Kosovo Clubbing

It’s a sad time for the world of electronic music as we say goodbye to DJ Randall, one of the true pioneers of drum 'n' bass and jungle. Randall was more than just a DJ; he was a legend who helped shape the sound that so many of us love today. He passed away at the age of 54, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered forever. DJ Randall was often called the godfather of breakbeat because of his incredible influence on the genre. He wasn’t just spinning records; he was crafting an entirely new sound that would revolutionize the music scene. Alongside other legends like Fabio and Grooverider, Randall’s innovative techniques pushed jungle music into the spotlight during the 90s. His love for music started when he was just a teenager. He was obsessed with vinyls and turntables, always looking for that perfect beat. His first big break came at the Notting Hill Carnival in 1987, where he performed at an acid house party. From there, he went on to create his unique hardcore-brea...

Written by: Saranda Vraniqi Exit , now world-renowned, held its 24th festival this year.   This article won't cover who performed or how many awards the festival has garnered so far. You can find all that on Exit's official website.  Instead, I'll try to paint a picture of one evening/night at the festival from my perspective —how the eyes, soul, and other senses of a long-time clubber (and journalist) experienced one of my favorite festivals. To better understand why you might consider my opinion on the festival, I'll share a bit about myself. I'm 45 years old and have been a clubber since I was two. It sounds surreal, but it's my truth . My love for music and dancing started on my dad's lap as he bounced me to the rhythm of the music. My dad, who deserves his own novel (which I won't write now), took me with him to discos and cafes like a little sidekick. By the age of four, people recognized me on the street as the "little girl from the disco....

Presale tickets for this event were 3 euro and 4 euro if you bought them at the door. DNB-KS was the organizer. This was the third big event they organized. Before that, they brought Big Bud from London and DJ Lynx also from London, and now Black Sun Empire from Holland.  ODA is a great underground place, at least I like it, it’s totally my type of place. It’s in the center of the city, it’s underground, secluded, you don’t bother anyone. There’s a bar at the entrance, and after that a great spacious room, with a great stage and on both sides there are steps, where you can easily sit down and not bother anyone. And the sound system is good too. Labinot Sponca (a local DJ) was the warm up act. What did he spin? DnB. And I love everything that shakes you up and carries your entire body. All the way till Black Sun Empire started my group of friends was jumping. Even one of our friends who didn’t expect that we’d take her drumming, and she too jumped and shook all the time....
