A weekend at Peti Kupe in Zagreb

Last weekend, Kasheme celebrated another cross-border collaboration. We teamed up with Peti Kupe, a renowned music club in Zagreb, to host an exceptional event. The lineup featured not only our Kasheme DJs and co-owners, J’peux Tim and RUMI, but also Ilija Rudman and Chicago house legend Chez Damier.

“Last weekend, we touched down in Zagreb to bring Chez Damier to Petit Kupe, and right from the start, it felt like something special was about to unfold. Sven picked us up with the best energy, got us settled, and from there, things just started flowing. Vladimir and Zeljko took us around, through the old town, sharing stories, soaking in the pulse of the city, and getting a feel for what was to come.

Later, we met Antonio, the backbone of Petit Kupe, and Ilija Rudman, a true musical soul. Chez Damier arrived, and we all gathered around a table full of incredible Balkan food, laughter, and good conversation. The night was taking shape, and the pulse of it kept growing stronger.

Doors opened, and J’peux Tim & RUMI set the tone with soulful sounds. Then Chez Damier stepped in and took over – disco, soul, and that raw Chicago bass rolling through the room. The dancefloor was pumping, people showed up from all over the country, locked in. Just when we thought we had peaked, Ilja pushed it even further, each track hitting just right, carrying us straight into a sunny morning.

This was a special one. Big love to Zagreb family, Antonio, Ilja, Vedran, Vladimir, Zeljko, Sven and everyone who danced with us. Until next time!”
