Working in the twilight zone of tense trance and nu techno, our series is preparing this season with nights to remember, starting with DINA from Berlin's Nachtcrew, who is interested in psychedelic time warps in both her productions and dj sets. Her most recent EP on KI/KI’s Slash is described as an ”impressive combination of immersive basslines transforming into huge amounts of dancefloor euphoria”. DINA has also released on illustrious labels such as Amniote Editions, Space Trax, Live From Earth, and her own imprint Nachtcrew.

There is a mystical sweet spot between techno and trance, an experience capsule floating on the musical event horizon that some people unknowingly created back in the 90s. In this genre-hybrid singularity playing in the colors of the Aurora Borealis, the impulsivity of the sounds grows to infinity, the concepts of time and space we know collapse to give way to a special material that is outside of all frameworks and does not stand still, rather moving and morphing like mercury , which we now call: psytechno.

Read MoreCan you share chicken paprikash, like hummus?
Since ancient times, Hungarian hospitality has been based on individual, large portions, and it was not appropriate to poke around in each other's plates. This was gradually broken by restaurants offering Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes in small portions, where we eat from shared plates and do not have to behave well. How did the Pest public become open to this hospitality, which is very different from domestic customs? Why is it good and difficult to run businesses based on family and friendship relationships? Why is hospitality in the biggest crisis right now? Can Hungarian dishes be eaten in a shared way with others?
Read MoreINOTA Focus: RADIANCE
After our Turbine Hall-focused rave, we continue to build the INOTA narrative: during the last days of summer, light art will become the main protagonist and the power plant zone will become one huge accessible exhibition space - while the electronic music side will not be forgotten, from cosmic ambient to cutting-edge techno.

We love living here! Amazing architecture, talented, relaxed, wonderful people, exciting vibes! But "just in the good old days"? "Everything was better back then"? What is the reality behind commonplaces known to everyone? Are they over-romanticizing, or has the situation not changed since then?

Read MoreINOTA Focus: TURBINACSARNOK
Last year, shapes of the past and the future merged into an exceptionally original unity in the stunning grounds of the Inota thermal power plant. One of the highlights of our festival was the opening of the enormous Turbine Hall, towering over us, and the idea was already in the air: we have to shake this giant again.
Read MoreTURBINA FREETEK 001
Turbina embraces freetrekno for the first time, but probably not for the last. The wild, raw and fast genres of the free party movement will move from illegal field raves staged by anarchists and squatters to the 8th district's favourite spot to pack the membranes until the wee hours of the morning.

We love a good spot, and we think you do too. But what we love most of all is not missing out on good spots, good parties, concerts, workshops, design fairs, exhibitions and other shenanigans. But nowadays the news feed noise has swollen so much, the Facebook events page is sometimes so opaque and it's so easy to miss something that it seemed worthwhile to tidy it up.
