{{Teaser|
''[[HRUPmag.com]]'', and its English editions known as '''Hrup Means Noise''', is a Ljubljana-based daily online publication devoted to music news, commentary, reviews, artist interviews, video production and event management. Its focus is on independent, alternative music. However, the range of musical genres covered also extends to pop, hip-hop, rock, noise, jazz, experimental, and various forms of electronic music.

Currently, due to an attack on their website, HRUPmag lives a Facebook-only existence, a situation due to be remedied some time soon. 

{{YouTube|1GG4vyDLlKQ}} ''Music Don't Cost a Dime (Slovenian: ''Muzika je džabe''), Hrupmag's full-length documentary portraying and problematising the phenomena of free concerts on the local music scene.''

== Inception ==
''Hrupmag'' was launched by members of [[Specialka]] team in 2012. Its editorial also includes journalists of the now defunct RSQ Magazine which was one of the first Slovene music webzines. The site mostly features new music and current trends but is also devoted to acquainting its readers with notable older music and music-related phenomena in a section titled "Everyone Should Be Familiar With" (''Vsi bi morali poznati'' in Slovenian). The magazine was established as an online medium and is notable for its up-to-date coverage of local and international music news, prompt response to trending events in the music world, concise reviews of music events and albums, and it also delivers critical commentary on all aspects of the music scene. The ''Hrupmag'' team consists of 5 daily editors, 5 Hrup TV staff members and at least 8 permanent correspondents at any time. 

== Endeavours ==
''Hrupmag'' team are active participants and contributors to the local music scene in Ljubljana. In addition to the abundance of daily news, reviews and commentary featured in their online magazine, they also manage and produce audio-visual content for Hrup TV, produce music videos, tackle topical issues and organise events.

In 2013, ''Hrupmag'' produced ''Music Don't Cost a Dime (Muzika je džabe)'', a full-length documentary dealing with the topic of free concerts in Slovenia which received many favourable reviews and was showcased and screened at the [[Festival of Slovenian Film]]. That same year ''Hrupmag'' also linked up with ''The Guardian'' where in turn some Slovene music acts ([[Kleemar]], [[It's Everyone Else]], [[N'Toko]]), were featured in the "Must-listen tracks from around the world" column.

"Hrup Nights" are another one of ''Hrupmag'''s concert ventures. Hrup Nights are sporadic concert events that ensue every now and then under the ''Hrupmag'' patronage. Hrup Nights have so far been headlined by bands such as Liars, Kvelertak, Child Abuse, and Mozes and the Firstborn.



===Specialka projects===

''Hrupmag'''s editorial staff overlaps with [[Specialka]] event organising team. In September 2011, Specialka decided to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Nirvana's ''Nevermind'' album. "Nevermind: 20 Years" was an event held at [[Gala Hala]] summer stage. It featured 13 Slovene bands/musicians influenced by Nirvana who each covered one of the 13 songs on ''Nevermind'' and also played two of their own songs. 

In 2012, Specialka set up for an extraordinary event titled [[24 Hour Party People]] (taken from the 2002 movie with the same title). The event took place at [[Klub Channel Zero]], featured 24 local bands that played for 24 hours and was once again successfully repeated in 2014. ''Hrupmag'' and Specialka squad, respectively, are also responsible for ''Dvatisoč'' (Two Thousand) concert string. ''Dvatisoč'' is an annual event, usually held in December. It aims to expose local bands that jolted the music scene in the year in question.
