Many know Dave Clarke as the Baron of Techno, but with his ever expanding encyclopedia on everything dance related, he is also the Lord of Electro, with his popular ‘Whip It’ night being one of his most recent endeavors. Whip It proved just how irresistible the electro genre can be, so watch out for that ADE line up announcement. Headlining this edition of Dave Clarke Presents is Sam Paganini, who built his name in the underground circuit and will

Kosovo's No.1 tech house artist, Sabb is about to launch his new record label/first album, both named “Radiant”  After years of DJing almost all over the world and releasing singles, EP’s and remixes, in many various and well-known record labels of the Electronic Music Industry, incl. his previous record label,  SK Supreme Records ,  Sabb , marks his 10 year anniversary with his debut album, " Radiant " , coming out on APR. 6, 2018, on his new record label  Radiant . The album consists 8 tracks and will be released on a double 12” vinyl and of course, in digital format. Due to his craving for dispersing distinctive music all over the world,  Sabb  designed  Radiant  to be more than just an ordinary record label therefore, last year (December 31, 2017), he launched the very first “ Radiant ” event, in collaboration with  Space Monki , where he hosted  Nick Curly ,  Anthik ,  Murciano ,  Marco Capone ,  David Aurel ,  Nukem , Kantarik and Ceyen.

The night of MAR. 2, 2018, a once in a lifetime techno experience photo credit:  Adi Beqiri Everything was ready at the abandoned/former Rilindja Printing House, for the 9th Edition of Rilindja Warehouse, and so were we.  That night  we  went to the venue at 10:00 PM. While waiting outside for the doors to open,  we met a clique of techno/rave  enthusiasts from  Prishtina , who we started a conversation with, and asked us if we attended previous Editions of Rilindja Warehouse, as they told us: "This is our first time attending Rilindja Warehouse, so we would like to know what's the events are like here" So,  we  continued our conversation about the event we were about to attend in 30 minutes/ Hapësira  and we told them about the "Rilindja Warehouse" editions we attended in the past. We also informed them about  Hapësira 's concept of presenting techno artists who are actually growing further, to make them famous, and how it's aimin

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,

                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

             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

After a 14 year hiatus, techno and electronic music icon  Dave Clarke  releases his third full length album this month, entitled 'The Desecration of Desire'. After teasing us with the fantastic first single ‘Charcoal Eyes (Glass Tears)’ featuring Mark Lanegan which received support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and club plays from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Len Faki, Nicole Moudeber, Marcel Dettmann etc, the long-time pioneer once again showcases his studio skills and musical vision across 10 tracks that go well beyond the dance floor. Over the last three decades,  Clarke  has proved a singular voice in the underground dance world. As well as turning out essential tracks such as his famous Red Series, he has also hosted his influential White Noise radio show, which has just surpassed 600 episodes and remixed an array of artists including Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers, A Place To Bury Strangers, Placebo, Underworld and Soft Moon. The Desecration o

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

An unforgettable event that will remain forever in our/Kosovo’s clubbers minds & in Kosovo’s Electronic music events history!  September 15,  Next Level  hosted a proper techno night with nowadays  Techno Lady - Rebekah , Rinia Rinia from Macedonia,  Toton ,  Vegim  &  Flekitza  - local support, from Prishtina, on the occasion of it’s 11th anniversary. The event took place at  Teatri ODA  - a private theatre in Prishtina. We went there around 11:00 PM, while Rinia Rinia from Skopje, was opening the night, with his tech house set, until around 00:30 AM. Afterwards,   Toton , took care of warming up the audience for   Rebekah’s  “ Live Hybrid Set ”, with his tech house/techno set. People were so warmed up for Rebekah! Very good set by   Toton ! Rebekah played a   “Live Hybrid”   techno set from 2:30 AM until 4:30 PM.   Rebekah’s “Live Hybrid Set”   was beyond perfect! She was 4 deck mixing, all the time, so maybe some of you can say it was so confusing, with
