¡CALIENTE!

RAKETA
RIBERO
IKA
ANDYBLACKHOLE

¡Caliente! marks the launch of a brand-new series of the hottest nights in Metelkova’s officially unofficial high-risk zone.

On July 21, Gala Hala’s Summer Garden will be taken over by a crew of selectors serving up blazing sets packed with Latin American dancefloor bombs, guaranteed to leave you sweaty, thirsty, and asking for one more track.

Meanwhile, Brazilian cocktail wizard Pedro will be mixing a one-of-a-kind, patent-worthy drink available only to those who know the secret password:

“Boa noite.” (Pronounced: “BO-ah NOY-chee.”)

On the decks

Raketa
A ghetto and bass music enthusiast with a particular love for dub. Her sets are sensual, hypnotic, and deeply rooted in the joy of dancing—sometimes so much so that even she struggles to keep up.

ribero
Approaching club culture with the philosophy that everyone—DJ and crowd alike—should simply have the best possible time. Inspired by everything that crawls, slithers, hops, or wriggles, ribero thrives on unpredictable rhythms, easy-going dancefloors, and spontaneous adventures.

ika
Jumping effortlessly between trap, hip hop, salsa, merengue, and eurodance, ika builds colourful, chaotic, and slightly nostalgic sets shaped somewhere between the apartment blocks of New Belgrade and the parties of Radio Študent.

andyblackhole
By day, a music journalist and composer. After midnight, a rare seasonal DJ appearance featuring a delightfully chaotic blend of cumbia, amapiano, samba, bass music, and whatever else feels right in the moment.

Music policy: Latin / Samba / Salsa / Electronic / Eurodance / Merengue / Hip Hop / Trap / Bass

Admission: 5€

In case of rain, the event will take place indoors.

You are warmly invited to a traditional serving of schlager, canzone, chanson, and evergreen pop tunes—along with, not insignificantly, sardines and potato salad (weather—and full moon—permitting). Welcome to Fine Music from the Mediterranean.

Behind the decks is the versatile DJ Bakto, who will most likely dedicate a good part of the evening to musical gems from the former Yugoslavia.

INTIMATE: SARA RENAR

Summer is a time for music that doesn’t need to be loud.

The first July evening of this year’s Intimno series belongs to Sara Renar, one of the most distinctive and compelling voices of the contemporary regional music scene. The Zagreb-based musician, poet, performer, and multimedia artist has spent over a decade building a unique sonic world at the intersection of intimate songwriting, electronics, poetry, and bold sonic experimentation.

With her new album Nježne riječi (Gentle Words), Sara Renar opens a space for stories about language, belonging, tenderness, and resistance. Described as an exploration of gentleness as a form of defiance, the album moves between Croatian and English, between the personal and the political, between fragility and strength.

At a time when art is often expected to be fast, easily defined, and instantly appealing, Nježne riječi insists on slowness, complexity, and sensitivity.

Over the past years, Sara Renar has released seven albums, received numerous nominations and Porin awards, and performed more than five hundred concerts across Europe and the region. Yet regardless of the size of the stage, her music finds its strongest expression in intimate settings—where her rare ability to create closeness between performer and audience can truly unfold.

Intimno is a series of acoustic and singer-songwriter concerts in the Summer Garden, where for a few hours we step away from the noise of the world, sit close to the stage, and listen a little more carefully.

Music policy: Singer-songwriter / Acoustic / Ambient

Tickets: €10 via mojekarte.si
