, it became clear that giving space on big stages in strong times for the domestic scene is a good decision. I only saw the concert on the screen in the office, but we were all amazed... and then there were many enthusiastic comments from people. We know each other well, they play excellently. The band to the pub in Groningen and to the huge stage in Pohoda festival...😊”

“Speaking of the Slovak delegation, it’s more than exciting that the Slovak independent music scene will be represented by women power. The electronic drum ‘n bass and pop duo Meowlau X Val will storm the MAAS venue stage on Thursday.”

“Val’s voice and Meowlau’s bass, that’s the foundation of this project. It seems to be an optimal combination, even though both musicians have already started making their own path on the scene. Electronic and clubby sound doesn’t lack the passion and has a potential to speak to the young (as well as of age) audience via sincere lyrics.”

"Meowlau X Val are in the midst of their refined play on the borderline between breakbeat and pop. Perfect sound engineering enhances everything. The quality is elevated even further when a live bass guitar enters the mix." Dantez - Full Moon Magazine Music Journalist

“The dub & pop project Meowlau x Val was the biggest surprise and my personal discovery of Friday's Pop Messe program. I didn't know them, but I got a recommendation to check them out, so I went to see them... and my jaw dropped. When the trio started their set, I stood there with my mouth open, thinking, "What the hell is this? Is it drum’n’bass? Is it pop? Is it breakbeat? Is it punk?". It's everything. It's based on relentless dance rhythms, strong choruses, and sound experiments. It's full of energy and positivity, it's colorful and playful, and it's fantastic. It was an intense experience. You should check them out sometime.”
