Singing along with Helena Lauwaert ahead of our Gare Centrale rave.

Once a year, during Listen Festival, you can rave in the Brussels Central Station. This year, the tempo is shooting up like a TGV, showcasing a cutting-edge selection of DJs including Belgian Helena Lauwaert. Helena was everywhere on the festival circuit this past summer—and rightly so. Her fresh, joyful sound makes you dance with a smile. Singing along is not a crime. We caught up with Helena for a proper chat.

Renaud Deru brings 30 years of experience to Umi: sitting down with Brussels nightlife “tonton”.

With a career spanning over three decades, Renaud Deru stands as one of the most enduring figures in Brussels’ nightlife. A quiet architect of the city’s sonic evolution, his track record reads like a who’s who of seminal spaces and scenes—Dirty Dancing, Libertine Supersport, Jalousy, Sono Ventura… the list goes on. His latest chapter is Umi, where he now curates Saturday nights in a venue revered for its heavyweight sound system.

Talking all that drum and bass with the legendary duo The Untouchables.

Helping us trace the connections between drum & bass and Brussels across the past three decades are The Untouchables—the legendary producer outfit and DJ duo of Ajit Steyns (Nitrox) and Kate McGill (Kay). Performing at Fuse during this year’s Listen Festival, their story is an intriguing testimony to how music travels and how city scenes inspire one another.

Les Halles de Schaerbeek: bringing back music at the front of the legendary venue.

On Friday 07.11 we're bringing the legendary British duo Leftfield to the Les Halles de Schaerbeek. Another surprise event at Les Halles will be unveiled in September, and trust us this will be a big one.. Time for a conversation with Les Halles' Artistic Director Matthieu Goeury and Anouk Grimaud, who, as assistant to the Technical Director, also oversees safety at the venue.

Loverman in the Basilica of Koekelberg: A Sacral Balance Between Day and Night

The Basilica of Koekelberg. It’s the most striking location of Listen Festival — a name that resonates. Everyone in Brussels knows the towering structure watching over the city like a sturdy gatekeeper, but who’s ever actually been inside? On Tuesday, November 4, there’s a rare chance to explore the basilica as none other than Loverman will perform live within its walls.

Low End Theories With ojoo

One of the musical experts curating a night this year is Moroccan-Brussels artist ojoo. On Saturday, 8th of November, they take over C11, the second room of C12 with Demdike Stare, Mama Matrix B2B Hans Arsen and themselves on the line-up. A few months ahead of the festival, we met up with ojoo at Brasserie Atlas in Anderlecht.

Musings on the importance of scenography in club culture and a conversation with Every Island.

With the Gay Haze & Spek Weekender getting it's own proper place in the calendar from 6-9th of June, we headed to Buda BXL for a sit down with Every Island, the design collective that will develop the scenography for our 40+ hour In & Outdoor party.
