For the next instalment of our MTMU x ensemble parties in Berlin, one room will be dedicated to the captivating sounds of Belgium in the ’80s and ’90s. After a true revival of New Beat, Acid House, Rave and Trance throughout the last few years in the form of books, compilations and the enthralling documentary The Sound Of Belgium, we find only very few DJ’s manage to grasp and recreate the electric atmosphere found in Belgium’s rich club history insightfully: enter Geert Sermon, Max Erotic and Nick Berlin.
Club Belgique is the brainchild of Red D and San Soda. As Max and Nick, they throw parties honouring the dark, sexy and unique vibe that made the Belgian club scene pretty much the spitting image of the country itself: rather strange but mostly very interesting. Geert Sermon is the owner of Doctor Vinyl, a well-respected record store in the center of Brussels, and one of the brains behind TSOB. A rare opportunity to catch this true veteran in Berlin: expect the sound that was, the sound that is and the sound that will always be.
The second floor is hosted by Ca$hminus who invited Jamie Tiller among other talented locals bringing you a mixture of Asi Acid, Leftfield Jams, Italo, Electro, Rave, Synths and EBM.

Soundtracking the cosmic verandah of Howard Arkley’s suburban weatherboard paradise, Wax’o Paradiso’s splendid krautback discoteque consists of magic possums Andy Hart, Edd Fisher and Simon TK.
Dubbed the Dimboola triangle of lost groove, Wax’o has popped up in oating rooftop gardens, luscious convents, shipping containers, train yards, supernatural amphitheatres and smack bang under the Sydney Harbour bridge.
United by a penchant for kitsch Australian psychedelia and a firm belief that Pavlova is indeed the Queen of the dessert, the Wax’o Paradiso family is hell bent on getting you hell bent.
This is the third possum-installment at our favorite den of iniquity in Ghent during the unmissable Gentse Feesten: Charlatan. These have been proven quite legendary over the last years so make note and join us in the Barbaar side-room.
First 12″ on the MTMU edit series (ETMU), with remastered edits of a Malaysian version of Michael Jackson’s “Off The Wall” and a 70’s US funk jam on the b-side.
SOLD OUT
Second release on the MTMU edit series (ETMU) with extended/remastered edits of an afro-disco anthem on the a-side and two Filipino 80’s electro jams on the b-side, one of which a live cover of Afrika Bambaataa’s Planet Rock.
Pressed LOUD!

We managed to retrieve some vintage footage that includes Zohra singing Badala Zamana live in the recording studio. The footage comes from an interview with Joël Hannier, co-writer of the song on French television. It contains some insights on the life of the artist and his working methods.
The Zohra – Badala Zamana 7″ reissue including original and extended version will be out soon and is already available for pre-order through Bandcamp here.
The first reissue project takes us back to the year 1977 when Algerian singer Zohra recorded her first and only single.
Born in 1950 near Constantine and raised on a parental diet of traditional Arabic music, Zohra quickly took up singing and playing the guitar and kept doing so after she and her family moved to the North of France. Playing gala events and receptions during her first years in France it took an encounter with multi-talented instrumentalist, composer, arranger and conductor Joël Hannier to take her into the world of recorded music.
Joël Hannier’s experience in writing and interpreting music for ballets, television, orchestras and a vast array of French and international musicians made sure their collaboration – sung in a Berber dialect – was destined for success. The title track ‘Badala Zamana’ gets picked up by various radio stations, most notably in Arabic speaking countries.
In France the song did not go unnoticed either, but until today – although championed by Habibi Funk among a few others – it remains relatively unearthed.
The 7″ reissue will include the original version next to an extended edit for those still hungry after those original three minutes of Arab disco bliss.
