Drugstore officially closes its season on May 29 with a massive two-club takeover led by Berlin-based artist Narciss, transforming both Drugstore and Karmakoma into one connected underground playground for a final spring blowout before summer arrives in Belgrade.
Running from 23:00 until sunrise, the event spreads across both venues simultaneously, allowing dancers to move freely between two distinct atmospheres connected through one shared ticket and one collective energy.
And for a proper Drugstore season finale, the concept feels perfectly oversized.
Inside Drugstore itself, the lineup centers around Narciss alongside Aneri, Mamavitae and SLVC024 b2b Juno — a combination promising everything from high-intensity techno pressure to emotionally charged club experimentation and queer underground energy.
Meanwhile, nearby Karmakoma hosts Filip Xavi, Rope, Ixoe and De.Mur, expanding the night into a broader multi-room journey moving fluidly between darker club immersion and more groove-focused late-night energy.
At the center of everything stands Narciss.
Over the last several years, the Berlin-based artist has emerged as one of the most exciting and uncompromising names connected to contemporary queer techno culture. Combining raw percussion, emotional intensity and rave futurism, Narciss builds sets that feel equally rooted in Detroit-inspired rhythmic drive and entirely personal storytelling.
The influence of Robert Hood and classic hypnotic techno is clearly present, but Narciss pushes those foundations into something more theatrical, emotional and unpredictable.
Drugstore describes it beautifully:
“Percussive drive inspired by the likes of Robert Hood, mixed with fables from a world of their own.”
That balance between physical intensity and emotional identity remains central to Narciss’ artistry itself.
Beyond DJing and production, the artist’s background in audio engineering and communications contributes to a style that feels highly intentional — carefully structured yet emotionally explosive at the same time. Collaborations with names such as DJ Boring and Gerd Janson further expanded that visibility internationally, while their presence inside Berlin’s queer underground continues shaping a distinct and deeply personal musical identity.
And honestly, Drugstore feels like the ideal venue for that energy.
Few clubs in the Balkans carry the same level of raw industrial atmosphere and underground credibility as Drugstore. The former slaughterhouse space has long functioned as one of Belgrade’s most important electronic music institutions, known for marathon nights, uncompromising sound systems and crowds fully committed to the music until sunrise.
For many, it represents the emotional center of Belgrade’s underground nightlife culture itself.
This closing party also places strong emphasis on local collectives and regional community power.
Aneri, Mamavitae, Women With Attitude and Slutka contributors continue representing the strength and diversity of Belgrade’s queer and feminist underground scenes — communities that have become increasingly vital within contemporary electronic culture throughout the region.
That inclusion matters.
Rather than relying solely on international headliners, Drugstore once again builds the night around the ecosystem that actually sustains the scene year-round.
The addition of Karmakoma expands the experience even further.
One ticket unlocking two venues creates the kind of fluid city-wide nightlife movement that Belgrade has become famous for internationally — dancers drifting between spaces, sounds and atmospheres until morning without ever fully leaving the energy behind.
And as spring transitions into summer, this finale arrives with a certain emotional weight too.
Closing nights at Drugstore are never just ordinary parties.
They feel like endings, releases and collective rituals all at once — final moments before the city’s nightlife temporarily shifts toward open-air season and summer festivals across the Balkans.
On May 29, Drugstore closes its doors for the season exactly the way it should:
loud, sweaty, emotional and fully overflowing with underground energy until sunrise hits Belgrade.
