Kosovo Clubbing

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. According to DrogArt, this level of MDMA significantly increases the risk of negative effects and medical complications. Why this matter Doses around 200 mg or more can represent at least a double dose for many people, sharply raising the likelihood of harm. Reported risks include nausea, vomiting, headaches, anxiety and panic attacks, high blood pressure, excessive sweating, seizures, movement disorders, dangerously high body temperature, loss of consciousness, cerebral edema, and even stroke or heart attack. Important note: MDMA content liste...

 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...

 Electronic music lovers across the region have been met with surprising but carefully explained news — one of Croatia’s most well-known and multi-award-winning festivals, Sonus Croatia , will not take place during the summer of 2026 at Zrće Beach on the island of Pag.

We’ll see you next year.” The festival team thanked the audience for their long-standing support, trust, and patience shown throughout all previous editions.
