Not exactly how I like to spend my weekend, but there you have it. Won't make it to my gigs this weekend at Café Café and Bonnefooi Bar Club - Brussels, but I'm sure my replacements will do a fine job!

Back soon.

Roy Ayers, Gwen McCrae, Roberta Flack, DJ Funk, Yam Who?, a big part of my record collection is now resting in peace in a matter of weeks. But that record collection will help keep these talented people alive, let that be a comfort.

Can't pick any mellow favourites, so let's just dance in their honour!

Finally reunited with the man Dixon. Plenty of stories to tell, so keep an eye on my page. But most of all: get those tickets in!

Ampere is proud to present a night with Innervisions co-founder, Dixon. Few artists walk the line between past and future with effortless mastery as well as Dixon. From Berlin’s underground to the world’s biggest stages, his sound remains innovative and timeless. As a curator, he has shaped the renowned Innervisions label alongside Ȃme’s Frank Wiedemann and Kristian Beyer, crafting sonic journeys that transcend music itself. With a flawless sense of balance—between control and spontaneity, tradition and innovation—his sets are hypnotic, immersive, and timeless. Step into the unknown and experience his world as the German will play an extended 3 hour set.

Sharing the stage is Red D, the mastermind behind We Play House, who first crossed paths with a young Dixon more than 20 years ago. A true connoisseur of electronic music, the Belgian DJ, producer, and label owner never fails to deliver compelling, expertly crafted sets.

Luna & Lenthe complete the line-up, fresh off a stunning debut release on the renowned Armada Music after a breakthrough year in 2024.

Over in the Vølt room, EMJIE celebrates her birthday, joined by AKIRA and a special guest to be announced soon.

Tickets will go live Wednesday 5th of February at 12:00 CET.

Artist in residence: BES Institute Boy & Erik Stappaerts. Additional design by Elias Jansen.

Hard to pick a favourite from Frankey & Sandrino's catalogue, but this one is surely the track I have played the most. The A-side is the certified dance floor killer, but this one tops it for me when it comes to taking things into the late night hours vibe.

F&S are of course our guests for the Closer night that's coming up on Saturday 15th February in Club Wintercircus. Tickets are moving faster and faster, so don't wait too long if you want to be there.

Pondering on a lot of things regarding our scene lately, but in the end all that matters is sharing the music that you love, regardless of whether it's a trend or not.

Here's a mix that started as 'let's do a mix, it's been a while' but that ultimately became a sort of where I am at now thanks to the music, places and countless hours of playing and listening over the last 33 years or so. And guess what: I'm still counting and learning.

Tracklist on request! And no, the picture was not chosen randomly.

While making a kind of end-of-the-year mix I realized I was automatically crossing genres as it all seems logical to me. In the weeks leading up to this mix I was reading the 30 Years Fuse book and realized that the open approach of Fuse is exactly how I end up mixing and playing. Very much inspired...

I'm not likely to promote things that rip me off, so no Spotify wrap from my end. But I do like to share music, so here's a picture of 10 records that have rarely left my bag in 2024 since the moment I got them or picked them back out of my collection.

Not in order of importance:

1. Âme 'Asa'
It's been a while, but Âme strikes back hard with this one. House, techno, progressive? It's got all that and can be played in any house or techno set and stand out.

2. Kerri Chandler 'Caged Bird'
Kerri delivering a classic end of the night closed and wet eyes moment. Simply divine!

3. John Beltran 'Sa Coma Blue' (Danilo Plessow Remix)
It took him a while, but when Danilo decided to make some house music again it just makes us begging for more. A stunning remix that can hold its own next to any Los Hermanos/Gerald Mitchell Detroit magic.

4. Deetron 'Running'
Any Detroit original or remix makes me sit up and take notice. Why? Because he never fails to deliver and because about once a year he makes something that you just keep on playing everywhere, because it just makes everybody move. From underground cats to innocent passers-by. Eternal dance floor power!

5. Guy J 'Just Rain'
When it comes to making progressive house in recent times this man is in a league of his own. Play this and a warm blanket gets wrapped around the room. One of the best sounding vinyl records of the year.

6. Laurent Garnier 'Le Swing Du Pauletto'
Oh boy did this legend strike hard again in recent years. From his album to his Fabrice Presents project, it's hard to pick a favourite. But this one has been a staple for me in recent months and has all the ingredients of a vintage Laurent Garnier classic.

7. Sahar Z & Guy Mantzur 'Our Foggy Trips'
More floating magic from the Guy J camp. A perfect track to take people a little deeper into trance territory.

8. Billy Ocean 'Pressure' (Stevo's Extended Club Mix)
My favourite 2 euro record from the second part of 2024. Classic house that sounds fresh as daisies and get people bumping each and every time.

9. Julie Mc Knight 'Home' (Knee Deep Club Mix)
Reconnected with this one after I picked it out as one of my favourite records from 25 years of Defected Records. Classic classic vocal house that simply makes people happy.

10. Sounds Of K 'Silvery Sounds'
An eternal secret weapon for me. How a producer can make such a brilliant record and then never again release anything is a mystery to me. But then again: this brilliance can probably never be repeated.
