April playlist launch party

ELLE O‘zbekiston presented the April’25 playlist, curated by music editor Dima Mitch together with DJ Mone. Trendy rhythms and Mone’s signature sound infused the Gravity Bar with vibrant energy and stylish beats. The event was supported by Pepsi Zero and Li-Ning.

Performers appeared in total looks by Li-Ning, echoing the playlist’s spring mood. The outfits styled by Regina Bikulova, perfectly adapted to the party’s aesthetic. In the warm and lively atmosphere, Chortoq quenched everyone’s thirst. Tables were adorned with fresh flowers, mirroring the playlist's concept, and QR cards linking to the playlist allowed guests to keep the night’s vibe with them.

On the event format and artist selection, Dima Mitch shared: 

“Above all, we want to support young artists. DJ Mone was involved in compiling the April playlist – we shared a similar vision, and his taste really spoke to me.

We curated a playlist with trending sounds, gloss-pop – it’s exactly what we love, and it reflects the ELLE O‘zbekiston code.

The track selection process starts with a concept. Once we have that, we select music to match. This playlist turned out to be both trendy and very spring-like. Spring is in full swing in Tashkent – everything is green and we conveyed that feeling.”

“I really love the vibe here. When I came, I wasn’t sure what to expect – I just knew it was a playlist presentation. But the format was unfamiliar, and I can say it feels entirely different from other events. The informal setting is welcoming, and the music really sets the mood.”

“I attend ELLE O‘zbekiston events often and try not to miss them. When I saw the promo for this one, I knew I had to come. I expected something a bit more laid-back, but was pleasantly surprised – it exceeded expectations. This event stands apart from previous ones, and I noticed many people from the creative and fashion industries, which is where I work, so I was happy to see familiar faces. The atmosphere is extremely fashionable.”

“The music definitely gets you in the mood – it makes you want to socialize, meet people, and talk fashion. Networking has already happened! I also noticed there are more people here than usual – many more. I’d absolutely attend the next playlist launch. The crowd is intriguing – progressive youth, unique and creative individuals. I’d love to be part of this energy again.”
