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.

Yalta Club’s Thursday Live Session programme occurs every first and third Thursday of a given month, with doors opening at 10.30pm; tickets cost 10 leva. It features live performances of Bulgarian artists, among whom have figured Phuture Shok, Mind Trips and Tri o Five. March will see Alex Raeva on the third, and Gravity Co on the 20th.

Beloslava will be performing with the noted pianist and composer Zhivko Petrov, though in a fashion a bit more avant-garde than the norm – experiments, such as electronic remixes of her lounge-jazz songs, are allowed. Her first Thursday Live Session at the Sofia club was in October 2007.
