From bollywood music to reggaeton, get ready for the sound of global club music in your local club. Sixth edition from the Šelest club night series will bring together the Miami-based producer and Tra Tra Trax affiliatte Nick Léon (his long-awaited Czech debut), Vienna based and Bangladesh-rooted artist মm, Slovak experimentator DJ GÄP and Radio Punctum resident Seafur. On 28th of October, the dance floor of Prague club Bike Jesus will tremble with rhythms of afrohouse, techno, breakbeat, jungle or baile funk. Pilsen-based group 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗹 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗹 𝗩𝗝𝘀 will take care of the visual elements.

𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗲ó𝗻 creates a dystopian tapestry of club music, drawing inspiration from Florida’s diverse ecosystem, where he started as a self-taught producer for local rap scene. His recent EP Xtasis (released on label TraTraTrax), along with collaborations with artists such as Rosalía’s, Iceboy Violet or Denzel Curry, show how versatile (and insanely fun!) his work can be. Constant evolution is present also in his DJ sets, which can go from dub or UK bass via breakbeat to reggaeton or cumbia.
