Hush Selected Osijek returns on May 16 with another edition focused on contemporary underground techno, bringing together Australian guest Spez, Croatian selector Pres and local techno icon Insolate for an all-night session inside Oxygene.
Over the last few editions, Hush! Selected has quietly built a strong identity around artists who approach techno through clear musical vision rather than trends or oversized spectacle. The concept stays focused on quality selection, immersive atmosphere and dancefloors filled with people who genuinely come for the music.
Or, as the organizers jokingly suggest — at least people who understand why they came by the end of the night.
Leading the international side of the lineup is Spez, the Australian artist known for groove-driven techno selections and a modern underground sound balancing precision, tension and late-night energy. Alongside him appears Pres, one of the more respected names within the regional electronic scene, bringing a style rooted in hypnotic structures and carefully controlled dancefloor pacing.
The night gains an additional layer through Insolate, who will also be celebrating her birthday during the event.
A central figure of the Croatian techno scene for years, Insolate continues pushing underground electronic culture both locally and internationally through DJing, production and her label Out of Place Records. Known for powerful sets balancing groove, emotion and raw club energy, she remains one of the most important names connected to the region’s contemporary techno movement.
This time, she opens the evening before staying with the crowd deep into the morning hours — something the organizers already translated clearly: no early exits, no “just one drink” and definitely no excuses.
Oxygene once again provides the setting for the event, continuing its role as one of Osijek’s important spaces for underground electronic music programming and intimate club-focused experiences outside Croatia’s larger nightlife centers.
Rather than chasing commercial formulas, Hush Selected Osijek keeps its attention on atmosphere, community and artists capable of building a proper journey across the entire night.
On May 16, Osijek hosts another edition dedicated to modern techno culture, long-form dancefloor energy and a birthday celebration that will likely last until sunrise.
