After the conference, the night continues with a free after-party at Ostblock in the city center, starting after 10 PM.

Expect a proper underground electronic vibe with hardgroove, hard house, speed garage, and UK-influenced sounds from Slovak DJs kub0 and dorothyyy. kub0 blends everything from house and light UKG to harder club styles as part of the PLAYYARD collective, while dorothyyy brings underground techno energy mixed with reggaeton, liquid, and experimental influences inspired by Arca and Sega Bodega.

See you! May 16.🤺

Accept our invitation to next Saturday’s conference alongside this year’s curator. 📯 The organizers, together with Ľubica Segečová, have selected designers they’ve known for years—designers whose work has remained truly relevant throughout that time and continues to be so today. Another common thread is their shared role in the independent scene.

See you on May 16, 2026, in Bratislava. You can find a few tickets via the link in the bio.

After a day of listening to talks or browsing publications at the Temporary Library and Small Book Fair, you’re invited to shift from words to sound with a curated DJ set by (yes, the curator) and . 🪕

Ľubica Segečová’s selection moves in an anti-trend, timeless register, drifting through left-field electronics, heavily processed dub, echoing bass lines, and slow-burning atmospheric textures. 🎷

seafur’s curatorial approach connects geographically and temporally distant musical contexts, tracing links between seemingly disparate genres—from hyperpop to salsa, reggaeton to synthpop, as well as baile funk and digital remix cultures. The result is a dynamic, dance-driven set infused with subtle irony, playfully dismantling the notion of “guilty pleasures.” 🎺

See you with a drink in hand. May 16, 2026.
