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

Q&A - Lag [Teskoba, SR]

* Hi Lag, thank you for your time, and for the interview. Can you give us a short introduction to you?  L: Hi, I’m Lag. I’m a Serbian producer of, well, mostly broken techno. I release on MORD, THEM and a few other labels. I also DJ, mostly around Europe, although I just came back from a US tour. Your latest releases on: Mord Records / Unkown Entity / Stale / Soul Notes, were impressive as always.  * What inspires your production?  L: It really varies from track to track. I usually start with a genre or track that I really love and an idea. Most of my original music comes from a concept, a non-musical idea that I want to transfer to the musical form and most of the remixes come from how I've heard the sounds of the original in my head. I sometimes stick hard to what I had envisioned (which often makes the process long and tedious, but pays off in the end) but more often I lay down the original idea and start experimenting, seeing where that takes me.  * What equipment are you cur

Q & A with Artil [Mind+, KS]

* Hi Artil, thank you for your time, for the interview. Can you give us a short introduction to you & Mind+ ?  A: Thank you for inviting me to interview. I found out about electronic music in the early 2000s. For the first time, electronic-underground music here was brought from USA by Baton Domi, who used to be my electronic music lecturer. After a long time, I became interested in producing. In 2014, I launched my own record label (Mind + Records)  mainly focused on house & techno music, influenced by deep, dark & minimal. Mind + Records, it's also meant to be a booking agency for DJ's / Artists. Mind + releases, can be found at all digital stores, like: Beatport, Juno Download, Trackitdown, Itunes, Soundcloud etc.  * Your recent releases, on Mind+, Night and Day Ibiza Music, Patent Skillz, Mask Records, Little Italy Music, were satisfying and unique. What motivates you?  A: My motivation is always linked with my emotional & spiritual state. While producing

Q&A with Anetha [Blocaus, Reclaim Your City]

Anetha presented her music to Pristina clubbers at one of the events that Hapesira is organized, on 16 February 2017. The party was at the perfect location in Prishtina, the former Rilindja printing factory warehouse. This is the place in Kosovo that serves to organize cultural events with electronic music. This is a real rave warehouse. At this fifth event of Hapesira , Anetha performed immediately after the Ukrainian artist Etapp Kyle and played a perfect techno set. It was a pure techno mix with few acid tracks in it. She created perfect energy and was great at playing.  Below is a brief interview with Anetha.  • Hola Anetha, thanks for your time to answer some of our questions and to present you to Kosovo clubbers. Can you give us a short introduction about Blocaus Series?  A: Blocaus series is a French techno label created in 2016, as the next stage in our evolution after four successful years of hosting parties at various venues in Paris. Blocaus series as a record label is a

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
