Three years of music and joy: Peti Kupe is preparing a birthday weekend to remember

Three years. Hundreds of nights. Countless hours of music. Peti Kupe is celebrating its third birthday, and as befits the occasion, the birthday weekend will be very special. On Friday, March 21st, for the first time in an all-night event, Homage Collective will perform, while on Saturday, March 22nd, DJs Gerd Janson and Pepi Jogarde will perform in a b2b edition!

In a year, Homage Collective has become one of the attractions of Peti Kupe, but also of Zagreb's nightlife. Following the example of world metropolises, this collective, in cooperation with the club, offered a top-notch program with a more refined and modern sound than usual. The dedication to musical greats and world music is brought by a top-notch ensemble, composed of numerous renowned domestic musicians. The repertoire so far has included Roy Ayers, Chaka Khan, Jamiroquai, Brazilian music, Curtis Mayfield, Jimi Tenor, Arsen Dedić, Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones.

In the jubilee tenth performance, just to celebrate the anniversary, they will play the best of the above. With a later start, the event will last all night, and DJs Neno Martinović and Vedran Rako will encourage celebratory dancing. A day later, on Saturday, a real treat is in store, because two friends and great music connoisseurs will perform back to back – Gerd Janson and Pepi Jogarde.

Gerd Janson is a legendary DJ, producer and founder of the cult label Running Back. His eclectic sets, which span several shades of techno, house and disco, seamlessly blend classics and forgotten obscurities with fresh tracks, often months or even years before other DJs discover them. As a long-time resident of Frankfurt's Robert Johnson club and Berlin's Panorama Bar, Gerd typically plays more than 100 shows a year in clubs and festivals around the world.

After several great performances at Peti Kupe, he will once again celebrate his birthday, paired with his friend. Pepi Jogarde, on the other hand, is a legend in the domestic scene with a great influence on the scene. Through Freilauf and other programs and radio shows, he has raised generations of clubbers, and his selection of music is always one step ahead. Pepi is synonymous with quality and passion for music.

The interactions between the two friends will last all night at a counter located in the middle of the club at the dancer's level. Sound Circuit is a concept that combines sound and space into a unique audiovisual whole. It is not just a decoration, but an integral part of the experience, designed to enhance the feeling of music and connect the audience with the space in a new way. A birthday party is the right moment to repeat this experience. Tickets for both events can be purchased online.
