Two emerging collectives of the Prague rap scene. Palác Akropolis will be taken over for the first time by pastavbacku and GUFRAU, joined by special guests such as Mat213.

GUFRAU is one of the most exciting new projects on the Prague scene – the trio of H4GO, Kubmat, and Moneyossel blends electronics, rap, techno, and songwriting into a sound that’s as energetic as it is playful. Their 2023 album Holešovice captures the atmosphere of the night city and the unrestrained pace of student life. On their new release Gufrau213, which came out in May and features tracks like Potrvá, they closely collaborated with Mat213. He and other special guests won’t be missing from the show at Palác Akropolis, where GUFRAU will perform for the very first time.

pastavbacku is a young Czech rap crew led by zloun and blazineqq. While you won’t find much about them online, their most successful tracks on Spotify have gathered hundreds of thousands of streams. Their latest album 3BRA3, created in collaboration with Victor Kal., was released in July 2024. The tracklist fuses a contemporary (t)rap sound with the backdrop of Prague’s neighborhoods. This time, it’s Žižkov that will be pulsing.

The PULZ series at Palác Akropolis is curated by music journalist and radio host Vojtěch Tkáč. The evening is held in collaboration with Akropolis Underground.
