LES APÉROS INDUSTRIELS: 20 YEARS OF ROCKERILL!

A unique blend of punk, noise, rap, and doom, BEASTS is the first solo project from Antoine Romeo (ex-run SOFA). With a sharp debut album, *The Shearing*, slated for release in early 2025, the project is steeped in themes such as immigration, intergenerational trauma, class struggle, and social reproduction. BEASTS delivers cathartic, visceral, and uncompromising music.

On stage, the Charleroi artist, who grew up in a large family of Italian immigrants in the 90s, is surrounded by Brussels drummer Arno De Bock (De Mond) and Ghent multi-instrumentalist Stijn Vanmarsenille (Future Old People Are Wizards, Elefant).

Hallelujah Mother Helpers hail from the highest city in Europe, causing a certain lack of oxygen for its members. This results in quite a few strange noises in their compositions. What does it all mean? HMH gives their all in their Rock N' Roll – Blues music! All their all, without sacrificing a certain minimalism!

Abraxas is a completely independent and self-managed project, halfway between raw electronic music, philosophical reflection and socio-political activism. Its main objective is to shake up bodies and minds by spreading messages of individual and social self-criticism, through the prism of duality, extremes and contradictions, inherent in human beings and capitalist society.

Originally from Charleroi, Elox began his DJ career in 2008. You've likely already had the chance to hear him perform at some of Belgium's top electronic music venues (Fuse, Dour Festival, Rockerill, We Love Retro House, etc.), and during his residencies on Mixx FM. Since his debut, he has had the opportunity to play alongside big names in the electronic music scene and collaborate with renowned artists. Offering immersive and emotionally charged sets, Elox continues to transport you to his world, blending Techno, Melodic Techno, Retro House, Afro House, and pure House!

An organizer since the late 90s and a DJ for over 20 years, these are Globul's two great passions. His journey began in the late 70s with the discovery of artists like Pierre Henry, Marvin Gaye, but especially the enigmatic group Kraftwerk. The die was cast! This was followed by a passion for the entire new wave, punk, and industrial generation, through artists such as The Clash, Tuxedemoon, Grauzone, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, and Neon Judgment. It was at this time that he began hosting numerous parties and working on several local radio shows. In the late 80s, he went to Spain where he held residencies at various clubs in San Sebastian and Santander. His sets are known for being varied and heavily influenced by disco, acid, tech, and Detroit sounds—an eclectic mix of old school and new school, deep tech, and tribal rhythms. His pleasure lies in being in total harmony with the audience through an original and non-linear playlist.

Mesomorph is what you might call a true music enthusiast. Through several disciplines such as DJing, improvised live performances on hardware equipment, and sound engineering in clubs and studios, he has been exploring his own vision of energy, emotion, and body language for over ten years through a wide spectrum of electronic music: Techno, Ambient, Breaks, Deep, Trance, Bass, and many others.

Highlighting a universal substance through multiple and contradictory forms has always been at the heart of his journey, underscoring a deep desire not to conform or compromise his musical identity.

A true star in the land of the rising sun, he cut his teeth on the renowned R&S label in 1992. From then on, everything happened very quickly. He played gigs around the world, released a string of EPs, and it was with the album "Jelly Tones" in 1995 that he finally won everyone over. His powerful sound, infused with urban soul, set him apart. He was commissioned to compose the anthem for the Nagano Olympic Games, as well as film scores, all while touring the globe with his DJ set.

Considered one of the most original composers on the Techno planet, he embellishes his compositions with sound experiments that have earned him his reputation as a musical extraterrestrial.

He incorporates the bleeps of electronica into his tracks and breathes a spirit of breakbeat power into each of his beats, supported by an avant-garde approach.
Although its rhythms are direct descendants of pure and hard techno from the Tresor era, they possess a power that glues any dancer to the dance floor with immense and astonishing class, onto which tons of controlled chaos seem to pour.

Generation gap?

The young and fiery Duke will try his best to get the girls dancing to some funky Soul Garage... His partner, Barako Bahamas, who prefers the male population, will have the delicate task of sabotaging him in order to invite the young men to join the dance floor... And never mind if there's a crush at the front...
