RJVNSNS arrives at Funk Club on May 28 for a multidisciplinary night combining visual art, underground club music and intimate basement energy in the heart of Zagreb.
Blending exhibition culture with late-night dancefloor movement, the event transforms the venue into a two-floor experience where contemporary visual expression and electronic music naturally collide.
And importantly, this is not just another club night.
The evening begins upstairs with the first solo exhibition by Jurica Pakračić, a second-year student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb and recipient of the Dean’s Award for the most successful student of his generation. A former student of the School of Applied Arts and Design (ŠPUD), Pakračić works across multiple artistic media, though his primary focus revolves around graphic art and painting, particularly traditional relief printing techniques, texture exploration and the interaction of light within physical space.
His works will remain displayed throughout the evening, while the official exhibition opening starts at 21:00 on the venue’s first floor.
That artistic component gives RJVNSNS a very different atmosphere compared to conventional nightlife programming.
Rather than separating visual culture and club culture, the event embraces the growing connection between underground electronic music spaces and contemporary art environments — something increasingly common throughout Europe’s independent cultural scenes.
Downstairs, however, things become significantly sweatier.
From 22:00 onwards, the Funk Club basement shifts fully into dancefloor mode as Ana Mi takes over the booth with a genre-fluid selection moving through indie dance, italo disco, electro and groove-heavy techno.
As a member of the Rejvnesansa collective, Ana Mi has steadily built a reputation across Croatia’s underground circuit since 2016, playing clubs and events throughout Slavonia before increasingly appearing inside Zagreb venues including Boogaloo, Surogat and Močvara.
Her style feels intentionally eclectic.
Rather than locking into rigid genre structures, Ana Mi builds atmosphere through movement and rhythm, balancing nostalgic electronic textures with contemporary club energy. Expect warm synth lines, rolling bass grooves, electro pressure and enough indie dance attitude to keep the basement moving until closing time.
And Funk Club itself feels like the ideal location for that kind of night.
Hidden within Tkalčićeva Street, the venue has long carried a more intimate and alternative energy compared to larger Zagreb club spaces. Its basement architecture naturally amplifies underground electronic sounds, while the upper-floor social space creates room for slower interaction, conversation and cultural crossover.
That duality defines RJVNSNS perfectly.
Part gallery opening.
Part basement rave.
Part social gathering.
Most importantly, the event remains fully open and accessible, with free entry throughout the night — reinforcing the collective’s focus on community atmosphere and cultural exchange over exclusivity or commercial clubbing formulas.
In a nightlife landscape increasingly driven by algorithms, trends and oversized productions, smaller nights like this often become the spaces where genuine local underground culture continues evolving most naturally.
On May 28, Funk Club once again becomes exactly that kind of place:
a space where art hangs on the walls upstairs while electro grooves shake the basement below until deep into the night.
