Kisses of Techno

Kisses of Techno is an underground techno collective and event series based in Zagreb, Croatia, founded by Direttore TiHaC. It exists for people who come for the music first, the kind of nights where selection and pacing matter more than trends, and where the dancefloor is treated as the main point, not a backdrop.

The sound is focused and unapologetic. Pure techno with an emphasis on hardgroove, hard techno, and hypnotic pressure, built around momentum, repetition, and release. Kisses of Techno is about flow that holds together for hours, not quick payoffs. Lineups are curated for continuity and groove, with room for long blends and long tension. The intention is simple. Keep the room locked in, keep the energy honest, and let the music do the work.

There is a clear set of values behind it. Underground mindset, soulful edge, quality over hype, and zero pretension. The crowd comes first, the sound comes first, and everything else follows. From the way the nights are programmed to the way the space is treated, the goal is authentic club energy that feels raw but controlled, intense but not chaotic.
