Line-up

Nebula

On Friday June 26, Brussels collective Nebula takes over the Tieks decks. Known for their residency on Kiosk Radio, the collective blends bass and afro and Latin American rhythms. For the occasion, they're bringing along Endor and their Caribbean-Portuguese-African sound laced with hip-hop and funk, $iCA straddling jungle, hyperpop and garage, Medouz and their hip-hop, soul, funk and percussion eclecticism, Rrita Jashari closing out the night with dancehall and R&B energy, and Styn for a deep dive into a hybrid world where dubstep, juke, kuduro and dub techno collide into one devastating set.

Brux

Brand-new hip-hop collective BRUX brings an overload of rising talent from the Brussels scene. The dream team: Yannish, Maty, Leblanc, AX, Flexou, Fresh Boogie, Ide Snake, Sarkis, Tweede Dag... Ruthless bars guaranteed! With their EP BRUX’AILES in their pocket, they have been setting stages all over Flanders on fire, with our own Couleur Café CLUB as the cherry on top, of course. On Saturday, June 27, it’s their turn to ignite Le Tieks with the rock-hard beats we’ve come to know them for.
