Nestled amidst the industrial expanse of Antwerp's port, Stormkop stands as a beacon for the young and the culturally inclined, hosting an array of vibrant projects and events. The perfect location for a Sound of Antwerp gathering if you ask us.

โ€œ STORMKOP is an out-of-touch free state for young and not so young adventurers, living in and abandoned shipyard on the antwerp dry docks. The protagonists are children and adolescents. Together with their f(r)family, classmates, teacher, acquaintances and strangers, they are immersed in a world of art, philosophy, science, sustainability and adventures.

STORMKOP is a place where hands get dirty, knees get dirty and your heart gets kicked in. STORMKOP does not provide solutions. The search for answers is more important than finding them, the journey more meaningful than the final destination. Thus STORMKOP tells the story of somewhere and nowhere, winning and losing, trying and failing, trying again and failing again. But each time better, more beautiful and more intense....

STORMKOP likes to flutter and b(r)ow outside in an atypical industrial environment that breathes maritime heritage. STORMKOP consciously chooses the contrary, is attracted to the rough, the unrelated. STORMKOP seeks both disharmony and connection. This is how the real world enters.

STORMKOP has been on expedition in and around the Dry Docks for almost 6 years. A creative experiment brimming with self-conceived values and norms. Where every human child is seen, touched, heard and carried. The only maritime playground with cat, fish (+), rabbit and swans, where there is always something to do. More than 350,000 visitors passed in its wake. And they saw, one by one, that it was good. โ€œ

We are excited to spotlight new talent with our latest DJ contest winner, Nya Bee! Catch her live at our Club Capital Summer gathering 20/7.

โ€œSummer is coming, evenings are getting longer and people are flourishing. One of my favourite things about this period is the beautiful sunsets and the transition into nighttime as itโ€™s still warm outside when itโ€™s already dark. It is exactly this transition that I wanted to establish in this mixtape by starting off with some dreamy trance and proggy house as the sun goes down and we gaze at the beautiful sky but get ready to hop into the exciting adventure of the night, dancing to the euphoric sounds of multiple 90โ€™s electronics. Nowhere to be, nowhere to go just enjoying the moment.โ€œ

About Nya Bee:
Enter the realm of Nya Bee.
Where the boundaries of time and genre blur into a hive of sound. Zooming in on dreamy trance, liquid house, proggy sounds and the raw authenticity of 90โ€™s electronics that will guide you through a journey of nostalgia and euphoria. Using both slow and fast paced music as she loves to experiment and build up the intensity throughout her sets.

Get ready for a fresh episode of our podcast series as we welcome CMPND, whose electrifying mix is a testament to the pure essence of techno. Dive into a world where groove takes center stage, where raw energy meets hypnotic beats, and where every moment is a journey into the heart of the dance floor.

โ€œThis set has a slightly higher tempo than my usual work, but while searching for records, I consistently find very good ones that are beyond my normal reach. For this podcast, I found it enjoyable to challenge myself to explore a somewhat untouched part of my collection. This set is crafted to pull the listener deeper into the mix through a landscape of less-known gems.โ€

About CMPND:
CMPND, a.k.a. Dennis Jaamann, epitomizes the authentic essence of Techno, having immersed himself in the genre as a dedicated connoisseur since the late '90s within Belgium's vibrant nightlife.

As he delves further into production to solidify his status as a fully-fledged artist, CMPND stands poised for a significant presence in the future Techno landscape. Welcome to the world of CMPND, where the pulse of Techno beats with authenticity and dedication.

Next artist in our spotlight: White Noise! Hard & energetic fast paced techno on the menu.

โ€œMy set is a highly energetic, fast pacing and hard mix. I play a variety of underground Hard techno/industrial with the occasional commercial edit to appeal to a wider audience.โ€

About White Noise:
Antwerp based DJ White Noise (โ€˜99) started playing electronic music in 2011. Raised in Schelle by two house and techno loving parents, Yorgen was already jumping and dancing to their music since he was a child. Even at the time it was clear that Yorgen would become a musician himself.

Things got serious in 2017 when he was noticed by Crystal Events and got the opportunity to play at The Rave Cave of Tomorrowland. Things took off from there and requests came in from all over Belgium. At the age of 25 he is still improving as a DJ and producer as he is exploring the musical landscapes of Hard Techno.

During his four year musical education, he chose to master the drums. It was his interest in rhythm and his ability to create his own beats that made him choose this instrument. In time he started to experiment with electronic sounds and made a couple of Hard Techno editโ€™s of old songs. It was his remix of The Police - Message In A Bottle that got supported by famous artists in the Hard Techno scene like: Trym, Luciid, Vendexโ€ฆ

Yorgen already performed at Studio Brussel, Tomorrowland, Club Vaag, The Common, Hard Harder Hardst, Dour Festival, Vice Festival, Studio Ibiza and loads of other parties in Belgium. An insane passion for music, combined with the ability to mix different styles of music made him the promising DJ that he is today.

First podcast of the year by fresh & upcoming talent DJ CHOPPER! He treats us with a splendid mix of energetic grooves & breaks.

โ€œFrom (hard)groove, techno and breakbeat, to trance, latin groove and some sexy vocals.
Mashing up this many genres into one hour wasn't an easy task, but it makes for a refreshing & adventurous set.
I've selected some of my favourite tunes of the moment, mixed with some underrated gems.
Enjoy the ride!โ€

About DJ CHOPPER:
Up-and-coming talent 'DJ CHOPPER' mainly focuses on trance, techno, grooves and breaks.

Admittedly, the versatile DJ has a soft spot for catchy vocals, although he doesn't shy away from experimentation.
Inspired by many (sub)genres and always in for a surprise, he just might surprise you too.

