Review: A Night of Unforgettable Beats of Servis & Redo

SERVIS x REDO Night on October 7th at the Palace of Youth was nothing short of spectacular!  The lineup was a blend of talent, each artist delivering a performance that made the audience dance till dawn.  Ece Özel , the headliner, stole the show with her unpredictable set. Her ability to seamlessly transition between tracks and keep the energy pulsating was a testament to her mastery of the craft.  Ali Güney's mixing prowess was on full display, seamlessly weaving beats together and keeping the dance floor alive.  Bernet Branca brought her own brand of energy, infusing the night with sounds that kept everyone grooving.  EPTÁN, the rising star, proved why he's one to watch, delivering a set that showcased his undeniable talent.  The atmosphere was misty , and the crowd's energy was absolutely what we wanted to see on the dancefloor!    Few photos of the night you can see HERE !  And now, the excitement continues!  The next event of Servis will be on November 10th, 2023  S

The Sunny Hill Festival will stay in Pristina

Awesome news! It blew my mind, indeed! 😍 Sunny Hill Music Festival will be held in Pristina from August 4 to 7, although the organizers previously announced that it will be moved to Tirana, and the reason is that they failed to get 17 hectares of land in the Kosovo capital for 99 years.... hmmm I can only say that the Sunny Hill fans are not interested in this at all, because it is only important for us to have cultural events in our city, especially after the years of the pandemic. The Sunny Hill Festival was held in Pristina for the first time in 2018, and then again in 2019. The 2020 edition was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Festival has hosted some of the world's biggest music names, including Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Action Bronson and dozens of other artists.  This edition of the festival will be held in Germia Park. Due to space limitations in Germia Park, Sunny Hill Festival this year will have a limited capacity of partici

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

PARTY REVIEW: Trips & Tics at BASStore Club, Prishtina, KS

Great party at  BASStore Club  on 17th February 2018! Music without exaggeration, objectively speaking, was brutal and concrete. The great techno duo -  Trips & Tics , from  Underground Connection  agency, made the most of it and provided the lovely audience with LOVE & DANCE! photo credit:  Nebojša Cvetković Photography The beautiful club - BASStore, with great sound system and lighting, this time, among 128bpm, shots emotions in such a cruel and tough way. It looked so wonderful for the ears and our bodies that moves in that lively techno rhythm. Techno gives you love! It should have the courage to spin "strong tracks" indoors and make the audience feel comfortable, pleasant and cheerful. Each atom of their dedication to what they do, through music, was radiated to all of us, the audience, who recognized most of the that were chosen and played by  Trips & Tics . It’s nice to feel such good vibrations released by the  techno music  that was going on,

PARTY REVIEW: TKNO at club Basstore, Prishtina, Kosovo

                Pristina is becoming one of the favorite destinations for me!                 If you ask me, why, here's the answer!                 On December 16th, “ Next Level ” organization hosted a very good party at  BASStore club  in Prishtina with one of the most current techno DJs from Serbia,  TKNO !                 Again, a small but selected team of clubbers from Novi Pazar and Pristina gathered at  club Basstore . We got in the club, around 2:30am when  TKNO  already was spinning at dj booth.                 BASStore  is one of the underground club these days. Very good sound system, new one, as far as I could note from the last party, but in my opinion it was too much for that club. The sound was super massive at the dance floor.                Audience at  Basstore Club  that night, was again diverse, which is very interesting for me as a clubber following electronic scene for 20 years. Although, by statistic Kosovo has more women than for men, the boys

PARTY REVIEW: Independence Night with Dj Tennis, David Squillace, Alban Hajdini @ Zone Club, Prishtina, KS

             I was  clubbing in Prishtina  for the first time in 20 years :) I had heard that  clubbing on Kosovo  was very developed and following the world electronic scene. And it was true!              I had the chance to meet and see contemporary cult places of today's underground scene:  Rilindjia ,  Bahnhof ,  BASStore  and all of them have their own story!              But,  Zone Club  is a special place for me! A  club  that is full of emotions and good but odd, energetic. If you are familiar with quality music and all other accompanying elements, in fact, if you're a clubber, then  Zone Club  and its  Electronic Series  is for you!             The first time I visited  Zone Club , last winter, on  December 24th  with  Nastia  and  Hajdar Berisha ... was amazing!             And ... again I wanted to go back to this club, a club that has this strange, odd energy!             Last night was the night! Actually, the  Electronic Series Night of the Zone club

Review: Premiere | Vegim – Granit EP [TMM Records]

