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

Vinyl sales have increased 108% in 2021

 Some would say that the gramophone record is a medium of the past, but vinyl is experiencing a real revolution in the 21st century. 


The records experienced the peak of their careers from the 1920s to the 1980s, after which the demand for them suddenly disappeared, due to the appearance of CDs.

Today, many experts and people from the industry claim that gramophone culture has never been completely eradicated, but that its presence has simply been less in certain periods of time. Vinyl has practically never stopped being produced and sold, primarily thanks to DJs and DJ culture.

This boom in sales is an impressive 108% increase in comparison to the same time period in 2020 where 9.2 million vinyl records were sold.

Although Vinyl for the last few years has started to consistently outperform CD sales, which in the first half of 2021 stood at 18.9 million units sold. 

Some of the top-selling vinyl releases of the year include Harry Styles’ ‘Fine Line’, Billie Eilish’s ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ and Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Good Kid M.A.A.D City’. 

Vinyl pressing facilities are currently finding it difficult to keep up with this demand, and there are huge delays for many musicians waiting for their music in this format. 

Streaming remains the most popular way for people to consume music, and in the past 6 months, that has also risen by 15%.

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
