Dobar House is preparing to close another successful season in style, and for the occasion the Zagreb-based collective is bringing one of the most exciting new names in contemporary house music to Peti Kupe.
On June 12, Australian producer and DJ Luke Alessi will make his long-awaited Zagreb debut, headlining a special season-closing event that feels particularly meaningful for the Dobar House crew. The booking has been years in the making, driven not by hype or industry trends, but by genuine admiration for an artist whose music has become deeply embedded in the collective’s identity and dancefloor culture.
For many followers of Dobar House, Luke Alessi’s arrival will feel like a natural progression.
Long before his name started appearing at the top of global charts, the collective had already embraced his productions. Tracks such as After Five became staples of their sets, finding a permanent place in late-night moments, peak-time dancefloors and countless memorable gatherings throughout the past year. As his profile continued to grow internationally, the desire to bring him to Zagreb only became stronger.
Now, the timing couldn’t be better.
Luke Alessi arrives at a moment when his career is experiencing remarkable momentum.
Together with William Kiss and Jordan Brando as part of the collaborative project not without friends, he currently sits at the forefront of the global house music conversation. Their remix of Spiller’s iconic Groovejet has climbed to the top of the Traxsource charts while simultaneously securing a place among the highest-ranked releases on Beatport, further cementing Alessi’s status as one of the scene’s most in-demand young talents.
This latest success follows an already impressive run.
His collaboration with Chloé Caillet, The One, became one of the defining house records of the previous year, reaching the number one position on Beatport and receiving widespread support across clubs, festivals and radio shows worldwide.
What makes Alessi particularly compelling is his ability to combine influences from multiple genres without losing focus.
Born and raised in Melbourne, he has developed a sound that comfortably moves between house, disco, electro and funk while maintaining a distinctly modern dancefloor sensibility. His productions are energetic yet sophisticated, playful without becoming gimmicky and emotional without sacrificing groove.
That balance has attracted the attention of some of electronic music’s most respected tastemakers.
Artists such as Jamie xx, Peggy Gou, Moxie and Chris Stussy have all supported his music, helping introduce his work to audiences across the globe. Meanwhile, releases on influential labels including Life & Death have demonstrated both his versatility and artistic ambition.
Beyond his solo career, Alessi continues to expand his creative footprint through projects such as Coffee Cola, his own label platform, and not without friends, a collective that has quickly become one of the most talked-about communities in contemporary house music.
Together, these projects represent a new generation of artists redefining club culture on their own terms.
Rather than chasing formulas, they prioritize community, creativity and genuine connection to the dancefloor.
Those values align perfectly with the philosophy that has guided Dobar House for years.
The collective has consistently championed artists who understand the deeper aspects of club culture, emphasizing musical quality and atmosphere over trends. Luke Alessi embodies exactly that spirit, making him an ideal choice to headline this season finale.
Supporting him on the night are members of the extended Dobar House family, including Tom Bug, whose appearances remain a favorite among local audiences. Also joining the celebration are Dobar House residents and label affiliates, helping ensure the event carries the unmistakable identity that has defined the series since its inception.
The venue itself adds another layer to the occasion.
Since opening its doors, Peti Kupe has become one of Zagreb’s most important destinations for electronic music, providing an environment capable of hosting both internationally acclaimed artists and community-focused events. Its industrial atmosphere, powerful sound system and dedicated crowd make it the perfect setting for a night built around house music and dancefloor connection.
Season-closing events often carry a special energy.
They represent not only the end of a chapter but also a celebration of everything that came before it. For Dobar House, this gathering is an opportunity to reflect on another year of memorable parties while looking ahead to what comes next.
And with Luke Alessi at the controls, the final dance of the season promises to be a memorable one.
For Zagreb’s house music community, June 12 is more than just another club night.
It is the arrival of an artist many have been waiting to see for a long time, a celebration of a collective that continues to shape the city’s nightlife landscape and a reminder of why great house music remains timeless.
As Dobar House puts it simply:
Zagreb, this one WILL be special.
