Kosovo Clubbing

Laurent Garnier – Photo credits: Instagram @ftphlame French techno legend Laurent Garnier just said something important: He’s done playing at big festivals . From now on, he’ll only play at small clubs that keep the real underground spirit alive. “I don’t want to be a dusty jukebox,” he said in an interview. “Nightlife is for the youth.” Garnier wants to do only 10 shows per year , but only in places that feel true to the music and the culture. 🔥 He says: “This music came from clubs. We haven’t forgotten where we came from.” Respect, Laurent! 🙌 Even though he's stepping back, he still has a few shows left this year in places like Japan, Portugal , and around Europe . [source]

If you're into electronic music, then there's one name you need to know: Kraftwerk . The documentary “Kraftwerk, The Godfathers of Electronic Music” is a must-watch for every fan of house, techno, synthwave, and even hip-hop. These four guys from Germany changed the world of music forever — and they did it with machines. Foto: Jim Dyson Back in the '70s and '80s, Kraftwerk created a brand-new sound using synthesizers, drum machines, and computers. It was something no one had heard before. That sound became the base for so many music genres we listen to today. Without Kraftwerk, there might be no Daft Punk , no Chemical Brothers , no Underworld , and maybe not even techno as we know it. Their album “Computer World” was a huge influence. Big names like David Bowie , Juan Atkins , and Larry Heard looked up to them. Detroit techno legends called Kraftwerk their inspiration, showing how deep their impact went. But Kraftwerk didn’t just shape techno and house. Their tr...

Kosovo Clubbing shares a cool throwback to a special movie called “Chilling” , which first aired on Christmas Day in 1990 on Channel 4 in the UK.  This 30-minute documentary was one of the first to truly show what partying on Ibiza looked like during the late '80s and early '90s, in the time of the third “Summer of Love.” The film was made with help from DJ and promoter Charlie Chester , and it reached over 13 million viewers when it aired on Boxing Day 1990 ! “Chilling” inspired and educated a whole new group of party lovers, DJs, and music producers . The soundtrack is packed with amazing sounds like Balearic beat, acid house, early house, and chillout music . It takes us back to the real sound of Ibiza , with scenes from famous clubs like Ku (now Privilege), Amnesia, and Pacha . You can see people dancing outdoors, smiling, and losing themselves in the music. But “Chilling” isn’t just about the music – it also shows the spirit of that time . Through interviews with D...
