EXC FESTIVAL | 16th May I Bologna
International guests:
@nicolini_skinni (LIVE)
Beats for the People!!
Nicolini, musician and producer currently based in the Netherlands, brings you a hectic scattered party, filling the air with bass shaking Penni Funk. Nicolini live shows sound like a pirate radio station blasting out of cheap speakers from a cracked out Honda Civic, while he’s preaching on top like a naughty cult leader.
All four records so far are released by Amsterdam label South of North. His latest album “Quita Maldicion” is coming out in May 2026.

dérive navigates dizzying intensities within sub-bass pressure. Shifting rhythms criss-cross interlocking soundscapes, leaping wherever the bassline takes them. Rooted in UK bass continuums, their sets move through shifting atmospheres while remaining unbound by genre. She co-runs poems a club night and label exploring the fringes of low-end-driven, rhythmically complex club music. Since 2022, they have hosted events at OHM (Berlin). This year, they released their first compilation, Quiet Folds the Pressure into Stillwater Hum, bringing together 15 artists from Europe and beyond.

SAUD colors the vitalist legacy of hardcore continuum’s breakbeat patterns with contemporary, iridescent gradients to craft a renewed expression of rhythmic psychedelia. Alongside Dorian Fuk, he is the founder of Belgrade’s future-oriented rave platform SUTRA that has brought artists such as Gabber Modus Operandi, Aïsha Devi, ZULI, Slikback, Batu, ABADIR, Aya, Ehua, Lee Gamble, Ploy, Aquarian, Assyouti, Piezo and many more to Serbia.
Since the pre-pandemic years, SAUD has positioned himself as Belgrade’s foremost fwd-thinking dj, working within multicolor hypersonic laid across divergent rhythms and tempi, never losing the on dynamics and physicality. Besides running SUTRA he has recently played at
@nyegenyegefest , NYC, Beirut, Istanbul, Cairo and basically all over in EU and Balkans. In 2023 he open the venue ZIVA along with artist friends and finally in 2024 it was selected by
