With the arrival of warmer evenings and the start of the summer season, State of Mind is preparing another return to one of Osijek’s most beloved open-air locations.
On June 6, the respected progressive house brand heads back to Kopika, transforming Beach Bar Beckers into a day-to-night gathering dedicated to melodic grooves, community spirit and the kind of musical journey that has become synonymous with the State of Mind name.
Unlike previous editions, this year’s event expands beyond the traditional evening format. The music begins at 17:00, allowing attendees to experience the gradual transition from sunny afternoon vibes to the deeper, more immersive atmosphere of the night.
The concept perfectly suits the surroundings.
Located on the left bank of the Drava River, Kopika has long served as one of Osijek’s favorite summer meeting points. During the warmer months, the area becomes a natural gathering space where people come together to relax, socialize and enjoy the outdoors. State of Mind taps directly into that energy, creating an event that feels equally comfortable as a sunset hangout and a proper dancefloor experience.
As with previous editions, the organizers have chosen to rely entirely on local talent, highlighting the strength and quality of Osijek’s electronic music community.
Opening the evening is Daniel Endrih, who takes control of the decks from 17:00. A familiar name to followers of the regional electronic scene and a member of the Oxygene family, Endrih is known for carefully crafted sets that prioritize atmosphere and progression. His role is to establish the mood, guiding the crowd through the first hours of the event while the sun slowly begins to set over the Drava.
From 21:00 onward, the energy shifts as Marba steps behind the booth.
Over the years, Marba has become one of Osijek’s most recognizable electronic music selectors, consistently delivering sets built around groove, emotion and dancefloor connection. Positioned in the middle of the evening, his performance serves as the bridge between daytime relaxation and the more intense late-night hours.
The final chapter belongs to Marko Felinger, the driving force behind State of Mind and one of Croatia’s most respected progressive house DJs.
Taking over at midnight and continuing until the end of the event, Felinger will deliver the kind of extended musical journey that has become his trademark. Known for blending melodic textures, hypnotic rhythms and emotional storytelling, his sets are designed to unfold gradually, creating an immersive experience that rewards dancers who stay until the final track.
Felinger’s connection to progressive house runs deep. Through State of Mind, he has spent years championing the genre in eastern Croatia, helping create a dedicated community around music that values patience, atmosphere and long-form musical development. His appearances consistently attract audiences looking for more than peak-time moments and quick drops. Instead, the focus remains on narrative, flow and emotional connection.
That philosophy is reflected throughout the entire event.
State of Mind has never been about chasing trends or following whatever sound happens to dominate social media. Instead, it has built its identity around quality progressive house, carefully selected lineups and an audience that genuinely appreciates the journey as much as the destination.
Another important part of the event’s appeal is its accessibility.
Just like previous editions, entry is completely free.
At a time when ticket prices continue to rise across the industry, free events of this quality remain increasingly valuable. They allow newcomers to discover the music while giving longtime supporters another opportunity to gather and celebrate the scene together.
The combination of a beautiful riverside location, a respected local lineup and a carefully curated musical direction makes this one of the most appealing electronic music gatherings in eastern Croatia this summer.
And while the organizers remain modest about describing the music itself, they may not need to say much.
For those familiar with State of Mind, the formula is already well known.
Expect warm progressive grooves, evolving melodies, hypnotic rhythms and a soundtrack designed to carry you from daylight into the early hours of the morning.
On June 6, Kopika once again becomes the home of a progressive state of mind.
And with free entry, a stunning location and a lineup built entirely around local talent, there are plenty of reasons to arrive early and stay until the final record stops spinning. 🌅🎶
