FRIDAY / October 3rd
Future Sound of Zagreb / United ZG Collectives
📍Boogaloo, Zagreb
Friday is dedicated to Zagreb’s collectives, who join forces for the first time under the title “United ZG Collectives”. Four back-to-back sets from crews including FAKAT fajn, UMC, Rejvnesansa, and Underground D.O.O. – representing the city’s vibrant grassroots and collaborative spirit.
BSH invites Dixon & Jimi Jules
📍Lauba, Zagreb
BSH is back in Zagreb with a proper season opening at Lauba. Dixon, one of the most respected names in electronic music and co-founder of Innervisions, returns to the city with his trademark deep and hypnotic sound. He’s joined by Jimi Jules, the Swiss producer known for mixing house, funk and live elements into his sets.
All things Disco
📍Funk Club, Zagreb
DJ Jozo takes over Funk Club with an all-night set dedicated to disco in all its forms. From forgotten deep cuts of the ’70s to house as its natural successor, and today’s underground disco sounds, his sets put emotion first – building a dancefloor full of nostalgia, joy, and sweat.
DESTINEDgrooves
📍DEPO Club, Zagreb
DEPO opens October with a full-night back-to-back from Looka and Puhska, two local names who’ve carved out their own space on the house and tech house scene. Instead of switching sets, the duo will stay side by side from start to finish – giving room for slower warm-ups, peak-time highs, and the kind of groove-driven flow that only comes with long-format DJing.
The Usual Suspects & Sven Nalis
📍Club Manual, Rijeka
Čakovec–Rijeka duo The Usual Suspects return to their home booth at Manual, this time joined by local bass pioneer Sven Nalis. With more than two decades on the scene, Nalis is a founding member of the legendary Masa:Kru collective (2003–2011), a driving force in shaping Rijeka’s broken-beat foundations. Together, the trio bring a colorful mix of styles and deep roots in the underground. Entry is members only.
JULIET FOX
📍Culture Club Revelin, Dubrovnik
Berlin-based DJ and producer Juliet Fox lands in Dubrovnik delivering driving techno. Known for releases on Drumcode, Filth On Acid, and Kraftek, her tracks blend hypnotic grooves with trippy vocals and heavy hardware-driven basslines. With a global touring profile and her own label TREGAMBE, Juliet has become one of techno’s recognizable names.
SATURDAY / Ocober 4th
Future Sound of Zagreb / Grand Finale
📍Boogaloo, Zagreb
The closing night is the most ambitious part of the program: two rooms, 16 domestic artists, and international guests. The big room features a heavy lineup including Ivan Komlinović B2B Mozer, Shipe B2B Ska, Petar Dundov, Dejan Milićević, Insolate, and Fabian Jakopetz B2B Jean-Marie Koné. Meanwhile, the small room shines a spotlight on diversity and groove, with Egzotika DJs, Marcela, PEZNT, Tom Bug B2B Grooveline, Einfakinn, and Yakka B2B Kosta Radman.
ZEZ Festival
📍AKC Attack, Zagreb
The last night of ZEZ brings live sets from Julek Ploski, Evanora:Unlimited, and industrial techno figure Container. Afterhours continue with Slovenia’s Nimaš Izbire (msn gf & gabi98) and Zagreb’s Bansha, pushing eclectic underground sounds until morning.
Hard Night w/ Schranzschwester
📍Depo Club, Zagreb
Depo’s monthly ritual returns with another round of high-intensity sounds. Headlining is Schranzschwester, bringing her signature schranz power and raw hard-techno drive. Residents Teychee, Eni, and Shvixx complete the lineup, keeping the BPM high from start to finish.
ECLIPSE X ENERGETICA
📍Crkva Club, Rijeka
Two collectives meet for the first time inside Rijeka’s Crkva Club. Ena Smajic and Armin Di High bring the Eclipse sound from Sarajevo, joining forces with local DJ Ogi, Cepo, and Senkic. Expect a wide spectrum of techno from groovy and old-school to deep and hypnotic.
Caramel w/ Ana Antonova