As a foretaste of full circle next week, we invited for our next Artist in the Spotlight podcast. In this mix she takes us on a unique 1h trip between Electro, House & Techno!

โ€œOn my last flight, all of a sudden there was a weird kind of turbulence.. My chief and commander told me to check out the left wing. Armed with my trust against rust WD40, I left my copilot and went to the machine room. There I saw the machine-room-man slowly losing his mind. Looks like he must have made eye contact with an acidbird.. An acidbird is in the machine room?! Of course!! Thatโ€™s where the noises came from! I put on my Neptune glasses and started looking in between the machines.. must. not. make. eye contact! A drip of light got my attention and there it was! Beautiful! So wild! So many colours shimmering in the moonlight! It was exhausted and haunted. I caught it with a blanket and tried to calm it down. It started to make purry noises and became very friendly when it saw I was meaning no harm. I could see his name engraved in a ring around his fluffy claws โ€œLeopoldโ€. It made it clear it got in by accident and wanted to go out again, it asked the machine-room-man nicely but got into a discussion because he got blinded by its eyes. Thank the universe for Neptune glasses! I gave it some nutrition and it thanked me with some warm, heart filling energy! Time to open the window and set it free again.. it flew out, into the cosmos, with the intention that its feeling of freedom and grace would spread over the earth. Leaving me and the, by now totally nuts, machine-room-man with a pleasant and blessed flight towards the future."

About Microwave:
Microwave's sound consists of acid infused electro with leaking drips of techno and house, occasionally spiced with a slice of a crunchy 80โ€™s-90โ€™s tune. Playing with tensions within a various palette of track selections, sheโ€™ll grab you and take you on journey trough space and time, giving you that underground club feeling. She can cook, heat you up and turn you around. The higher the wattage, the faster the cooking time. Adapting to line-up and playtimes.

This week in our spotlight: pumping techno by !

โ€œFor this mix I chose the kind of tracks that give me inspiration when I work on my own tracks. You'll hear influences of harder, darker techno mixed with neorave/acid sounds.
At around 16 minutes I also added an unreleased track of mine called Gettin' Started. Closing the set with a dreamy, rolling mix of an modern classic dance track.โ€

About VOIT:
Tom Ghielens, producing and dj'ing under the alias VOIT out of Antwerp has been working on his sound for quite some years. Starting out dj'ing local venues and producing with his friend. Lately he's been putting in the hours in the studio under his solo project VOIT, resulting in the recent release of his track "PSMP" on Theacidmind records.
His sound is a mix of hard and dark techno with some modern acid influences. You'll hear this in both his productions and mixes.

consists of two individuals who try to deliver a sound that is rarely presented on the Belgian nightlife's menu.

Herman Crespo is deliberately not known for 39 goals at Lazio Roma. This one digs crates, loves an emotional trance-vocal and questions everything he sees. The Spanish-Belgian has been collecting and selecting the finest gems for over more than ten years, and aims to deliver eclectic and electrifying sets. Only once he forgot to include his signature piano chords. Trust us, this manโ€™s career will not end at Chelsea.

Probably electrocuted at a rave in a previous life.. reincarnated and ready to serve you acid infused electro with leaking drips of techno and house, occasionally spiced with a slice of a crunchy 80โ€™s-90โ€™s tune. Playing with tensions within a various palette of track selections, sheโ€™ll grab you and take you on journey trough space and time, giving you that underground club feeling. She can cook, heat you up and turn you around. The higher the wattage, the faster the cooking time. Adapting to line-up and playtimes.ย 

While being a lifetime long lover of the energy music brings in underground scenes, she started DJing only a couple years ago. Curating sounds that create her own high-energetic journeys. Finding a companion in Illustre, she started to extend that storytelling in an experience that goes beyond sound.

The next podcast is brought to you by Chumba! He brings us a one-hour mix full of hypnotic sounds & grooves.

โ€œ In this musical journey, I aim to create an immersive experience where the pulsating rhythms and hypnotic melodies transport you to another dimension. The groovy basslines provide a solid foundation, while the hypnotic tones weave a captivating narrative that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

As the beats progress, I explore the intricate layers of sound, gradually building tension and energy. It's a sonic adventure designed to envelop you in the hypnotic embrace of techno's raw and primal essence.

The beauty of techno lies in its ability to connect people through a shared, transcendent experience on the dancefloor. My goal is to connect with you, the listener, and guide you through this sonic landscape, leaving you with a sense of exhilaration and a desire for more.

So, as you embark on this musical journey, let yourself be carried away by the groove, let the hypnotic tones wash over you, and together, we'll delve deep into the heart of techno's hypnotic and raw soul. โ€

In our spotlight this week: Remorseless hard techno by VERBร˜V!

โ€œFor the Sound of Antwerp podcast Iโ€™ve recorded a 1 hour mixtape wich shows my style and sound. The mixtape consists of a mix between hard techno/acid/hard groove/techno. Balancing different genres together like i would do when iโ€™m performing. You can also find a production of my own (my first) in the tracklist."

About VERBร˜V:
Senne Verboven AKA VERBร˜V is a young (hard) techno dj/producer born and raised in Antwerp, Herentals, Belgium. His style can be described as hard, powerful and energetic. VERBร˜V has been a DJ for 4 years and started producing in september 2022.

The main goal when VERBร˜V performs is establishing a connection between the audience and the DJ. Mixing on the fly and combining different subgenres to keep the flow/groove going.

One of his greatest achievements would be reaching the finals of KONTEST ANTWERP out of 85 sendings. During the finals he was coached by the belgian techno legend Steve Redhead. Another one would be simply playing in different big cityโ€™s around Belgium and meeting awesome like minded people in the scene.
