1982–1992 The group was formed in 1982, but did not have a steady lineup until the spring of 1983, when keyboardist Matjaž Kosi (formerly of
Martin Krpan), drummer Iztok Turk (formerly of Kuzle and
Otroci Socializma; in the latter band he played guitar), and bass guitarist Janez Križaj (formerly of Otroci Socializma) invited keyboardist Nina Sever and vocalist
Anja Rupel to join the group. Rupel, daughter of flutist and
Ljubljana Academy of Music professor Feđa Rupel and
schlager singer Sonja Berce, was at the time of Videosex formation a high school student and, beside singing in children's choirs and learning to play flute in a
music school, had no previous experience as a performer. The band was named Videosex after the idea of Turk and
Dejan Knez of
Laibach. The songs "Sivi dan" ("Gloomy Day") and
noir-inspired "Tko je zgazio gospođu mjesec" ("Who Ran Over Mrs. Moon") became nationwide hits. The album also featured the song "Pejd' ga pogledat, Anja" ("Go See Him, Anja"), originally written for Otroci Socializma by their frontman Brane Bitenc under the title "Pejd' ga pogledat, Brane" ("Go See Him, Brane"). After the suggestion of
Lačni Franz leader
Zoran Predin, the band recorded the
mini-album Svet je zopet mlad (
The World Is Young Again) with covers of evergreens of the Slovene 1960s pop scene. The recording featured drummer Dadi Krašnar (of
Miladojka Youneed) and the
RTV Ljubljana Dance Orchestra. The album was released in 1987, and brought the hits "Orion" (originally performed by Katja Levstik), "Vozi me vlak v daljave" ("The Train Takes Me Far Away", originally performed by Beti Jurković) and "Zemlja pleše" ("The Earth Is Dancing", originally performed by Marijana Deržaj). In 1987, Rupel starred in
Franci Slak's films
The Felons, and in 1988, she made a guest appearance on the Laibach album
Let It Be, singing lead vocals in their version of "
Across the Universe", also appearing in the song video directed by Boris Miljković and Branko Dimitrijević and aired on
MTV. In 1988, Nina Sever returned to the band, but Križaj stopped being a permanent member, continuing to work with the group in studio only. In 1990, Rupel cooperated with Laibach once again, appearing on the
EP Sympathy for the Devil, singing lead vocals in one of Laibach's versions of "
Sympathy for the Devil". In 1991, the band released their last studio album,
Ljubi in sovraži (
Love and Hate). The album recording featured numerous guest musicians: Andrija Pušić, Dadi Krašnar, drummer Ratko Divjak (formerly of
Time and
September), bass guitarist Jani Hace, guitarist and percussionist Boris Romih (formerly of
Begnagrad), saxophonist Mario Marolt, and others. Part of the album lyrics were taken from an anthology of world
children's poetry. A year after the album release, the band ended their activity.
Post breakup After Videosex disbanded, Rupel continued her career as a solo artist. She has recorded seven pop-oriented solo albums. Most of the songs on the albums were composed by her husband, Aleš Klinar, leader of the band
Agropop, while the lyrics were written by Rupel. She hosted several music shows on Slovene television and radio stations. For her 2016 compilation
Opus she recorded a new version of "Kako bih volio da si tu" with
Psihomodo Pop frontman
Davor Gobac. She cooperated with Klinar's band Rock Partyzani (
Rock Partysans) on their albums, and the two also wrote songs for other performers. Both Turk and Križaj dedicated themselves to music production. Turk produced albums by Laibach and other
alternative acts, while Križaj produced mostly albums by mainstream acts from
Slovenia and
Croatia. In 1998, Turk formed the
house group
Rotor, which featured Pissmakers bass guitarist Jani Hace and drummer Sergej Ranđelović and Miladojka Youneed saxophonist Mario Marolt, releasing two albums with them,
Rotosphere (2000) and
Phonophobia (2005). In Pissmakers Turk played the synthesizer and programmed the
rhythm machine. He was a member of the alternative band 300,000 V.K., described as the "sound division of Laibach kunst". He wrote music for several documentary and short films. Nina Sever worked as a piano teacher for a period of time, and later started working in the
Dallas Records marketing department. In 1997, the double compilation album
Arhiv (
Archive) was released. The album featured songs from all four studio albums, in addition to eight previously unreleased tracks. The unreleased songs were recorded during ten years of the band's career, but had previously remained unreleased as the members had been dissatisfied with them. The compilation included the song "Ti si moja roža" ("You Are My Rose"), originally recorded by the group as their entry for the
Jugovizija contest, but later dropped. In 2019, the band's first album was reissued on vinyl by
Dutch record label Rush Hour. ==Legacy==
