BLISS w/ HRTL

BLISS is a regular techno and rave series held at ARTBAR in Brno, inspired by Berlin's underground rave scene. The event offers a raw, dark, and ecstatic space where sound represents freedom and darkness creates an intimate yet safe environment. BLISS stands for techno, rave, and a dark room, but also community, safety, respect, and genuine presence or release. The headliner for the May 22, 2026 edition is HRTL — Leoš Hort, a modular synthesizer performer, founder of the Brno-based cassette label Bükko Tapes, and member of the Bastl Instruments collective. HRTL positions himself against the hypertechnological era and works exclusively with modular synthesizers, organically transitioning from atmospheric techno through danceable house to ambient and lo-fi dance music. ARTBAR is located at Štefánikova 836/1, Brno-center.
