LOC NEWS: Ray Okpara Returns to Prishtina — PriBeats Episode 27 Is the Seven-Hour Trip You Cannot Miss

Spring has barely stretched its legs across the Balkans, and PriBeats is already setting the temperature rising. For the 27th episode of their celebrated series, Kosovo's most consistent underground electronic music platform is bringing back Germany's Ray Okpara — and the Kosovo Clubbing team will say it upfront: this one is non-negotiable.

 

Those who made it to PriBeats' rooftop party at Derand Hotel will remember what Okpara is capable of — a gargantuan six-hour set from sunset to midnight that held the dancefloor in an iron grip. Nobody's plans for the following morning survived. 

This April 4th, the format changes: he steps in at 23:00 and pilots four hours of after-midnight depth until 03:00, followed by PriBeats head Leke closing the night with three hours of his own.

What makes this pairing even more compelling is that it marks the third time the duo play together — the previous two occasions unfolding at Club der Visionaere and Renate Club in Berlin. 

With releases on Oslo, Cécille Records, Mobilee, Saved Records, Deep Vibes, Soweso, and his own AMA Recordings — and nearly two decades of touring from Colombia to Japan — Ray Okpara isn't a guest. He's an institution.

Seven hours. Two artists. One dancefloor at Edhe. April 4th.


Supported by Win Music Freedom, TEB Starcard, Red Bull, Ipko, Super Bock Beer. In partnership with Edhe & PriFest.
