This week we kick of Fusion style some latin funk, jazz & disco hybrids after which we explore the deeper ends of the house music spectrum to come back with some old school (sounding) beats again.

OUR PARTY last Saturday was a big success. Lots of people dancing to the music we love. We didn’t really know what to expect of the change of venue but in every possible way it was a big hit. Even though it was hard work, we enjoyed every single minute of it all. Big up to everyone at Bronks for giving us this chance and all the work you’ve put into it. It’s a joy to work with y’all. Big up to cafe Merlo for helping us out with a few things during the night. Big up to Mezzdub and Ashley Beedle for the great sets. Big up to everyone who came and danced. You being with so many opens up new doors for us. We don’t do OUR PARTY to earn money, what we get, goes out again. If we can keep this up we might make some of our absolute, and up until now somewhat unreachable, dreams happen. Although we’ll always go for quality first. Rather than going for big names we go for DJs we know are good and who have made an impression on us.

Next edition for instance we bring over Kev Beadle. A DJ who’s been a big influence on us through his radio shows, compilations, residency at Southport Weekender & Suncébeat and the line-ups he puts together for those 2 festivals (the Beat Bar has been our favourite dancing spot for years). March 31st at Bronks.

Rests us one final big, big thank you. To all who helped us out behind the bar, at the entrance, by collecting glasses or cleaning up in the end. We couldn’t do this without your  voluntary help. We can’t stress enough how we appreciate your efforts.

More pics taken during the party are available over here.

Lots of Disco, an Ashley Beedle triplette and banging old school House. And our radio promo for OUR PARTY. Enjoy.

Yep, this Saturday it’s time for another edition of RELEASE. Again with lots of local talent we think y’all should discover and support. Musically there’s Roselien, Pomrad, Smaakwaterval and Cupp Cave. Which have all featured in our 22tracks list last few weeks and months. On the graphic front there’s mr seQ which some of you will know by his artwork for, among others, Laid Back. Expect also some exclusive screenings of videos. Most music artists profide their own visuals but when not we have VJ Matty from MonkeyRobot to help us out. The night will end with DJ-seys by Azer and the On-Point meets Onda Sonora soundsystem. All this for free from 20h on at Beursschouwburg.

RELEASE is an event organised by us, On-Point, Laid Back and Eckelwood.

We open with a Jimmy Castor tune to remember this musical legend who died in Vegas a few hours before our show to continue with a lot of low to mid tempo grooves. Old to new and back. Enjoy.

2012 started with a bang. 54NYE was by far the best New Year’s Eve party we’ve ever done. Great atmosphere, killer sound and impeccable selection of DJ’s. Enjoyed Brekbit’s set as always (he’s one of the most underrated selectors I know), danced to Funkineven’s acidic sounds, loved the vibe in the small room and liked what I heard of Handless DJ’s set. Our own set turned out to be a tad different from what we expected it to be. Far deeper and more soulful. Great to play for a crowd that pushes you in that direction. Anyway, let’s hope this has set the tone for what is to follow in 2012.

Our first couple of gigs do promise to be just that. Lots of tasty to play the best music around:
Friday January 13th – SHIIIT!!!! – Charlatan, Ghent
Saturday January 21st – RELEASE w/ Pomrad, Roselien, Smaakwaterval & Cupp Cave – Beursschouwburg, Brussels
Saturday January 28th – OUR PARTY w/ Mezzdub, Nick Blow & Ashley Beedle – Bronks, Brussels
Friday February 17th – Bar Du Matin, Brussels

Thanks to all who has supported us in 2011. May 2012 be a year that makes all your dreams come true. Hope to meet you all on a dance floor or record shop somewhere on this globe.
