Driven by a passion for discovering music; deacon has built a formidable collection spanning from downtempo through psychedelic techno to a deep progressive all containing a homogeneous groovy energy and impeccable sound design.

Full bio:
Driven foremost by a passion for discovering new music; Matthew Deacon has built a treasure chest of audible gold and has been sharing these gems with dancefloors for over a decade now.

A varying palate for sound led to the discovery of psychedelic techno in 2017 and prompted a rebrand under his namesake with a more focused sound. Hooked by the layers, depth, vast variety of sounds and intrinsic musical nature the genre presented led to the emergence of the soundscape we know as Deacon.

As time progressed he started discovering more music, artists and labels representing these similar characteristics; at a higher tempo there was deep/dark progressive, a lighter side of Zenonesque, and slowing things down with a reinterpretation of downtempo, akin to pitched down techno. And whilst these can be considered three distinct genres, they all hold a similar energy; with deep basslines, organic elements and impeccable production, and Deacon enjoys navigating between them. Carefully selecting tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to the event and lineup with one purpose: to bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.

Dan Forhouse is a representitive of the age old tradition we have come to know & love as House-Music

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!

genres are dead, bass for days, kaputtraven, basic bangers.

What started in 2019 was merely 2 guys sharing a passion for electronic music and all its various avenues. Fast forward a few years and you’ll find these two deeply invested in sounds of deep, indie, cosmic and progressive sounds, while still on the search for radical frequencies to add to their distinctive sound, also known as jet fuel. 

Fuse Bossie's relentless love affair with disco and house in all its forms with Burger's remarkable ability to find harmony amidst a multitude of musical landscapes, an extraordinary synergy emerges.

In the past few months they have been included in lineups alongside some of the biggest names such as Roman Flugel, Damon Jee, Thomas Von Party, Adam Ten & Mita Gami to name a few.  They've also had the privilege of playing at some of South Africa’s most sought after festivals such as Wolfkop Weekender, Billy’s Beach, Sexy Groovy Love, Pangea, Tropical Roast and Bazique. 

With a keen sense for sonic detail and a never ending urge to find those goosebump moments, these lads’ love for the groove makes it impossible not to move.
