GLOBAAL ILLEGAAL w/ Rebel Up
2025-04-19 22:00 - 2025-04-20 05:00 (Europe/Brussels) | Bollinx, Rue Bollinckx, 300, Forest - Brussel, 1090, Belgium
On this special GLOBAAL ILLEGAAL spring night at Illegaal, we travel from african beats to lush caribbean vibes, from electro Maloya and strong percussion, to batida afrotech bass from Lisboa & Angola and beyond.

Laryssa KimItalo-Congolese artist Laryssa Kim serves up a fiery blend of Afro-diasporic and Caribbean sounds in her high-energy, booty-moving DJ sets. Blending classic Congolese Rumba and Soukous with contemporary Afro Pop, Shatta, Gqom, Singeli, Afro-Portuguese fusion, and Caribbean gems like Bouyon, Reggaeton, Soca and Kompa—her selections are a fast-paced celebration of rhythm, movement, and joy. Expect twerking vibes, sweaty grooves, and an irresistible flow from start to finish. While she’s known for her immersive live-electronic performances and experimental compositions, her DJ sets reveal another facet of her expansive sonic world. Curious ears from the ambient side are warmly invited to explore her solo project on streaming platforms or vinyl, with her latest album ‘Contessa’.

Moon Yé + Belzic + Jidé (Live, La Réunion / Bxl)
Bruxelles, terre de rencontres, accueille Jean Didier Hoarau pour un set métissé hybride. Aux côtés de DJ Moon Yé, du collectif Belzik et de percussionnistes bruxellois, cette rencontre donne naissance à un voyage où le Maloya traditionnel fusionne avec des pulsations électroniques. Une invitation à vibrer, danser et se laisser emporter par l’énergie du Maloya. Avec Jidé, Moon Yé, Veronica Campos, Guillaume Codutti, Romain Duyckaerts, Maria Cotsoglou, Chaska Camargo et Camille Naples.
Brussels, a place of encounters, welcomes Jean Didier Hoarau for a mixed hybrid set. Alongside DJ Moon Yé, the Belzik collective, and Brussels percussionists, this special set gives rise to a journey where traditional Maloya merges with electronic beats. An invitation to vibrate, dance, and let yourself be carried away by the energy of Maloya.

Drum&Beer #28
2025-05-01 18:00 - 2025-05-02 01:00
Drum & Beer are stepping up their game by bringing you their first night in a bigger venue, with a better soundsystem and a bigger line-up

Sola; a Manchester-based trio, founders and managers of the Grand Theft Audio Recordings label, will be our headliners. It’ll be their first time playing in Belgium. They’ve released a ton of tracks on plenty of major labels, as well as their own. Their debut album, ‘Stars Align’, was released in 2022 to great acclaim. Their style is a mash up of Neurofunk, Dancefloor, Jungle, Liquid, Rollers and Jump Up, refusing to be pigeonholed into a single vibe. This makes for exciting DJ sets with plenty of surprises

+Battery- is an artist from Hasselt, who mixes, produces and plays several instruments. His style covers most subgenres of DnB. We’ve invited him to perform a hybrid set, during which he’ll mix and play drums

Tricky Fingerz is the new project from C-TMB and Seka, two remarkable scratch artists from Brussels, who have decided to team up to produce DnB sets that leave a big place to scratching
C-TMB won the World Championship title in the scratch category of the 2023 DMC Championship, and Seka has won several Belgian DMC runner-up titles. Their set will cover most sub-genres of drum and bass

D-Bro, ace mic man of the Belgian DnB scene, will be our master of ceremony

To complete the line-up, we’ve chosen three members of our team whose sets we love: Whyam’me, who’s preparing a Neurofunk set that will knock your socks off ; as well as Dee Faze and Jordy, who’ll each perform a varied DnB set

Line up:Sola (1st time in Belgium)+Battery- (DJ + Drum set)Tricky Fingerz (C-TMB & Seka DJ set with scratching performance)Whyam’meDee FazeJordyHosted by D-Bro

We’ve been looking for a bigger venue for a while now, one where we could organise parties to which we could invite better-known artists. We’ll be going to the Brasserie iLLegaaL, an alternative venue that brews excellent beers and makes supporting culture a point of honour
Located in Forest in the industrial zone, accessible by bus (78 Bollinckx stop) and train (Forest-Midi station), with a large events room, a beautiful outdoor area with a petanque pitch and a food truck area, the Brasserie iLLegaaL has quickly become a recognised cultural venue in the Brussels region
We share many values with them, including quality, respect, tolerance and sharing. We particularly appreciate the attention they pay to the affordability of their events, the diversity of their line-ups, and the physical and psychological safety of their audience

The evening will take place on Thursday 1 May from 6pm to 1am, on Labour Day, during the school holidays.
There will be a high quality food truck at the event. More info soon.

