Under the pseudonym SBO hides the original Slovenian name of the band – Smrt boga in otrok (which means Death of God and Children) – which resonated on the Slovenian scene along with the global popularisation of trap. After a series of post-factual feats, internet hits and appearances on the bizarre scale of Slovenian YouTube with songs such as "Guys are Cunts", "Sara Bezovšek", "Says L", "S*** Cock", they released their first mixtape album in collaboration with the duo AMN (Heroine: Tracks of Love 2017). On 14 March 2021, they released their first official full-length – and long-awaited – album titled TRANS. The release of the album was accompanied by a video of the opening track "Ljubljana is Berlin", in which a montage implosion takes place through a tribute to iconic Slovenian music videos, transforming dodgy dudes into the frontmen of Slovenian pop. Through the flow of 14 compositions, the Ljubljana experimenters consider themselves children of the Slovenian political transition, thus marking their own turn from the controversy of trap to the introspection of garage, house and electro.

"Trance/Trans, then, is a state that lasts and requires us as a whole, as a synthetic climax, as a constant change, as the fluidity of sexuality, as something we may have no control over. The trans is here and we don’t know where we are, we only know from where we’ve come and what we’ve lost along the way."