TMMR 210 , the next release from  Take More Music Records  features 4 original primetime techno cuts from the artist known as  Vegim . Bursting with energy and dynamics,  TMMR 210  showcases  Vegim’s  diverse and constantly evolving unique techno sound. Inaugurating this interstellar journey with  Absolutely Shifted , the first techno track on the release introduces a deep bass driven soundscape with superbly crafted percussions combined with extra-terrestrial melodies that immediately absorbs your attention. Adjusting route on this interstellar highway,  Distorted Key  changes direction by means of prefacing a drop beat bit crushed rhythm with a prominent throbbing bass, loaded with crisp percussions and interjected with the subtle inclusion of intercepted alien transmissions which add pace and urgency to the track. x Altering course once again,  Granit  delivers a solid 4 to the floor groove with elegant percussions fused with an eerie and interga

RA reviews: Vegim ‎- 'Breaking Point' [TMM records]

The last few years have seen a few regions outside Europe's main clubbing centres become hotspots for purist sounds. There's  Tbilisi , led by Bassiani, pushing no-nonsense techno. Then there's  Montevideo , with Phonotheque and its expert residents who spin electro, house and minimal. Thanks to Closer, you'll also find plenty of killer minimal in Kiev. And if  Vegim's   ' Breaking Point ' is anything to go by, there could be a scene brewing in Kosovo. A student of deep sounds,  Vegim's  output recalls the burrowing aesthetic of labels like Prologue, Semantica and Mote-Evolver, where steady groove meets precision synths and an ethereal touch. Vegim  covers an impressive range across  Breaking Point 's 15 tracks . It's grounded in club-ready techno, with beats that vary from straight and jacking to broken and complex, peppered with the kind of subtle acidic flourishes perfected by artists such as Donato Dozzy and Luke Slater. The track titl

A Belgian Impression of Next level's 11th Anniversary with Rebekah!

Photo credit to  Petrit Rrahmani            After a long journey through Europe, we entered Kosovo. We decided to stop at the capital of Kosovo - Pristina. Surprisingly, we found out about  Next Level’s  “11th Anniversary” Event with the UK-born/Berlin-based DJ -  Rebekah . We decided to attend the event.            That night, the host -  Next level, celebrated it’s 11th anniversary , and hellboy, they know how to do it!!! When we entered the venue (ODA Theatre - in the center of Prishtina), we were welcomed by heavy Techno beats and a large LED video wall. Visualisation was so great and powerful! "Kosovo is on the top of techno scene and they really have very good clubbing life.               We were amazed and shocked, in a positive way of course, as this party was all you want for a night out! The 11 years of experience of “ Next leve l”, certainly showed us how the Electronic Music Scene in Kosovo is growing, in fact, the Techno scene, what we wouldn’t

Eelke Kleijn @ Full House Club, Prishtina, Kosovo

Eelke is not my sound, but I had fun!  Eelke Kleijn was supposed to fly in on April 17 th , but that party didn’t happen that night (because of all the flights being postponed due to the volcano ash cloud, remember that…), nor did it happen in the announced location. It all happened on May 7 th , 2010 at the just opened club, that has a massive sound system, “the new player in town” FULL HOUSE – and as the name of the club indicates, it was full that night. You can see photos  HERE. Eelke is not my sound, but i had fun! 

Steve Lawler @ Spray Club, Prishtina, Kosovo

Before this party (Eelke Kleijn 7th may) there was another one in the  Spray club. You can listen to a short interview and the announcement for the party  HERE. People who went say it was really good, but not great. And that same night I was at  underGRAND , where  Vegim  was spinning, and the people were more concentrated on dancing than the tracks. Hmmm… I guess the tracks made them dance, no?!  

Black Sun Empire @ ODA, Prishtina, Kosovo

Presale tickets for this event were 3 euro and 4 euro if you bought them at the door. DNB-KS was the organizer. This was the third big event they organized. Before that, they brought Big Bud from London and DJ Lynx also from London, and now Black Sun Empire from Holland.  ODA is a great underground place, at least I like it, it’s totally my type of place. It’s in the center of the city, it’s underground, secluded, you don’t bother anyone. There’s a bar at the entrance, and after that a great spacious room, with a great stage and on both sides there are steps, where you can easily sit down and not bother anyone. And the sound system is good too. Labinot Sponca (a local DJ) was the warm up act. What did he spin? DnB. And I love everything that shakes you up and carries your entire body. All the way till Black Sun Empire started my group of friends was jumping. Even one of our friends who didn’t expect that we’d take her drumming, and she too jumped and shook all the time.  And