Drum & Beer passe à la vitesse supérieure en vous présentant leur première soirée dans un lieu plus grand, avec un meilleur soundsystem et un line up conséquent

Sola ; un trio basé à Manchester, fondateurs et gérants du label Grand Theft Audio Recordings, sera notre tête d’affiche. Ils ont sorti une tonne de tracks sur plein de gros labels, en plus du leur. Leur premier album, « Stars Align », est sorti en 2022 et a rencontré un franc succès. Leur style est un mélange de Neurofunk, Dancefloor, Jungle, Liquid, Rollers et Jump Up, se refusant à être enfermés dans un style unique. Cela se traduit par des DJ sets passionnants et pleins de surprises

+Battery- est un artiste venant de Hasselt, qui mixe, produit et joue de plusieurs instruments. Son style couvre la plupart des sous-genres de DnB. Nous l’avons invité à réaliser un set hybride, lors duquel il mixera et jouera de la batterie

Tricky Fingerz est le nouveau projet de C-TMB et Seka, deux remarquables scratcheurs Bruxellois, qui ont décidé de s’associer pour réaliser des sets DnB laissant une grande part au scratch
C-TMB a remporté le titre de champion du monde dans la catégorie scratch du championnat DMC de 2023, et Seka a remporté plusieurs titres de vice-champion de Belgique DMC. Leur set couvrira la plupart des sous-genres de drum and bass

D-Bro, as du micro de la scène DnB Belge, sera notre maître de cérémonie

Pour compléter le line up, nous avons choisi trois membres de notre équipe dont nous adorons les sets : Whyam’me, qui nous prépare un set Neurofunk qui envoie ; ainsi que Dee Faze et Jordy, qui nous présenterons des sets DnB variés

Cela fait un moment que nous cherchions une plus grande salle, où organiser des soirées auxquelles on peut inviter des artistes plus connus. Nous nous retrouverons donc à la brasserie iLLegaaL, un lieu alternatif où l’on brasse d’excellentes bières et qui met un point d’honneur à soutenir la culture
Situé à Forest dans la zone industrielle, accessible en bus (78 arrêt Bollinckx) et en train (gare de Forest-Midi), disposant d’une grande salle d’évènements, d’un bel espace extérieur avec un terrain de pétanque et un espace pour food truck, la Brasserie iLLegaaL est rapidement devenu un lieu culturel reconnu dans la région Bruxelloise
Nous partageons beaucoup de valeurs avec eux, notamment la qualité, le respect, la tolérance et le partage. Nous apprécions particulièrement l’attention qu’ils portent à l’accessibilité financière de leurs évènements, la mixité-diversité des line up, et la sécurité physique et psychologique de leur public

La soirée aura lieu le jeudi 1er mai de 18h00 à 01h00, le jour de la fête du travail, pendant les vacances scolaires.
Un food truck de haute qualité sera présent lors de l’événement. Plus d’informations bientôt.

NoName 15th anniversary
2025-05-10 18:00 - 2025-05-11 05:00
─ A few words ─
In 2025, NoName turns 15.
To celebrate, we’re embarking on a ten-month journey of gatherings—drifting through Belgium and beyond, carving out spaces to dance, connect, and lose ourselves in sound.
It’s never been about size, but about the people—the familiar faces and the new ones, brought together by a shared love of electronic music. A chance to reconnect, to wander through spaces shaped by rhythm and light, to let the night unfold like it always does.
Next stop: Brussels, Brasserie Illegaal.
Expect what we do best—bold, boundary-pushing electronic artists with a distinct sonic signature.

w/ Memo Pimiento, Luz Alta, Radio Vampiro

Jeudi de psychotropiques!!
Salut! Les Memo Pimiento, Apres notre tour au Japon et au Mexique, on est de retour a notre bien-aimé Bruxelles!! Venez a la danse de fous!!

Memo Pimiento: Memo Pimiento is a daring hybrid duo featuring live producer/musician Memo (MX), known for his crazy sound effects from his analogue and digital keyboards and samplers, accompanied by the spicy pepper front woman Manon (BE), a fire starter with powerful punk energy and vocals in three different languages. Following the movement of «cumbia is the new punk», their electrifying and frenetic take on Latin American rhythms transform the traditional concept of a concert into a FIESTA. The result is psychedelic electro-cumbia: a mix of cumbia chicha (Perú) with sonidera (Mexico), villera (Argentina) and European electronic music like synthpop and krautrock. A danceable and seductive cocktail with a tropical acid twist.
https://memopimiento.com/

Radio Vampiro: Beto, better known as Radio Vampiro, hails from El Salvador and now calls Berlin home. As a psychologist, digger, radio host, and selector, he brings a diverse range of sounds to the decks. With a love for tropical vibes, cumbia, funk, and Latin funk, Beto also digs into disco, house, and breaks, creating fun, energetic sets that keep the dance floor alive. Join him for a journey through music that celebrates a mix of cultures and style!

