PETI KUPE SEASON OPENING W/ RON TRENT, RADIO SLAVE, ILIJA RUDMAN, ANTONIO ZUZA, PEPI JOGARDE

-> Friday, September 4th

A refined, timeless dancefloor energy has become the hallmark of Peti Kupe. Setting the tone for the upcoming season, the opening night on September 4th offers a clear glimpse of what’s to come. For this first chapter, the focus is entirely on historical weight and a distinct vision of the future.

Heading to Trnjanska 5 is Ron Trent, a cornerstone of house music and a foundational figure in electronic music culture. Growing up in Chicago during the 1980s transition from disco to house, Ron absorbed the sounds of the city from an early age. A dedicated record collector from youth, he established himself as a respected DJ during his early teens. At just 14, he produced the hypnotic masterpiece "Altered States" (released in 1990), which became an instant classic and propelled him onto the international stage.

In the early '90s, alongside Chez Damier, he co-founded Prescription Records—one of the most influential deep house labels in history, introducing the world to seminal talents like Moodymann and Glenn Underground. Following a move to New York, regular appearances across the city's legendary spots and global venues followed, alongside production work and collaborations with icons like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, and Tony Allen.

Maintaining the room's energy is Radio Slave. A London and Berlin icon and the driving force behind the influential Rekids label, his heavy-hitting releases are crafted to keep dancefloors locked in a hypnotic groove for hours. With a distinct ability to weave raw rave, analog techno, and high-tier house, his sets at venues like Berghain have built a legendary reputation.

Local duties are in the safe hands of a trusted lineup: Ilija Rudman, Pepi Jogarde, and Antonio Zuza. Pepi sets the vibe with an early terrace session starting at 19:00. Ilija takes over inside the club, while Pepi returns alongside Zuza for the early morning afterparty on the club's gallery.
