ARNII has been deep in Prague’s underground for over a decade — throwing parties, booking DJs, and building scenes from scratch. Originally from Georgia, he’s watched both Tbilisi and Prague’s club cultures shift, break, and rebuild in real time.

In this conversation with Brad, he gets into all of it: what it actually takes to run nights and book artists, why social media is quietly wrecking people in this industry, how door policies and club dynamics really work, and what the rise of sober raving says about where the culture is heading. He also talks gatekeeping, rider horror stories, the business side most DJs avoid, and why he started calling out what’s broken instead of staying quiet about it.

If you care about electronic music beyond the surface level, this one’s worth your time.
