Fun(ky) Ghent & Brussels based collective by residents Kairos & Safé 🌻🌪 Umtzi Bumtzi represents a joke gone too far.
(2)
Created during an intoxicated back to back DJ set somewhere in the rooftops of Ghent and quickly followed by simple-minded chortling, Umtzi Bumtzi quickly became a placeholder word and even an endearing nickname between the two creators and resident DJ’s Kairos and Safé.
The truth is we’re still coming down from last weekend. 💫 The amount of support, the quality of the music, and the feedback we got were all just out of this world.
Thank you to each and everyone of you for filling up amigo with your incredible energy, to our guests whose sets were absolutely phenomenal, and to amigo amigo for hosting our party in their amazing location. ❤️

2022 was groovy as hell! We met some amazing artists and dancers, threw great parties, and dealt with some weird promoters! Looking back, it has been the most Umtzi Bumtzi year to date - and it's all because we had fun. So as we reminisce together, here are our favorite records of this year (some might sound familiar!) so that you can go into 2023 with a smile 🌈🌻
Special thank you to We Are Various Radio for the initiative!

Consistently proving herself through deeper digging at every event she plays - including Horst Festival, C12, Listen Festival, Stelplaats, and a regular on Kiosk Radio and Bruzz - her name has been increasingly on the lips of the Belgian scene lately with reason.
Her sound is funky, groovy, always spot-on, and very representative of Umtzi Bumtzi’s artistic direction. Remember the name, you’re not going to want miss her this Friday as she controls Café Charlatan’s main room for the peak time slot! 💥😊
