TURBINA PSYTEK #1 w/ X-Dream
There is a mystical sweet spot between techno and trance, an experience capsule floating on the musical event horizon that some people unknowingly created back in the 90s. In this genre-hybrid singularity playing in the colors of the Aurora Borealis, the impulsivity of the sounds grows to infinity, the concepts of time and space we know collapse to give way to a special material that is outside of all frameworks and does not stand still, rather moving and morphing like mercury , which we now call: psytechno.

Since ancient times, Hungarian hospitality has been based on individual, large portions, and it was not appropriate to poke around in each other's plates. This was gradually broken by restaurants offering Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes in small portions, where we eat from shared plates and do not have to behave well.

Why is hospitality in the biggest crisis right now? Can Hungarian dishes be eaten in a shared way with others?
