Kosovo Clubbing

The pulse of Prishtina’s underground culture is about to intensify.  On August 22, 2025, SERVIS , one of Kosovo’s leading independent platforms in electronic music and multidisciplinary art, returns with a powerful open-air gathering: RE\:FORM. More than just another party, RE:FORM invites the community to rethink their landscapes, reimagine their rituals, and reprogram their state of mind. Hosted under the open sky, RE:FORM 2025 offers more than sound — it offers a vision. In the words of SERVIS: "Landscapes are not only shaped by nature, but by the systems we inherit and the rituals we choose to reimagine." This year’s edition comes with a strong message: to "bend the axis" , to carve new frequencies into familiar places, and to reclaim space through collective cadence and care . Early bird tickets for RE\:FORM 2025 are now available for 10€ via the SERVIS web portal. Whether you're a longtime raver, new listener, or curious soul — RE:FORM is your invitat...

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

The highly anticipated film Rave On will premiere on May 15, 2025, at the Cannes Film Market, offering an authentic and immersive look into Berlin's legendary techno scene.  Photo by  Aleksandr Popov  on  Unsplash Directed by Nikias Chryssos and Viktor Jakovleski, the film follows young music producer Kosmo (played by Aaron Altaras) through a transformative night that blurs the lines between reality, sound, and emotion. Shot during real club events in Berlin and featuring artists like Hieroglyphic Being and Lucia Lu, *Rave On* captures the raw energy of underground culture without glamorizing it.  Producer Andro Steinborn calls it “as raw and real as the music itself.” Represented by sales agency The Playmaker, the film aims to connect with a global audience and stand as a powerful, genuine portrait of a generation dancing toward self-discovery through rhythm and night.

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...

There is a brand new and super cool record player called Hotaru , made by Audio-Technica . It’s not just any record player—it floats in the air and lights up ! Yes, you read that right! Hotaru means “firefly” in Japanese, and just like a firefly, it glows in the dark. But what makes it really special is that the top part of the record player levitates (that means it floats!) thanks to magnets . This helps stop vibrations, so your music sounds even better and clearer . The top is made of clear plastic called acrylic , and it has lights inside that can shine in one color , change between 20 different colors , or flash along with the music . So, when you play your favorite songs, the lights create a fun and magical show. But wait—Hotaru doesn’t just look cool—it sounds amazing too! It uses a special needle that carefully plays every little sound from the vinyl record. The sound comes out through speakers that are built into the player, and you can even connect it to other speakers if ...

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]

 Yes, you read that right! 😲 Scientists at NASA found something very strange on Mars. Foto:  NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL/CNES/IRAP The Perseverance rover discovered a weird rock , and when they looked at it closely, it had molecules that look just like MDMA – the stuff people call “ecstasy” at parties. Dr. Richard Bassline (yes, really!) from NASA said: “We’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s like the rock has chemicals from club life!” Nobody knows how it got there. Maybe it’s because of the crazy weather on Mars... or maybe (just maybe 👽)... aliens had a rave there a long time ago! People online are asking: 🛸 “Was Mars once a party planet?” 🎧 “Did aliens invent techno?” Even the rover is feeling the love now. It sent a message: “We are all connected. Love is the truth. Peace, love, unity, respect.” Sounds like Mars knows how to PLUR! 😍 [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...
