Deca Loših Muzičara (Serbian Cyrillic: Деца Лоших Музичара; trans. Bad Musicians' Children), often abbreviated to DLM, are a rock band from Belgrade, Serbia. They were one of most perspective Serbian bands from the early 1990s, with several notable hits, but intermittent album releases and uneven activity levels somewhat spoiled their career. Most DLM's songs are fast and furious funk, but melodic, adored by trumpet and saxophone lines.
DLM formed in 1988 by Jova Jović (guitar), Aleksandar Siljanovski Silja (vocals), Vladan Miljković Milje (saxophone), Zoran Milivojević Mikac (drums), Zoran Živković (bass), Đorđe Anđelić Kića (trumpet) and Ivan Blagojević Uške (trumpet).

The recording of the band's debut album Dobar dan, produced by Vlada Žeželj, was finished in early 1992, but it was a year later that the album was released. Influenced by the, at the time popular, American rock sound and colored with brass sections, with the prominent songs "Kreditna kartica", which partially features lyrics in Slovene language as Siljanovski spoke the language, "Zeka", "Ljubomora" and "Mara", provided the band's growing popularity. The album also featured two bonus tracks, "Ja sam tvoj čovek" and "Njena je, njena je". The band also represented Yugoslavia at the Music Days festival held at Strasbourg. In the meantime, the band's brass section started recording and performing with the oi! punk rock band Direktori. The band also appeared in the Srđan Dragojević movie Dva sata kvalitetnog TV programa performing a cover version of Metak song "Da mi je biti morski pas".
The second album, Prolećni dan, accompanied with songs "Vlade Divac", devoted to the famous basketball player, "Konji ritma" and the title track became essential part of the band's live performances. The song "Ubiše Pabla" featured improvised lyrics in Spanish language. The album was produced by the band themselves, and as guests on the album appeared Puroni on percussion and Dež Molnar on saxophone.

The album featured only two songs, "Ljubav", featuring lead vocals by the starring actor Ivan Jevtović, and "Dezodorans", and the rest of the released material consisted of instrumental tracks, including a cover version of a theme Maurice Ravel's Boléro.
