Erol Alkanuk00:00

Erol Alkan is a DJ. He is also a producer, artist, radio host, and label head. Some call him a musical wizard, while others regard him as one of the most unique figures in electronic and alternative culture of the past few decades.

Since his TRASH parties in 1997 - where he was one of the first DJs in the UK to seamlessly mix rock with dance - Erol has been pushing boundaries in dance music, constantly advancing genres. He is one of the most influential and highly respected DJs of his generation. The ultimate crate digger and knob twiddler, he effortlessly switches between styles. A man with impeccable taste whose forum was for years the meeting point for adventurous dance fans. The producer of peak-time remixes for artists like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Justice, Tame Impala, Digitalism, The Chemical Brothers, and Bloc Party. And for nearly three decades, simply one of the best DJs in the world.

"I never plan sets as much", says Erol Alkan, "the only homework I do is making sure I feel I’ve absorbed or made enough music to keep things fresh for myself. DJing for me is 50% the records you bring and 50% the ability to read the room. At best it’s like a symbiotic relationship with the dance floor."

With his legendary 2004 Bugged Out mix, he defined the electro-house sound that would dominate the dance world in the years that followed. Without clinging to the past, Erol evolves with the ever-reinventing world of electronic music. His 6mixes for BBC Radio 6, NTS Radio residency, and his Bugged In mixes show his finger on the pulse of alternative dance.

As the t-shirt says: E.R.O.L. Keeps kids dancing.

Nosedripb02:00

With his radio shows and as the label head of STROOM, Nosedrip is one of the leading underground voices in dance, experimental electronics, and ambient music. A mood-setter extraordinaire with a record collection of seemingly endless depth, he is praised for his unconventional selections and combinations, disregarding genre boundaries, with a special focus on (Belgian) outsiders—where past and present, experimental music, and club culture seamlessly merge.

Nosedrip - aka Ziggy Devriendt - took his first steps on the Bruges-based radio platform Villa Bota. Since then, his Mixcloud following has grown to over 30K, leading to a residency on NTS Radio and performances in clubs and festivals worldwide, including Dekmantel, Pukkelpop, Paradise City, and Meakusma.

Sets filled with slowed-down Belgian EBM gems. 90s rave tracks that suddenly sound like the underground anthem of the moment. Turning dancefloors upside down with obscure tracks from every corner of the world and every era in time. With Nosedrip as the conductor, the crowd moves deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of the night.

Simply put: one of the finest DJs Belgium has to offer.

Sanne De Muynckb22:00

Sanne De Muynck, DJ as well as editor and publisher of the youth magazine BLVRD, serves up a wide range of breakbeat, breaks, grime, and rave, all the way to UK bass and ghetto house. The (old-school) hip-hop and drum & bass influences from her teenage years are always recognizable in her DJ sets.
