“Electrochoc” by Laurent Garniera at 18 years of “Klubska scena” in Aquarius club in Zagreb, Croatia

Electronic bestseller “ Electrochoc” by Laurent Garniera at 18 years of “Klubska scena” in Aquarius club in Zagreb, Croatia on 15th November 2019. A ten year old kid who improvised partying in his own room, collected over the years of experience, wrote it all in 2003 and published a book, the most famous electronic bestseller " Electrochoc ".  Laurent Garnier confirmed his status as the highest authority on the electronic scene with the publication of this book, whose writing was assisted by the French journalist David Brun-Lambert , and the success of the book is confirmed by numerous world-wide translations, including publications in the Kosovo region, as in Serbia, Croatia and BiH.

The law provides that every organizer must adapt to the new "precautions" that require him to meet with the mayor at least one month before the event.

Currently, the problem is to get all the permits and authorizations, but with the new law it will be almost impossible for one average young organizer to embark on such obligations. Penalties for breaching the law are £ 3750 and / or seizing equipment that is expensive. They believe that the law will contribute to the overall better lifestyle of the stat. Club owners, organizers and promoters complain that no one involves them in the discussions and issues that affect them, s
