Assisting them in bringing the event to life will be NVC, also known as co-founders of INOTA Festival, alongside the veteran Hungarian organizing collective Turbina, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.

THEY SHUT US DOWN FOR 30 DAYS – BUT THE STORY DOESN’T END HERE
On the morning of March 4, authorities ordered the closure of Turbina Cultural Center for one month, citing a simple verbal report. This is yet another blow to the Budapest scene that so many of us have been passionately building, often against the odds.

TURBINA FREETEK 5 W/ ACIDPACH
Since the 1990s, the French freetekno movement has been one of the strongest on the continent. Emerging from this scene, Acidpach arrives with his crushing-heavy, floor-devouring sounds to transform the space beneath our glass windows into one vast, dancing dark pit.
Needless to say, the Great Hall’s speaker monster will roar back to life again so we’ll meet where the membrane tears.

Don’t change a perfect recipe, a wise Eastern sage probably once said - and even if he didn’t, it still holds true: Georgia’s internationally celebrated techno prince Yanamaste smashed the walls of Turbina almost exactly a year ago (with a stop at INOTA Festival along the way), so now we’re handing him the control scepter once again. Expect the tightest grooves, plus a characteristically champion proper local lineup across two rooms!

László Papp, founder of Turbina and INOTA, who DJs under the name Subotage, and his creative project Surfaloneneed little introduction to those familiar with the Hungarian electronic music scene. Now the continuation has arrived: Álom, a track that blends minimal electronics with an alternative-leaning melodic world.
“The song is about our own endless loops — the ones we all sometimes fall back into, even when we think we’ve long since moved past them,” says the artist, who approaches Surfalone as an honest and experimental musical project, free from predefined stylistic paths, genre constraints, or carefully planned PR campaigns. Instead, it ebbs and flows, circles around, drifts, feels, and reflects. Here, alternative guitar lines and techno foundations coexist in a completely natural way.
The influence of Hungarian alternative music is particularly strong throughout the track, resonating both in the melodic language and in the structure of the lyrics — especially in the line-breaks and enjambments characteristic of the genre.
Tracklist:
Álom🌀 (Original mix)
Álom🌀 (Emcsi remix)
“Álom represents the inward-looking side of this musical world. It doesn’t aim for a climax, there are no choruses — instead, it unfolds as a recursive ebb and flow within January’s emptiness: a state where we are left alone with our own endless loops, and familiar thoughts and patterns keep returning again and again. After Ragyogj, this is a completely different state, and it clearly shows how wide the spectrum is from which the upcoming full Surfalone album will be built,” Laci said.
As with the June single, the video is once again directed by Miki357. It is built around a rapid succession of striking images, occasionally reflecting even the words spoken in the lyrics. The human body comes to the forefront, along with bittersweet joys — and, of course, the endless loop of modern life, which also served as the main inspiration behind the track.
