BELGIUM BOOMS LONDON 2013
https://www.facebook.com/belgiumboomslondon2013
Belgium Booms is a week long series of parties, gigs, clubnights and film screenings celebrating the past, present and future of Belgian electronic music, from the pioneering EBM and New Beat artists of the 80s through to today’s up and coming house, electro, techno and experimental acts.
Kicking off the week Belgium Booms heads to South London and Corsica Studios and for the first time ever brings 2 of the original pioneers of New Beat and Belgian Techno to the UK, Dikke Ronny, resident DJ at the Ancienne Belgique club from 1985 to 1987 and the man credited with first developing the New Beat style and Eric Powa B, resident DJ at the legendary Bocaccio nightclub between 1986 and 1993.
Joining these Belgian legends we have the UK’s own Trevor Jackson, one of the country’s most respected producers, DJs and indeed graphic designers, responsible for the iconic artwork of Soulwax’s ‘Any Minute Now’. Trevor’s recent ‘Metal Dance’ albums, compiling hard to find EBM and Industrial Dance, perfectly captured the spirit of clubs such as Ancienne Belgique in their prime and tonight he’ll be digging into his collection to bring us a special ‘Metal Dance’ set.
Bridging the gap between Belgium’s past and present we have The Glimmers. With more than 20 officially released DJ mixes to their name including contributions to both Fabric and !K7’s DJ Kicks series the Glimmers were one of the main forces behind the ’00s revival of the Belgian music scene championing an anything goes spirit that mixed and matched everything from house and techno to rock n roll, disco and hip-hop.
Joining them we have some of Belgium’s most exciting new talents including in-demand disco and techno producer GEOFFROY MUGWUMP, whose releases on labels such as Kompakt, Throne of Blood and cult balearic imprint International Feel have all been championed by the likes of Andrew Weatherall; former Mustang member and current blog favourite ATTAR! and Moonlight Matters whose remixes of everyone from Adele to Lana Del Rey via Metronomy and Hercules & Love Affair have made him a regular at clubs such as Fabric.
