Kosovo Clubbing

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]
