Kosovo Clubbing

We love discovering and supporting people who truly get the spirit of club culture — and Arlinda Ramadani is exactly that.  A longtime clubber with deep roots in the local scene, she writes with heart, honesty, and a dose of nostalgia that feels like home to anyone who’s spent nights dancing under strobe lights in Prishtina and beyond. On her Substack page, Arlinda doesn't flood the feed with constant posts — and that’s part of the charm. When she writes, it’s meaningful. Whether she’s sharing reflections on the past, thoughts on nightlife, or simply observing the changing energy of the electronic scene, her voice stands out. We’re big fans of people who take time to document our culture in ways that feel real.  So if you care about the music, the movement, and the memories — follow Arlinda.  Let’s lift each other up and make space for more local stories to be heard. Big love, 🖤 The Kosovo Clubbing Team

Foto: Keffer In a bold and thought-provoking new release, "Techno is Boring", acclaimed DJ/producer Daniel Avery and photographer Keffer invite readers to rethink what techno truly means.  Far from being dull, the book argues that techno’s repetition is its greatest strength—opening space for emotional depth, meditation, and connection between DJ, audience, and sound.  Avery explains that the repetitive nature of techno is not a flaw, but the core of the genre, creating a powerful and intimate sonic journey. Keffer’s atmospheric photography—shot between 2013 and 2024—adds a visual narrative, capturing the mystical, raw energy of techno spaces. Beyond music, the book critiques the commercialization of techno festivals, urging a return to authenticity and creative freedom. Techno is Boring ultimately suggests that techno is not just a genre, but a **lifestyle, spiritual experience**, and a form of resistance. Limited to 1,000 copies, this 144-page softcover edition is availa...

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...
