Scene
One of the most popular clubs in the capital, Peti Kupe, brings back their sound circuit format putting the DJ s right in the center of the floor for the whole weekend – Friday with Piknik crew and Saturday for their residential program, Sequences.
Saturday, November 7, is reserved for the renowned b2b duo, Kristian Beyer and Kristijan Molnar.
One hand holds a fader, the other is already searching for the next track; between the two people behind the decks, a single glance is exchanged the moment a transition lands exactly where it should. That is what a back-to-back set looks like when performed by DJs who are perfectly in sync. Kristian Beyer, better known globally as one half of the duo Âme, and Belgrade-based selector Kristijan Molnar are joining forces for a new edition of the Sequences event series.
It is impossible to separate Beyer’s name from the history of contemporary electronic music. In 2000, alongside Frank Wiedemann, he founded the renowned project Âme—celebrated for numerous hits as well as the label Innervisions, which they run together with Dixon. Behind the decks, he is known for long, patiently constructed sets that drift between house, techno, and everything in between.
Kristijan Molnar is also a favorite among the local audience. Active on the scene for 20 years, his sets rarely stick to a single genre; in his hands, deep techno, leftfield disco, New York house, and dark wave coalesce into an unpredictable, cohesive whole. In addition to performing on all the major regional stages, he has also garnered attention with his project, Gather Together.
It was, in fact, within the framework of that very project that Kristian and Kristijan have previously performed back-to-back. To discover what happens when Beyer’s penchant for marathon musical journeys meets Molnar’s restless, genre-defying selection, the best approach is to experience it live. They will be joined at the counter by Pepi Jogarde, who shares years of friendship and joint performances with the guests.
This time, the experience will be enhanced by the counter in the middle of the club, in the already popular Sound Circuit environment, with a special sound and lighting concept.
Friday, November 6, is dedicated to the new Piknik event, that brings the “back to the roots” spirit—to pure musical intelligence and an uncompromising selection.
Club culture thrives on that moment when the dance floor surrenders completely to someone else’s instinct. This is precisely what Sonja Moonear brings to the table. A former classical pianist who organized illegal raves in Geneva during the 90s, she now commands marathon sets at Panorama Bar. A favourite of the cult label Perlon, she traded the piano for turntables, crafting an elusive sonic universe and building a reputation as a selector whom the dance floor can trust with their eyes closed.
Local talent will provide the perfect backdrop for this narrative, as Piknik is entrusting the entire evening to a lineup of top-tier selectors. Ani. and Bronski—the husband-and-wife duo behind Rijeka’s Deep n’ Delicious—are preparing a special back-to-back (b2b) set for this occasion.
Rounding out the lineup is Madezh, a prominent figure from Split and co-founder of the Cruise collective. He brings his signature minimal-funk sound to the dance floor, drawing from his role as the head of Travel Light Records and his collection of serious music on vinyl.
