The era of teasing is over — the news is true: on July 31, Intercell will arrive in the Hungarian capital at a fitting open-air location. Assisting them in bringing the event to life will be NVC, also known as co-founders of INOTA Festival, alongside the veteran Hungarian organizing collective Turbina, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.

The triple album — spanning the POP, CLUB, and experimental XPERI categories — is now available on all streaming platforms, featuring emerging Hungarian artists we’ll likely be hearing a lot more from in the future.

!TURBINA IS FREE AGAIN!

Finally, it’s happening: after a month of forced silence, the lights will come back on and the membranes will vibrate again at Turbina — stronger than ever!

This year marks the fourth time we will close out the long summer at the foot of the three majestic concrete cooling towers rising along Hungary’s Route 8, with forward-looking electronic music acts and a spectacular light art exhibition, this time between August 27-30.

Closing community spaces does not solve real problems - but it can very quickly destroy the cultural fabric of a city. That is why we are standing up together now, to make sure this does not happen.

On the morning of March 4, authorities ordered the closure of Turbina Cultural Center for one month, citing a simple verbal report. This is yet another blow to the Budapest scene that so many of us have been passionately building, often against the odds.

It's been two years since we launched Budapest's most streamlined program offering site, Spots, which has been used by thousands of people as a compass day and night ever since.

The Italian composer, known for his cosmically heart-wrenching analog soundscapes - who was also one of the most memorable performers at the first INOTA Festival last year at the Várpalota power plant - announced the news on his Instagram the other day that she will be the number one curator of the music program in 2025 and 2026.

We continue to keep up with the selection, helping you filter out the best parties from the digital noise, with the help of the city's program offering site, Telekom Spots.
