DJ Palotai – Zsolt Palotai Memorial Exhibition

In memory of Zsolt Palotai, the legendary DJ who died on 18 November 2023, and at the initiation of the House of Music Hungary, the DJ Palotai – Exhibition in Tribute to Zsolt Palotai has been put together with the help of his family, friends and Tilos Radio. The exhibition looks back on a long and remarkable career with the finer details provided by countless friends, collaborators, organisers, party-goers and radio listeners. Music, photographs, videos, performances, installations comprising his belongings, personal stories, DJ sets and other accompanying programmes will light up the opening and exhibition – in a suitably eclectic fashion in keeping with the famously broad musical taste of Zsolt Palotai.

Opening: 9 March, International DJ Day – with a special opening event and live DJ performances In the House of Music Hungary’s unique Sound Dome, the Kiégő Izzók team will put together a spectacular 360-degree projection to the sound of exceptional Palotai mixes. The house’s exhibition spaces will be the scene of special tours, talks with experts and live radio shows that will together make for a worthy tribute to the intellectual and physical legacy of Zsolt Palotai / DJ Palotai. The exhibition will also offer a reminder of the musical culture of Budapest following the regime change, the Hungarian underground and the domestic electronic music scene that took shape at the time, as well as the blossoming of the DJ and party scene in the big cities, all of which the Pro Cultura Urbis award-winning Zsolt Palotai played a major part in.