Lvz 4lta: Originaire des forêts de Patagonie et nomade depuis une décennie à Bruxelles, Lvz4lta nous propose une curation sonore traversant divers genres et ambiances de manière fluide, en collaborant uniquement avec des artistes d’Amérique latine ou du Svd global, comme positionnement politique.
Ses sets racontent une histoire, une narration qui s’ancre dans une perspective décoloniale, nous invitant à réfléchir sur nous-mêmes, sur le monde que nous habitons et celui que nous souhaitons habiter.

Le cabaret Pink Flamin’Girls envahit la brasserie Illegaal !
Ces créatures grotesques et mamelonnées ont joyeusement tronçonné leurs éternels féminins : femme au foyer, star hollywoodienne, marquise décadente, Eve tentatrice, garçonne en perdition, dévote, et même chaperon rouge. Elles en ressortent éclopées, foutraques et truculentes, fières de vous exposer leurs échecs et leur décalage, comme autant de stigmates de leurs personnalités inimitables.
Sous le regard lubrique et bienveillant d’un maître des lieuxemplumé, elles chantent, dansent, piaillent, arrachent leursdentelles défraîchies… Bref, elles se mettent à nu, pour vous donner accès à leur trip dégoulinant de romanesque et mal-léché.

Kaito Winse (Bxl / Burkina Faso)
L’inspiration de Kaito Winse tire son essence de son village natal Lankoue. Depuis lors, il n’a cessé d’ancrer ses concepts artistiques dans le but d’insuffler de l’optimisme et d’inspirer les gens à affronter les défis de la vie avec courage. Avec une voix aussi puissante et envoûtante qu’un opéra, la scansion magistrale et le talent narratif de Kaito entraînent l’auditeur vers des vérités intemporelles. Fort d’un talent polyvalent, il joue de nombreux instruments: calebasse, archet à bouche, flûte peule, flûte toutlé et tama, un tambour réputé pour imiter la parole humaine. Entre proverbes et dictons anciens, musique et danse, la nouvelle œuvre de Kaito Winse est une invitation à trouver la force face aux épreuves de la vie. Laissez Kaito vous guider à travers les tempêtes de la vie avec sa sagesse intemporelle et ses mélodies émouvantes.https://www.kaitowinse.net
Kaito Winse’s inspiration draws its essence from his native Lankoue village. Since then, he has consistently anchored his artistic concepts with the goal of instilling optimism and inspiring people to face life’s challenges with courage. With a voice as powerful and captivating as an opera, Kaito’s masterful scanning and storytelling talent draw the listener toward timeless truths. A versatile talent, he plays numerous instruments: calabash, mouth bow, Fulani flute, toutlé flute, and tama, a drum known for imitating human speech. Between ancient proverbs and sayings, music and dance, Kaito Winse’s new work is an invitation to find strength in the face of life’s challenges. Let Kaito guide you through life’s storms with his timeless wisdom and moving melodies.

TISDASS (Niger)
Tisdass est le groupe du chanteur guitariste Moussa Kildjate Albadé. Installé à Niamey et originaire de Tchinntabarade, ville emblématique des kel tamasheq du Niger. La signification du groupe veut dire « Piliers » en langue tamasheq et fait référence aux piliers abritant les tentes traditionnelles berbères. Ce nom est le signe d’un attachement fort à une culture que TisDAss entend défendre et faire connaître par la force de la musique. Grandissant aux sons de Tinariwen, Bob Marley ou encore Dire Strait qu’écoutait son père, l’envie de se battre avec les mots et les guitares est arrivé après un traumatisme. Alors enfant, il voit l’armée de son pays abattre une partie de sa famille, elle qui chantait pourtant la liberté d’un peuple et l’espoir de jours meilleurs pour une culture millénaire.Il comprend que les armes n’engendrent que du malheur et à l’instar des pionniers du blues touareg, il apprend la guitare et écrit des chansons afin de rendre possible la paix et l’indépendance de son peuple.https://www.bolingoart.com/tisdass
Tisdass is the band of singer-guitarist Moussa Kildjate Albadé. Based in Niamey and originally from Tchinntabarade, an emblematic town of the Kel Tamasheq people of Niger. The band’s meaning means « Pillars » in the Tamasheq language and refers to the pillars sheltering traditional Berber tents. This name is a sign of a strong attachment to a culture that TisDAss intends to defend and promote through the power of music. Growing up to the sounds of Tinariwen, Bob Marley, and Dire Strait, which his father listened to, the desire to fight with words and guitars came after a traumatic experience. As a child, he witnessed his country’s army slaughter part of his family, even though they sang of the freedom of a people and the hope of better days for a thousand-year-old culture. He understood that weapons only brought misfortune and, like the pioneers of Tuareg blues, he learned the guitar and wrote songs in order to make peace and independence possible for his people.

