Soundtrack by… the turntable champions who set the scene for the night. Sometimes with a minimalist, ambient noise or deep drones in the background, sometimes with a maximalist, pulsing rhythm. But always with a true DJ heart, in the right place. 
Your musical servants on Monday evening are Gevogeld Bekdier (BE), by now rightful resident DJs of Feeërieën. This Brussels-based duo says they’re simply sharing their dreamy record collection with the whole wide world. And is that Margo Maex we recognise - one third of Schroothoop? Surely not a coincidence that we’re big fans of that ‘trash’ band too (pun intended). 

“Lithuanian folk forms and spectral voices, where analogue and electronic instruments come together” (The Guardian) 
We’ll never forget the opening track Oi Toli playing at the public farewell ceremony of renowned musician Tom Pintens (Het Zesde Metaal). It was a captivating, otherworldly, beautiful start to what would be a melancholic, soothing farewell. Turns out the track belongs to merope (BE/LT). The duo, consisting of Bert Cools and Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė, quickly captured a place in our hearts. 
The duo considers their fifth and latest album, Vėjula, to be their most experimental so far. It garnered significant praise, described as “quietly astounding” by The Skinny and “bewitching” by Uncut. The album even made it to The Guardian’s prestigious list ‘The 10 best folk albums of 2024’ alongside virtuosos such as Elijah Minnelli, Jacken Elswyth (Shovel Dance Collective) and Landless. 
The Guardian: “A tonic for our troubled times, merope’s album offers total immersion into a realm of skittering Lithuanian folk forms and spectral voices, where analogue and electronic instruments come together to sound like harmonious family members. Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė sings and plays the kanklės (a Baltic box zither played in Lithuania since the 15th century) with a mesmerising power.” 
merope is bringing along a special guest: the remarkable flautist Magic Malik (FR), who previously collaborated with Laurent Garnier, St Germain, Air and Oumou Sangaré. 

Brussels DJ turns 21st-century shaman with deconstructed club sounds, field recordings and hypnotic gongs 
curated by merope 
Brussels DJ/artist Maria Green was born in Lusaka (Zambia) with Zambian and Angolan roots. After moving to Belgium in 1998 at the age of four, she started delving into her Afro-European background, which is reflected in her Afrofuturistic sets full of jungle, UK bass and garage. 
In 2025, her creative output entered a new phase, and M I M I (BE) took up the mantle of a modern-day shaman. Her hybrid live set is a meditative affair with deconstructed club sounds, field recordings and hypnotic gongs. A kind of collective healing, if you will. 
M I M I: “Embark on a transformative journey, where the depths of the abyss beckon you to sink deep within. Allow my sonic soundscape to envelop your senses, weaving a tapestry of melodies that traverse the realms of air, earth and wood.” We can think of no better backdrop for that than Brussels Park.
