DokuNights is now a major part of having a good time in Prizren and last night was a well-curated confetti bomb of liberation, excitement, and empowering beats. People came to have a good time and left 
Many came to Andrra Stage to have a good time and left fully energized when the sun came up.

Last night was all about exploring what can be done within the confines of music. Pablo Picasso's saying is true: Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist and the performers on Andrra Stage proved just that.

Peaches performed in Prizren and what a great show it was! There were elaborate costume changes, expressive and interactive choreography, and she belted her deepest desires. It was melted into a capsule of liberation beyond body and music. Known for her explosive performances, last night’s show united the audience, intertwined genres, melted sounds into a pot of trailblazing narrative on how to enjoy and explore ourselves beyond limitation. Her lyrics are strong, magnetic, and with strong reference to many human and social matters.

If there is a party in Prizren, it will go on and on and STEFFI, a Berghain and Panorama resident, took the stage last night to play an electrifying set: powerful and upbeat and a true reminder of how music affects the emotional state of those who love and live to dance carefreely. Her magic recipe of blending many styles of electronica brought everyone to the dance floor while emulating a state of joy and an upbeat course of action.

Later on, while the first rays of sun just started to appear in the sky, Ivana Dragsic brought the last touch of empowerment to the stage. 
Dragsic is known to evoke thoughts and emotions about important social issues through her music and her blend of cultures was proudly evident last night.

All we can say is that you had to be there to understand the magnitude of happiness and liberty that unified the crowd while they danced the night away.

There were electro-breaks, waves of house and techno, moments wished pushed limits, and intimate moments of dance, delivering an immersive experience.

DokuNights does not end there! Many more shows and performances will follow. Tonight, (05/08) come to Andrra Stage to hear Higher Intelligence Agency, Interstellar Funk, and Gent Vargmal pushing the limits of electronic music, with transcendental and surreal sounds paving the way for little gems of sounds colliding into one setting while everybody dances.
