Yugotopia is a New York City-based dance project inaugurated in 2017 featuring sounds from former Yugoslavia (1945-1991). A wide variety of rarely heard pop, new wave, folk, and other finds exclusively selected by DJs Drugari - Boshko Bosković & Amir Husak. Aimed to connect the ex-Yugoslav community through pop culture references and shared memories, as well as to welcome those who would like to discover and enjoy this extraordinary discography.
In a true collaborative spirit, we were thrilled to produce this third edition of Yugotopia Dance Party and host it at our home & HEKLER HQ in Brooklyn with a backyard dance floor, music by DJ’s Drugari, live projections by Irfan Brković & Jelena Prljević, and Yugoslav graphic design inspired pins by Jelena Antanasijević.

Jugotopija je plesni projekat nastao u Njujorku koji je inaugurisan 2017. sa zvucima iz bivše Jugoslavije (1945-1991). Širok izbor retko čutih pop zvukova, novog talasa, folka i drugih nalaza u ekskluzivnoj selekciji DJ-eva Drugari - Boška Boškovića i Amira Huska. Cilj je da poveže bivšu jugoslovensku zajednicu kroz reference pop kulture i zajedničkih sećanja, kao i da poželi dobrodošlicu onima koji žele da otkriju i uživaju u ovoj izvanrednoj diskografiji.
U istinski saradničkom duhu, uzbuđeno smo producirali treće izdanje žurke Jugotopija i ugostili je u našem domu, HEKLER HK u Bruklinu sa plesnim podijumom u dvorištu, muzikom DJ Drugara, živim projekcijama Irfana Brkovića i Jelene Prljević i pinovima inspirisanim jugoslovenskim grafički dizajnom koje je napravila Jelena Antanasijević.
