Radosť Factory 2026

Radosť Factory 2026 is the 7th edition of the city’s open-air techno festival, taking place on Saturday, June 20, at Zlaté Piesky in Bratislava.

The organizers promise two international acts, techno, people, and that special open-air energy that just works. If you love techno the way it’s supposed to sound, you know where to be on this day.

Line-up:

Adriana Lopez

One of the headliners at Radost Factory 2026 is none other than Colombian techno purist and icon Adriana Lopez, who has been a stalwart of the electronic club scene for over 20 years. Adriana Lopez began her musical career in the late 1990s in her hometown of Bogotá. In 2003, she moved to Barcelona, which opened up opportunities for her to tour globally at top clubs and festivals around the world, such as Berghain, Tresor, Fabric, Rex, Grelle Forelle, Awakenings Festival, Stone Techno Festival, DGTL Festival, and many others.
With strong determination and dedication to her artistic vision, she refuses to conform to any trends. Adriana Lopez is a pillar of strength and authenticity. Her flawlessly mastered technique captivates audiences with a distinctive blend of physical and dark techno. Her sound resonates on a deep level. It is a perfect balance between power and subtlety, without excessive action or overloaded textures.
In her DJ sets, she develops a broad, rich, and complex vision of techno that she never adapts to a conventional sound. Her sound is dark yet groovy, and its rhythm and energy offer a pure escapist experience. With every performance, she creates a unique, atmospheric dynamic. She has released her own productions—built on raw, hypnotic, and energetic techno—on labels that champion this sound, such as PoleGroup, Semantica, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Modularz, Mord, and her own label, Grey Report.

Kuss

A prominent figure in the new generation of the French techno scene. His music spans multiple genres, yet always retains a distinctive hypnotic and cerebral style infused with tribal and mysterious elements. He is equally adept at creating energetic club techno as he is at experimenting with ambient, downtempo, or progressive rock in his side project. In his DJ sets and live performances, he is constantly searching for new forms of sound and atmosphere. His music draws from personal experiences, emotions, and moments, which he transforms into an intense club experience. In 2021, he was noticed by the French label Skryptöm, on which he released three successful EPs. He has also released his work on respected labels such as Maison Close, Drawner Records, Canticle, Molekül, and Agora Records. He has collaborated with artists such as Zadig, Electric Rescue, Mac Declos, and Antigone, and has performed at clubs like Essaim, Khidi, Fuse, RSO, and Levenslang.

Loktibrada

Among the headliners of the 7th edition is Loktibrada, a legend of the Slovak club scene and one of the creators of Bratislava’s underground sound. Loktibrada, originally known as DJ Dalo, is one of the most influential figures in Slovak techno. For 30 years, he has consistently shaped the sound of techno with his own distinctive style. First at Účko and later at Subclub alongside Toky, he is among the pioneers of Slovak techno. His sets are dark, hypnotic, and meticulously constructed—every beat carries its own weight, every drop draws you into the electric tension of the underground dance scene. As a producer and co-founder of the Palicavonzvreca label, he defines Slovak techno and bridges the domestic and international scenes. His B2B sets with Toky, Regis, and Takaaki Itoh have become iconic moments in club history. At Radost Factory in Loktibrada, he’ll take you on a night filled with hypnotic rhythms and electronic energy. His name is synonymous with quality, and his sets are unforgettable—anyone who’s experienced his performance knows it’s an experience that resonates long after the final beat.

Hasky

He is one of the names that have long kept the underground techno scene in Bratislava alive without pandering to trends for the sake of it. His sound is rooted in groove, hypno, and raw techno, and in his sets he blends old-school elements with the current club sound. As a resident and organizer at Radost Music Club—one of the last purely techno clubs in the city—he has spent years building a community around the underground scene and connecting local DJs with international names. In addition to DJing, he is also involved in events, the RDST label, and projects that aren’t created for the sake of hype, but out of a genuine connection to techno. Over the years, he has shared the stage with names like Oscar Mulero, Dax J, Len Faki, and Reinier Zonneveld, and his sets are built more on atmosphere and build-up than on flashy moments. Hasky represents a generation of DJs for whom techno still means culture, community, and the long-term development of the scene—not just a weekend trend.

Majsko

Majsko is a fixture on the Bratislava underground scene and has long been a regular alongside Hasky at Radost, as well as at events organized by the Techno Gang collective. His sets are built on an energetic groove, a dark atmosphere, and a subtle build-up of energy on the dance floor. He is part of a young generation of DJs who grew up right in the club scene and views techno not just as music, but as a community and a lifestyle. Regular gigs at Radost and the WAX2 club have helped him develop his own sound, which works just as well in an intimate club as it does at an open-air event. Majsko represents the local scene in a natural way, but with an emphasis on consistency, atmosphere, and genuine connection with the audience. He is a prominent part of the new wave of Bratislava’s underground techno scene.
