Gabber Modus Operandi is the musical lovechild of DJ Kasimyn and MC Ican Harem. The duo combines dark gabber and footwork with funkot percussion and almost-ritualistic jathilan voodoo from their home country of Indonesia. GMO’s fusion of ‘the sacred, the stupid and the fun’ promises to echo in the ears of Brussels clubbers for a long time to come: this volcanic 200-bpm whirlwind of unusual combinations has already left famed venues such as Berghain in flames.

+ Orphan Swords
Raw yet sophisticated and seriously danceable live techno.

An industrial post-wave heart to pump trance through the veins of a (frenzied) dancing audience: on ‘Ascent’ – Orphan Swords’ first LP – the dark duo of Pierre de Mûelenaere and Yannick Franck combines almost meditative soundscapes with sophisticated rave techno. Caution: Orphan Swords’ live acts may cause the most exquisite heart palpitations.
