Palicavonzvreca x Pohoda: James Ruskin B2B TOKY GB/SK
Pohoda 2026 continues unveiling the special collaboration Palicavonzvreca x Pohoda. The joint programme will transform Friday night into Saturday morning into a full techno and rave experience with four exclusive back-to-back DJ sets. The second announced pairing is James Ruskin and Slovak techno legend TOKY.
James Ruskin is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in UK techno. His musical roots trace back to the mid-1980s electro and hip-hop scenes, giving him a deep understanding of underground electronic music culture. Ruskin is the founder of the influential Blueprint Records, which has released music by artists such as Surgeon, Oliver Ho and Truncate. His own productions also appear on the legendary Berlin techno label Tresor Records, where he has released multiple EPs and albums. Ruskin’s DJ sets are known for their precise rhythmic structures, varied tempos and powerful dancefloor intensity.
Joining him will be TOKY, one of the key figures of the Slovak techno scene. Active since the 1990s, he has played a major role in shaping the country’s underground electronic culture. Known for his hypnotic, raw techno sound and uncompromising energy behind the decks, TOKY has built a reputation as a Slovak techno legend both locally and internationally.
Their B2B set will bring together two generations of techno culture – British underground heritage and Slovak rave history – in one powerful club experience.
