Fashion moves in cycles where old becomes new again, and so it is that electronic music from the 1980s and 90s has become the latest fashion at Sofia's Yalta Club.

Starting on November 26, every other Thursday night will be 20th century vibe night, with DJ Max & Moris, otherwise also known as Майката (The mother).

Announced as Best New Wave Selection, visitors should expect music from the likes of Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Soft Cell and Human League, Avtora.com said.

The first 20th century night will take place on November 26 2009. Entrance is free.

Dance along, and celebrate the music

Fête de la Musique started in France in 1982; since then, it has turned into something of a Europe-wide music festival. More, in fact: in 120 countries and 350 cities around the world. On June 21 2008, it will be celebrated for the first time in Bulgaria - in Bourgas, Plovdiv, Sofia, Varna, Yambol and more. The French performance group Tecktonik will entertain with its dancing and electronic house music in Sofia. DJ Master Dam and three dancers will give a demonstration in front of Ivan Vazov National Theatre from 4pm to 6.30pm; from 11pm, Tecktonik will be at Yalta Club (entrance 10 to 15 leva).

No question of what to do this weekend in Bulgaria

Call it Bulgaria's March hare madness, because for the rest of the month, there is enough going on on the live music scene to rival what we've been promised for the summer. Starting on Thursday the 13th at 7pm, with the support of the Instituto Cervantes Sofia and the Shalom Organisation of Jews in Bulgaria, the duo Shemuel Behar (baritone) and Raina Petrova (piano) will give a recital of Sephardic songs entitled Como la Rosa del Shabat. It will be held at the Jewish House of Culture in Sofia, 50 Alexander Stamboliiski Blvd (entrance is free).

Beloslava and DJ Sander Kleinenberg at Sofia's Yalta Club

Never settling for the status quo, Yalta, one of Bulgaria's first (and again, first post-communist) nightclubs, is keeping things hopping with the presence of jazz singer Beloslava at the Thursday Live Session on February 28. DJ Sander Kleinenberg of the Netherlands will follow on the 29th, with a DJ and VJ set - a mixing talent for which he has earned acclaim. Kleinenberg, who is known as one of the fathers of progressive house music, will be assisted by video artist Mark Pistoire; together the two have created a series of original mini-films that will be projected on the walls of the club.
