Pohoda Parade brings a moving procession of sound systems to the festival
On Thursday, 9 July at 10:00, the festival day will begin with Pohoda Parade – a unique procession of mobile sound systems bringing together the collectives Nočná, Cruise, Bruxa and Blasfémia. Joining forces with Nová Cvernovka and Cyklokuchyňa, they will bring the sound of today’s underground scene into broad daylight. The parade will also pay tribute to the legendary DJ Tráva and will conclude with the ever-cheerful Funny Fellows in their iconic vintage car.

The first vehicle will focus on fast-paced, straight-ahead beats. Pohoda co-founder DJ Wychitawacs will open the parade with a tribute to DJ Tráva, one of the pioneers of the Czechoslovak techno scene. He will be followed by Nina Farrina – a Trenčín-born multidisciplinary artist, DJ and resident at Prague’s Fuchs2. One of the leading figures of Slovakia’s contemporary electronic scene, she has performed at legendary venues such as Tresor, Khidi and RSO, as well as at ADE. Together with her DJ partner 3ever, she co-founded the acclaimed club nights noRemorse, Cliwax and Bruxa.
Also joining the line-up are Miklei & Spacer from the established Blasfémia club series at Subdeck, known for their energetic, high-powered selections. They continue to export their vision of club music beyond Slovakia through international bookings as well as their residency at Copenhagen’s Module club. Closing the first vehicle’s programme will be DJ King Kobra, whose sets are fuelled by electricity running through his veins, razor-sharp breaks and basslines echoing through the ruins of a concrete jungle shaped by industrial experimentation.
The second vehicle will be hosted by the Bratislava-based Cruise collective – the club night that has found its home at Šafko and regularly showcases the hottest global club sounds, from BR funk, latin bass and afro to guaracha, reggaeton and jersey club. The line-up features wyme, founder of the queer safe-space club night xeno, whose genre-defying sets blend diverse global sounds. Sonia Pérez, an emerging Bratislava DJ with Latin roots, will keep the crowd moving with amapiano, gqom, dembow, baile funk and dancehall.
iriiiiii will bring her trademark dancing energy and BPM extravaganza to the parade. With a bag full of latincore, baile funk, Balkan beats and east sound, she represents one of the freshest names on the scene. The programme on the second vehicle will conclude with misxo – a Bratislava-based DJ, artist and promoter who has spent years exploring global club music and latinx sounds. His sets move effortlessly through guaracha, latincore, tribal, cumbia and reggaeton across the BPM spectrum. Beyond the dancefloor, he also hosts the Bambolero radio show on Infame Radio.
The parade will also feature Cyklokuchyňa’s audio bikes, before Funny Fellows wrap everything up with their signature jazz-and-swing performance from their beloved vintage automobile.
Pohoda Parade is a celebration of freedom, diversity and musical openness. Starting at 10:00 near the Opatovce campsite, the procession will circle the heart of the festival several times along the runway. Afterwards, the first vehicle will settle in the Opatovce campsite and the second in the Biskupice campsite, where both will continue playing until the main festival stages begin their programme.
Join us on the morning of Thursday, 9 July, for the ultimate warm-up party celebrating the 30th edition of Pohoda Festival!
Special thanks to Nová Cvernovka and Solar Sound for their support.
