Kastani 48 (Samelin boot factory)
Tickets: presale in Fienta 7€ / 10€ at the door
​
Over the years we have lured wanderers to dance in a boiler house, a police station, under a bridge, in a metal factory, on a beach, in a horse stable, a Chinese restaurant, a hangar overgrown with grass, and even a haunted nightclub.
This year, we invite you to the legendary closing party in an equally legendary venue – the Samelin boot factory. New life will pour into the emptied factory halls, filling them with light, color and electrifying performers who’ll shake you out of your place.
​
But this isn’t just a party. This is a game.
Who are you when no one’s watching? What part of you, usually pushed aside in the daylight, longs to come out in the night’s dim glow? Wear the dream outfit of your shadow self – the one that’s been waiting for the right moment. That moment is now.
Set your nocturnal alter ego free, bring them to the boot factory to dance and play among others like them.

LIVE: Scvmfvcks
DJ: Luurel Varas
DJ: Klmn
Scvmfvcks is a punk duo with a diverse range of influences from both instrumental and electronic music, blending hard-hitting elements with softer, more exploratory sounds. Emphasizing the concept of a musical journey, they maintain an anti-establishment stance against the commercially oriented techno scene. @dharma.doom and @rycls360 aesthetic and genre choices vary often, ranging from gqom and hardcore to ambient. ​

Luurel Varas is a Tallinn-based musician and DJ who, in recent years, has been releasing club-oriented electronic music (such as the LP “244 ALF” and the EP “Nekodancer”). Over time, he has explored a range of styles, played in bands (Vesi Päästab, Mees Inc, Seltskond Pargis), and collaborated with fellow Estonian artists like San Hani, Eik, glenwashere, and others. His DJ sets clearly reflect his turn toward club music and dancing, blending Eastern rhythms, dark gangster moods, and internet-age aesthetics. At the UIT party, Luurel Varas will play an all-original set.
​
Klmn, one of the most inspiring figures in the Estonian underground dance scene, has elevated it to new heights. Based in Tallinn, the DJ has spent over a decade cutting his teeth at the capital’s best clubs and events – and it shows: Klmn stands tall as one of the most celebrated selectors in the country. Possessing a refined understanding of the dance floor, backed by a meticulous passion for digging and excellent technique, Klmn is not bound by genre, time or place, but rather by an approach characterized by maturity and openness – a rare combination nowadays.

Gruuvikütt aka the Groove Hunter wasn’t born – she was rendered. Legend has it that she appeared on the monitor when Illustrator froze and After Effects got stuck in a loop. Gruuvikütt appears when you’ve had enough work and just want to groove to a nice beat. She is the co-founder of the DJ collective Sümbioos and one of the organizers of the event series of the same name. Gruuvikütt’s music selection is hypnotic, minimalist, and simply a pleasant rhythmic flow.
