The KIOSK conference has recently been making waves in the media with its intriguing announcements, and music lovers have been particularly drawn to its musical program.
The event brings together creatives, managers, C-level professionals, and independent artists, exploring how to build and maintain a relevant brand today. Alongside the rich daytime program at Lauba in Zagreb, KIOSK AFTER DARK is scheduled for February 6 at Peti Kupe, running from 9 PM to 4 AM.
The organizers’ approach shows that this isn’t just an afterthought, but a full-fledged extension of the conference in a different, club-focused format. This is reflected in the strong lineup, featuring American musician Detroit In Effect, British DJ Madam X, and the Austrian project Sun People, alongside standout local acts – DJ SZCH and the duo Gammad FM.
The first two hours of KIOSK AFTER DARK are reserved for Gammad FM, a special live format led by the duo from Yammat FM, Daniel Bilić and Matko Antonović. Their radio show is known for its spontaneity, cultural curiosity, and unpredictability, and at Peti Kupe it takes on a club-ready version.
“Gammad FM isn’t a panel or a DJ set, but an informal late-night space where conversations with international and regional conference speakers happen alongside music, without a script or conference protocol. The focus is on listening, networking, and warming up the atmosphere before the club rhythm takes over,” the organizers explain.
From 11 PM, KIOSK AFTER DARK powered by A1 transforms Peti Kupe into a full-fledged club, with a lineup that even major party capitals would envy. The night kicks off with SZCH, a Zagreb-based DJ and producer whose sonic signature is woven into the very foundations of the conference through his creation of the KIOSK sonic logo and complete sound identity.
Detroit In Effect takes over from his hypnotic opener, a living legend whose sound is deeply rooted in the raw Detroit underground, delivering uncompromising electro and ghetto-tech rhythms designed to keep the dance floor in constant, frenzied motion.
The central part of the night is led by Madam X, founder of the influential KAIZEN label, known for her dark, bass-heavy selections that expertly blur the lines between techno and grime. The evening concludes with Sun People from Graz, bringing a polyrhythmic mix of footwork and jungle in a set that stays relentlessly dynamic and unpredictable until the very end.
KIOSK AFTER DARK is designed as the grand finale of the first edition of KIOSK, where the conference experience concludes on the dance floor. Rather than a typical afterparty, it offers a curated nighttime program that gives equal weight to conversation and music, matching the quality of the daytime sessions.
Tickets for the conference are available on the official KIOSK website, while a limited number of entries for the club portion will be announced on the conference’s Instagram profile.
