Past event

Zone out, Butternut is back

Butternut from Ghent returns to Club Wintercircus for the third time. This time, they delve deeper with a zapping compilation of sound and sensation. An evening where they cross the boundaries between techno, trance and breaky rhythms, especially for the truly curious.

Expect bouncy, danceable steppers, shrouded in psychedelic textures, surrounded by mystery and driven by deep basses that resonate through the smoke-filled dance floors. Curious energy and sonic surprises await you.

Nina Ampe and Lien De Keyser are the strong women behind Butternut, the Ghent-based queer collective that bridges the gap between techno and the LGBTQ+ community. In addition to the well-known names at their events, they also give local talent a chance to shine. Since its inception in 2020, Butternut has been enriching Ghent's nightlife with intimate, energetic and sultry parties. Five times a year, the Buttercrew calls on their like-minded collective to get lost together during an auditory massage of challenging techno, stimulating trance and groovy dancefloor burners, topped with a layer of techno, electro, progressive, tribal, nostalgia and groove. Butternut seeks to experiment with relevant artists who bring a fresh and inspiring sound that stimulates your senses. The collective is for like-minded people who are looking for exciting underground sounds and who can let themselves go in an exuberant, warm and intense setting.

About the artists
SP1N is a Ghent-based artist with a boundary-free approach to music. A lifelong music enthusiast with a background in drumming, he finds his sets connected by a red line of percussion. While he refuses to be confined to genres, his selections always feature deep bass, rich percussion, and immersive atmospheres

This time, DOSCH breaks the pieces apart, edits them live in Ableton and connects them into one continuous stream. Expect evolving rhythms, raw textures and moments that balance between structure and improvisation.

The black red moods of Keyser like to linger on the darker side of techno seasoned with a sparkle of joy once in a blue moon. She focuses on an everlasting groove with a strong love for percussion and rhythms that cause bodies to align in synchronization. In 2020 she started the LGBTQ-party concept in Ghent called Butternut, which is focused on underground artists with a strong passion for the electronic field. Served with love.

Unfazed by adapting between genres, tempos and moods Ampe infuses each set with a blend of bouncy energy and emotional touch. Always trying to tell a lil story in her own dynamic way. As a resident at Funke, where she hosts her own Amped concepts, and as a co-founder of Butternut, a concept from Ghent, she strives to bring underground sounds to the front. Always in research for cute, unique and wiggling turns that keeps you warm.
