Stubborn, off the hook but at the same time powerful, devoted and influential. Here you have some vital words that outline the essence of Sweet Trade. 

Born as an event company -the result of a collaboration between ‘KlanK’ and ‘Inborn’- Sweet Trade’s party concept ‘Feestgedruis’ found out that there is a better way of pumping beats into the heart of the Belgian underground scene. Driven by a strong sense of passion and devotion we therefore organise festivities that are characterized by blinding decorations and quality music, all wrapped up within a special theme. To succeed our goal we align with competent sound and decoration teams. Musical support we get from a well experienced crew of national and international artists.
 
The main idea of Feestgedruis is to create a magical atmosphere where ears are pleased, eyes are spoiled and souls are touched. The result fills us with pride. After three years we have conquered the hearts of crowds in clubs and venues everywhere in Belgium. Feestgedruis and our side projects (Les Brigands, Frivolous Fridays & Thé Dansant) have become the Belgian norm for a good night out. 

Over the past few months Feestgedruis has evolved into Sweet Trade. Today we are not only an event company but also a booking and label agency. The purpose of this makeover is to form a decisive and influential platform for electronic music and entertainment in Belgium. Our project is ambitious, with a focus on worldwide exposure. 

Our goal is two folded. First of all we want to act as a springboard for young talented artists. By offering them opportunities to perform and produce on regularly basis we want conduct them with their musical career. Beside taking care of the bookings and productions, we also encourage them and help them to grow, musically and professionally. "Most important is to create artists with a soul instead of money seeking machines." 
Our second goal is to place Belgium on the map of the international electronic music scene. By spreading out Belgian finest tunes we want to show that our tiny country is offering more than chocolates and beer. 

Everything that moves your feet and touches your soul you will at Sweet Trade, from house, tech-house till minimal techno. Although we have a wide variety of styles you always will hear the signature of Sweet Trade. Whether you will book one of our artists or buy one of their releases, we guarantee you quality and professionalism.

According to Koodoo playing music is all about telling stories. Therefore he likes to take his audience on a challenging and immersive trip along the outer bords of contemporary dance music. Don’t discuss genres with this fella, cause he hates pigeonholing. KooDoo likes to play all sorts of music; from bass to trance, from acid to ambient.

Driven by his idol Richie Hawtin & inspired by various artists and labels in the dark minimal scene, this young talent definitely earned his spot.

Massaar, born in Kortrijk, bought his first turntables at the age of 20.
Soon he started playing at the Londenbeat Café & events such as Borderline, Rotection & Click System and the infamous Lab.105dB parties at Club Basic.

His gigs are always refreshing as he spends hours searching for new music & sounds to please ears & mind. He creates his own style by mixing with the Model 1 and adding extra sounds with the Roland TR-8S. With his controllers he combines minimal techno with minimalistic clickery beats, loop based waves & deep, dark baselines.

His breakthrough came in the summer of 2010, after sending a demo to one of the creators of ‘Feestgedruis’ who immediately saw his potential.
This has lead to some very interesting & memorable bookings…starting with a warm up for Barem at the former Make Up Club and gigs at Rhakti Deï, Forest Festival, Tribes Gathering and City Parade, just to name a few of his summer highlights.

By now Massaar has played at some of Belgium’s finest clubs and festivals; Fuse, Decadance, Cafe d’Anvers, Kompass Klub , Extrema Outdoor, Tomorrowland, …and has also been invited a few times abroad by ‘Der Hut’ & ‘Moin Moin’ in Fundbureau Hamburg.

In 2018 Massaar decided to take over the Feestgedruis concept ‘Donnerwetter’, together with his good friend and partner in crime, Ode Maen. Both well-known for their extended B2B performances. 
Recently he also started experimenting with Ableton, determined to create his own sound, so keep an eye out!
