VILLA

It’s almost officially the end of summer, boys and girls. And this might be our last outdoor party for this year (depending on the weather)… So, let’s try and put all previous parties to shame!

This one shall be dubbed “Beach Disco”.

After Yuksek’s genius set and Mustang’s good vibes, we bring to you yet another DJ duo, Villa.

Originally rooted from the DJ partnership of Ghent duo Thang & Fredo, it wasn’t until the former spent some time in the home studio of his long-time buddy Francois De Meyer, aka ‘pop dirty’ that the defining shape of Villa was drawn up.

Many moons ago, these boys rubbed shoulders in the short-lived local band Foxylane, but while Thang’s DJ ambitions took him elsewhere, Francois followed his own path – which lead to being part of the line up of Belgian’s fashion darlings Vive La Fête, hooking up with The Glimmers for Disko Drunkards and crafting soulful poptunes with his own band Soapstarter. Now, the decades long club experience from Thang, paired with multi-instrumentalist Francois’ well honed studio skills, are a match made in disco heaven!

The pair are currently working on their second EP, but first they unleashed a bundle of impressive remixes, beginning with their hyper charged rework of The Human League’s ‘Night People’. A crowd favorite is Villa’s anthemic take on Adele’s ‘Rolling In The Deep’, as well as a rework of Yeasayer’s ‘I Remember’ that sounds like it spawned “out of a cloud of grilled mushrooms (the good kind)”, and their Deep Space Nine-ish remodeling of Digitalism’s ‘Blitz’.

Special Formula:The bubbly DJette (aka “Shufflette”) will be warming up the decks, and the oh-so-jumpy BCE will shut it down

Special Feature:$20 entrance at the door, and your choice of poison served inside.
