Horst Arts & Music Festival 2021

Leuven's nacht resident & promotor Kuba'97 played the very first records of Horst Arts & Music 2021 at the No One Is An Island stage. Seamlessly combining vibrant house tracks with the occasional progressive rollers and breaks, he set the tone for what rapidly turned out to be many devoted clubbers’ favorite hidey-hole.

On Saturday, Karla Böhm provided a top drawer warm-up set at the No One Is An Island stage. Confidently bringing her signature afterhours sound, she made it hard to grasp whether you entered a club that had just opened or were lost in a hazy warehouse in which a bunch of dedicated dancers had already been going for a day or two.

Gay Haze's finest Fais Le Beau & Vieira at Horst Arts & Music 2021 was nothing short of pure delight: a haze filled room, high beats per minute and lots, lots of sweat. Effortlessly raising the energy to unseen levels, the duo proved why they’re the widely celebrated faces of one of Brussels’ most iconic queer parties.

On the final Festival day, a flock of inquisitive listeners gathered early at Rotor’s Unglued stage. They were all ears for ‘Searching For The Body’, a Horst initiated talk in collaboration with KU Leuven.

The core of ‘Searching For The Body’ revolved from the notion (and urgency) of nightlife for societal health as well as human interaction. Despite having to miss it for a sometimes unbearably long period of time, its absence did seem to trigger a lot of reflection, new initiatives and creativity. 

We invited Serbian/Dutch artist, researcher and curator Bogomir Doringer who is doing an Artistic Research PhD at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the by Beyoncé-approved choreographer & dancer Nick Coutsier. They are joined by ’Flying On The Raven’s Wing’ Exhibition participating artist Daan Gielis and Canadian/Polish coreographer and performer Ula Sickle, who is currently a PhD researcher at KU Leuven.

The four, all coming from different backgrounds, were brought together by curator Evelyn Simons to reflect about their own practices while relating their research to the subject matter of the talk.

The Sizeable Mix Vol. 5: Sandpit Alias

Our Polychrome Radio series is turning 21 with a wonder of a selection by  ZTO. 

We met Tommy for the first time at the @oneyewitness HQ, but several other encounters on dance floors and digging sessions at @killacutzrecords sealed our connection around music. Tommy is as passionate and hard working as we are, silently but surely shaping his sound and creating his own blue print as a selector. 

This podcast showcases great class and maturity both in the selection and execution. The groove is seamless, taking the listener through different shades of minimal and tech house, guided by deep bass lines, haunting pads and very timely vocal samples that captures the mind. 

Being part of one of the most influential record purveyors comes with some responsibilities, and with this podcast ZTO takes them fully and showcases his talent and vision. We have been playing it on repeat, and are excited to share it and follow his journey as an artist. Enjoy!
