Following Laurent Garnier’s landmark performance, Apgrade continues this year’s Weekend programme with its second chapter at Karmakoma Club, bringing together some of the most influential voices in contemporary electronic music.
Apgrade creates a space where established innovators and emerging forces meet, highlighting the ongoing dialogue between the legacy of club culture and the movements shaping its next era.
Objekt has built a reputation as one of the most essential DJs of his generation. Named Mixmag’s DJ of the Year in 2018, he has proven equally at home in festival tents and intimate basement spaces around the world. His sets are a rare balance of unpredictability and precision – driven by technical knowledge and a fearless approach to genre, tempo, and structure. Always spontaneous and highly responsive to the room, Objekt’s performances turn each dancefloor into a space of discovery.
For the opening night of the second Apgrade Weekend, he is joined by Ciel, presenting her acclaimed live show – a performance that has been toured through some of the world’s most respected venues, including fabric London, Robert Johnson, De School, Hot Mass, Smartbar, and Berghain Panorama Bar. Her live set explores the space between intricate sound design, hypnotic rhythms, and emotional depth, making it a perfect counterpart to Objekt’s distinctive approach. Feloneezy and Olgica join the fold for a truly one-of-a-kind night out in Belgrade.
Gerd Janson is one of Germany’s most respected DJs, label heads, and tastemakers. As co-founder of Running Back, he has built one of the most trusted labels in house and disco, with a catalogue that reflects his deep appreciation for underground culture, and the emotional power of the dancefloor.
Known for his impeccable selections, infectious energy, and encyclopedic knowledge of music, Gerd has become a reference point for generations of DJs and listeners alike. Whether behind the decks, shaping the direction of Running Back, or supporting new artists, he continues to bring a rare combination of warmth, curiosity, and precision to clubs and festivals around the world. For this Apgrade Weekend appearance, Gerd is joined by Lipelis and Johanna, moving effortlessly between leftfield disco, house, Balearic influences, and unexpected musical detours. Not to be missed.
The third night of Apgrade Weekend brings together distinct voices connected by a shared appreciation for adventurous, emotionally rich electronic music. Bella Technika arrives with their hypnotic live performance, exploring the space between immersive atmospheres, intricate melodies, and textured rhythms.
Joining them are Vladimir Janjić and Nikola Vemić, two artists deeply rooted in Belgrade’s evolving electronic music landscape. Expect genre-defying selections, unexpected turns, and an early-start extravaganza bringing the Apgrade Weekend journey to a fitting close.
