Timmerman (Supergay) b2b Koodoo (Tuin van Heden)

Ghent-based DJ Timmerman and founder of Supergay, has been shaping Belgium’s underground scene since 2015, known for long, hazy and intimate sessions, his selections from deep house and 90’s trance to queer club anthems and unexpected techno gems. Genuine, versatile, and always surprising, he connects deeply with the community around him.

Supergay is a nomadic gay dance party, organized by and for Ghent’s vibrant queer community. With a strong focus on highlighting LGBTQIA+ artists, Supergay aims to deliver a refreshing & safe clubbing experience.

Koodoo approaches every set as a story. Refusing to be boxed in any genre, he explores the outer edges of contemporary dance music. From bass to trance, acid to ambient, his journeys immersive, challenging and full of discovery.

De Tuin van Heden is a hidden oasis near the centre of Ghent. In the middle of the city, surrounded by greenery. A unique place where you can relax and slow down. From local residents and young talent to creative minds and culture lovers, everyone is welcome. With a no-nonsense approach and an open mind, they are building a warm place where art, music, conviviality and diversity go hand in hand. It is more than a place, it is a meeting place full of atmosphere, quality and inspiration. 


gguusstt (Grid) b2b Donckr (Radio Ruit)

gguusstt, hailing from Ghent, is driven by a deep passion for a wide variety of genres. With each set, he crafts uncompromising, bass driven soundscapes with a signature atmosphere. Blending styles and pushing boundaries, his technical skill makes each track transcend expectations—always leaving you guessing what’s next.

Grid is a Ghent-based non-profit and DIY youth collective that experiments with (club) music and club spaces. At these events, they strive to strike a good balance between sound, live visual experiences and art installations.

Donckr is a young & upcoming talent in the Belgian electronic music scene. Actively shaping his sound, he's currently focussing on blending moody and rather progressive electro & bass music, inspired by DJ's such as Helena Hauff, James Shinra, Gamma Intel and many others

Dakdak is a community that organizes dance parties. The energy created when people dance together is something dakdak aims to transform into a flowing force to keep raising awareness about social justice issues and more specifically the right to housing. Campaigning for structural change can be a real endurance test. To avoid getting exhausted by this fight, dakdak wants to turn anger and frustration into warm togetherness, movement, and music. Fighting for rather than fighting against.

Erykah is a DJ from Ghent, Belgium who has embarked on a deep journey into bass-influenced sounds and rhythmic breaks. She aims to provide dancers with a unique and sonic experience, inviting them into a whirlwind of percussion and energetic highs.

Funke is a polymorphous bar & a clubhouse for tireless dancers, curious wanderers, and dedicated audiophiles. Housed in a characterful 19th-century building on the lively Bij Sint-Jacobs square, right in the heart of Ghent, it’s a space that hums with music, art, ideas, and connection.


Pala10 (Nooit Meer Naar Huis) b2b instar (Burenhinder)

Pala10 started as a vinyl selector for the Foundation Sound System, where she cultivated a deep connection to dub and roots reggae. After a period of experimenting with mixing and digital sets, she started a residency at Kiosk radio, blending her rich dub background with more contemporary, club-influenced sounds such as dubstep and grime. Her sets are a stream of consciousness. Weaving together her moodswings, musical roots, timeless and current inspirations, Pala10 creates a captivating and dynamic soundscape.

Nooit Meer Naar Huis — [EN]: Never Going Home Again —is a Belgian collective practicing the art and sound of the sharpest edges of electronic music.

instar (they/them) is a Belgian dj and noise producer with the aim of putting their audience in a state of trance. Unfazed and always on the look out for new sounds to weave into their sonic network, they are co-founder and organiser of the non-profit FINTA+ arts and music collective Burenhinder, and a third of shoegaze band sunchaser. Working from within their community, they aim to bring fresh sounds in safer and more inclusive places to party. With Burenhinder they have successfully made a platform for underrepresented FINTA+ artists in the Brussels scene to step forward and claim their space. 

Burenhinder is a FINTA* collective consisting of 8 audio and visual artists based in Belgium. They join forces to provide a platform for FINTA* artists (female, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender) in order for addressing unequal gender relations in the arts and broader event sector. For three years, this collective was born out of a need for a strong and safe diverse network in nightlife and the arts, which they hope to increasingly shape.

*Burenhinder uses an inclusive definition of the word female and gladly welcomes trans, genderqueer, intersex and non-binary persons to their lineups
