High-Strength “Maybach” Ecstasy Alert

Health and harm-reduction organizations have issued a serious warning about a high-strength ecstasy tablet currently circulating in the region. The purple “Maybach” pill, recently purchased in Zagreb and laboratory-tested on January 16, 2026 , was found to contain 208 mg of MDMA —well above the average concentration. The analysis was shared by Slovenia-based DrogArt with Croatia’s HZJZ , alongside Porat , prompting an urgent public alert.

Bandcamp Fridays: A Vital Moment for Independent Music — And for Kosovo’s Scene

 Since its inception in 2020, Bandcamp Fridays has become one of the most significant annual traditions in the independent music world. What began as a response to global lockdowns has evolved into a powerful mechanism that gives music creators agency over their work and income — and in 2026 the initiative is expanding, offering eight fee-free days for artists and labels around the world. On each Bandcamp Friday — including the dates scheduled for February 6, March 6, May 1, August 7, September 4, October 2, November 6, and December 4, 2026 — Bandcamp waives all revenue share typically taken on sales. That means 100 % of the sale price goes directly to the artist or label, a rare exception in an industry where streaming royalties often fall far short of sustainable earnings. Over the years, Bandcamp Fridays have generated well over $150 million directly for independent musicians and labels, and they continue to be a clear reminder of the power fans have when they choose to su...
