Niels Orens
Driven by technology, this young new talent is constantly searching for new ways to generate sound. The harmonious cohesion between his acoustic and electronic sounds results in a colorful palette of emotions where your soul can relate to. Combining the rhythmic patterns influenced on breakbeat with spatial sound design and deep bass sounds, he provides a unique sonic experience.
With influences like Max Cooper, Floating Points and Massive Attack, it becomes difficult to discern the intersection between different genres which allows him to make room for something new.
As he continues his interrogation between the intersections of music, technology and visual art he extends the boundaries of electronic live performances.
Max Cooper
Max Cooper has carved a unique space as an audio-visual artist with a science PhD and an international reputation as a leading electronic musician.
His work carries an emotional resonance and sensory immersion, often focusing on humanity’s placein the world. He merges electronic music and visual art with scientific enquiry through installations, live performance, immersive audio-visual experiences, a range of digital media and award-winning music videos.
Unspoken Words is Cooper’s 6th studio album and the latest in an impressive back catalogue that dates back to 2007, when he juggled studying Computational Biology with being resident DJ ata local techno club.
He recently supplied the music for a powerful video narrated by Greta Thunberg and Pope Francis and played at COP26, urging world leaders to consider climate and environment in Covid recovery plans. Last year, he became the first techno artist to play at the Acropolis in Athens, Greece.
Other work includes commissions from The Barbican, France TV, AND& festival, Waltham Forest Borough Council, and collaborations with Zaha Hadid Architects, The Babraham Institute, and L-Acoustics alongside musical reworks of contemporary classical musicians including Philip Glass, Nils Frahm, Terry Riley and Michael Nyman and pop artists Hot Chip and Moby.
His label, Mesh, is keenly placed to explore the intersection of music, art and science through interdisciplinary creative collaborations that blur lines between art, mathematics, film, choreography, sciences, architecture, psychology and spirituality.

Brecht D (aka soane) has been obsessed with electronic music since the early 1990s and has since been working as dj, promoter and decorator. Since 2017 he's also the man behind the Kortrijk-based MOL RECORDS where all these elements come together. The label focuses on IDM, downtempo electronica and ambient without borders. In his dj sets this eclectic mix is further expanded to what he himself calls 'spacedance' going from italo disco over electro to acid and techno. Spacedance in the Club of the Future!
Goose
GOOSE, a Kortrijk band founded over twenty years ago, continue to sound innovative with their new energetic and emotional album 'Endless'. This Belgian four-piece band, known for their mix of electronic music and rock, has rediscovered themselves by returning to their roots and focusing on their mutual bond.
'Endless,' their first album in five years, is a result of their shared passion and urge to experiment in their own Safari Studios in Kortrijk. Here they find the freedom to experiment and develop their unique sound. The band members, each with their own personalities and musical interests, emphasize the importance of their group dynamics. The collaboration with French producer Victor le Masne and the recordings at the famous Motorbass Studios in Paris took the album to a higher level. Every track on "Endless" is thoughtful and intense, from the rock guitars and
clinical electronics to the club influences and emotional songwriting.
GOOSE, now engaged on an international tour, see 'Endless' as a new beginning, an affirmation of their artistic freedom and interconnectedness.

Bring your reusable water bottle to our club!
Bring your reusable water bottle to our club!
We want you to stay hydrated while our artists are working up a sweat. That's why we offer you unlimited free filtered and cooled tap water. Bring your own reusable water bottle and fill it as much as you like. Thanks to ROBI's self-service water taps, there's even no need to ask for it at the bar.
There's a number of reasons why we do this. First of all, we want you to be safe and healthy. Drinking water while clubbing is simply a good idea. Especially in places where alcohol is served, we strongly believe in serving free water. Drinking plenty of water in between your other alcoholic drinks helps you enjoy the party much longer. It's called zebra drinking and it's highly recommended!
Of course, there's also an environmental side to all this. We want to avoid single use plastics as much as possible, so no small PET-bottles will be used in the Club of the Future. They only create a bunch of waste that can be avoided. Besides, bottled water needs to be transported by trucks that cause tons of CO2 emissions. Tap water transports itself right to where you want it, no trucks needed.
In conclusion: tap water is healthy, safe and delicious, especially when it's being cooled and filtered by our dear friends from ROBI. So bring your bottle and drink plenty of it!
