PLEASE NOTE: NEW LINE-UP! Unfortunately, СОЮЗ (SOYUZ) have been forced to cancel their Prague show due to unresolved travel visas. We are currently looking for a replacement date next year. The original event will still go ahead – Aparde will perform instead of SOYUZ, followed by a DJ afterparty by Stanivslav Zima and Josef Sedloň. 505 remain part of the line-up.

Aparde is a Berlin-based producer, vocalist and live act working across electronica, ambient and deep/melodic techno. His signature sound blends atmospheric electronic textures, melancholy and emotional depth with distinctive vocal passages that have become one of the defining features of his work.

Active as a producer since 2007, Aparde has also performed internationally as a live act since 2012. He has released music on renowned labels including Ki Records and Stil vor Talent. His discography includes the albums Goldene Barrikaden (2011), Glass (2017), Hands Rest (2019), Alliance (2021) and Ambivalent (2024), as well as the EP Issues (2025). Over the years, he has collaborated with and remixed a number of prominent artists from the contemporary electronic scene, including Parra For Cuva, Christian Löffler, Innellea and Jan Blomqvist.

Aparde is currently working on his new album EMPATH and will present new material live in Prague.

505, a Berlin-based duo formed by guitarist and producer Daniel Calvi and electronic artist Mattia Prete, crafts a distinctive sonic landscape where electronica, jazz, and abstract trip-hop echoes converge. Their music pulses with deep, jungle-like rhythms, unfolds into dreamlike atmospheres, and seamlessly blends dark undertones with euphoric melodic explorations.

After performing at renowned festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, 505 is now set to release their debut album—an immersive journey reflecting their passion for sonic experimentation and cross-genre storytelling. The project is driven by a desire to explore new horizons through ongoing collaborations with European musicians from diverse backgrounds, continuously enriching their sound with fresh creative perspectives.

The duo is currently presenting material from their new album together with trumpet player Fabio Radermacher, a close collaborator of the group.
