Ambassador Award 2023 - KUJU Studio from Kosovo for the "Best Art Production of the Year"

The UK faced an invasion of illegal raves last weekend

About six thousand visitors attended the illegal raves in the Greater Manchester region. 


Police said they were met with violence and pelted with objects when they tried to shut down one of the mass gatherings. 

Chris Sykes, an assistant chief constable at Greater Manchester police, said: 

“These raves were illegal and I condemn them taking place – they were clearly a breach of coronavirus legislation and guidelines, and have had tragic consequences.” 

It came as police forces across Britain faced one of their busiest weekends since the lockdown began in March. Police were called to similar mass gatherings in Leeds and Staffordshire on Saturday night, while many forces dealt with confrontations between anti-racism protesters and the far right during the day. 

Sykes added: “Our top priority will always be the safety of the public, who we are here to serve and protect. We hope the public can recognize the challenges we are facing at the moment and our communities join together in doing the right thing by following the government guidelines. 

Angela Rayner, the deputy Labour leader, who was volunteering for a local charity that was called to the rave in Oldham, described the partygoers as “completely irresponsible” and said they were putting themselves and their loved ones at risk. 

Staffordshire police said its officers shut down an outdoor music event after a 999 call reported dozens of people in attendance in the village of Whittington, near Lichfield, on Saturday night. 

Birmingham Live reported 500 people had attended the rave, some from as far away as Manchester.
Police said one of its officers was attacked and a partygoer was arrested for drug-driving. 



Pictures showed beer bottles and nitrous oxide canisters strewn over the usually picturesque woodland. 

In Leeds, police were called to an illegal gathering where hundreds of people in cars had gathered around a supermarket car park in the suburb of Alwoodley. Residents complained to West Yorkshire police after roads became blocked with cars trying to get into the Sainsbury’s car park in Moor Allerton centre on Saturday night.

Well, let's make a rave, illegal or legal one and clean :D 
 
Rave safe!

Movie - "Free Tekno" - world travelers who organize illegal parties in the forests

Free Tekno is a journey into the true underground of illegal underground techno festivals in Central Europe. The director travels with a group of Dutch and Irish young men who organize  illegal rave parties  in the forests of  Germany  and the  Czech  Republic. This is called the  underground   that is often written or referred to, but we rarely see it. As one interviewee puts it:   "We don't want money to profit, we do this out of love and be at a positive zero; if we make money, we use the money for travel or vacation expenses." "How many  parties  like this are made in which we are at all times exposed to the police shutting down music and confiscating equipment, but when you live for  electronic  music and have  enthusiasm , you do not think about blue caps" -  a director with Gunnar Hauth.

Tillt Radio Record Store, Prishtina, Kosovo

Tillt Radio  is a new record store in Prishtina, opened 1 year ago. Located at BOHO in Prishtina's square, Tillt Radio record store is a very  warm place  where you can go  hang out , dig the crates for  vinyls  and enjoy  listening to music.  A while ago, I took a trip to Prishtina to meet a friend and surprise her with a vinyl from her favorite label, Klockworks I got for her birthday. That day was all about music and vinyls so, while i was there, i decided to go and visit Tillt Radio record store. I was very happy and excited for visiting the first record store in my life . I've bought vinyls before, from online record stores, but crate digging for vinyls, is a different feeling. There's nothing like crate digging! We needed a record store like Tillt Radio. I went there around 4 PM. I met Strella. He informed me about his record store and the genres he provides. There were various genres from pop, rock, blues to old electronic music. You can find some of the best