OPTIMISTIC CLUB
2025-07-05 18:00 - 2025-07-06 05:00
The solstice arises, entering the sun as the main character era. Opening a bit wider the sky to extend its time to shine through all its shades of lights, allowing the many months long encapsulated energies to break free to the warm sunsets and fresh breezes of the open air. A never leaving sun manifesting along the mild breaks of the shortened nights through any heated concrete corner and every centimeter of bare sweating skin. An ubiquitous sun with each of its rays, bouncing as laser beams from a gemmed smile to a melting ice cube to a syncopating fader to an open heart. May we celebrate it for another year altogether.
5th of July. Same place, Brasserie Illegaal, same different feeling hitting as the first time.
6pm to 5am, long before the sunset to just before the sunrise.
Still a lot more than just a party, fun activities, stands, art, tasty food, illegaal beers and other fresh drinks.
And an extended line-up to heat the love radiating crowd above boiling temperature:

Hibotep ( SOMALIA) is a sonic warrior, genre-shapeshifter, and force of nature who defies every mold. Based between Kampala and the cosmos, she channels chaos into power, building hypnotic worlds where techno, grime, gqom, hip hop, industrial, and experimental frequencies collide with East African energy and deep ancestral resonance. Of Somali origin, DJ, producer, filmmaker, and fashion alchemist, Hibotep isn’t just multidisciplinary—she’s multidimensional. Whether performing at CTM, Dekmantel, Sonar or Nyege Nyege, her sets are wild rides through time and space: unpredictable, emotionally charged, and spiritually grounded.

Fresh Nunas (MOZAMBIQUE) will be presenting his favorite records from his private collection

OTIM ALPHA (UGANDA)

Traditional adungu and nanga harp master and singer, Otim Alpha got his musical start as a wedding ceremony leader in his native Gulu City and is one of the few musicians to pass down and preserve Acholi folk traditions. He’s also globally known for pioneering a hyper energetic electronic music genre from Northern Uganda commonly known as Acholitronix and the first artist of the Nyege Nyege roster to start touring internationally.

MC YALLAH

Kenyan by heritage but born and raised in Kampala, MC Yallah is a powerhouse in the hip-hop scene with nearly two decades of experience. A core member of the influential Nyege Nyege crew, the remarkable rapper blends conscious and futuristic hip-hop, grime, punk, and trap, creating a distinctive sound all her own. Known for her rapid, tightly controlled flow, she delivers her lyrics in multiple languages, including Kiswahili, Luganda, English, and Luo. Fierce and intense, her lyrics draw from personal experiences, often addressing women’s issues while spreading powerful messages of integrity and self-determination.

DIAKI (Mali)

Nyege Nyege legend DJ Diaki’s hard thumping live electro balani show is the quintessential African rave sound, the one that can wake even the dead, drawing comparisons to shangaan, singeli and acholitronix as well as drum n bass and footwork. DJ Diaki’s style of balani show is a live performance on laptop, mic and drum machines. With influences of coupe decale and soukous, Diaki delivers an atomic blend of traditional balani electrified with all the West African candence! Diaki has perfected his craft over the last 30 years, and risen to fame after his Boiler room set at Nyege Nyege festival 2019 where legendary DJ Marcelle called him “The discovery of the Century”.

BINGHI

Rwandese producer, DJ and performance artist Binghi brings flair and surprise to each of her sets, known to play all night sessions in Kampala or Kigali, her sound blends contemporary African electronica with UK influences, Caribbean hybrids and earlier US house and techno, connecting dots across time and space to always underlie the urgency in ecstasy. Played everywhere from Berlin to Kampala.

Authentically Plastic (UG)

As a DJ, Producer & Artist from Kampala, Uganda, Authentically Plastic’s sound is
necessarily political. Between 2018-2023, they ran a roving, riotous, club night called
ANTI-MASS; which opened up space for femme & queer artists in Uganda’s increasing-ly repressive social climate.Risk-taking in this political environment has shaped Authentically Plastic’s sound, which has an accelerated, densely layered, improvisational feel. Their fiery debut album, Raw Space, was released in September 2022, receiving critical acclaim for its fresh urgency and prismatic unpredictability.

NSASI

Nsasi is a fearless sound sculptor, core member of the Nyege Nyege collective, and a founding member of the radical ANTI-MASS collective alongside Authentically Plastic and Turkana. Known for their high-intensity DJ sets that blend hard drum, Singeli, gqom, electro, and experimental club textures, Nsasi creates relentless, addictive dancefloor pressure that often pushes 160 BPM and beyond. With fearless mixing and an unpredictable approach to rhythm, they turn every set into a live journey, navigating through radically different tempos and genres, from skittered acid to pulsating percussion.

This time we’re bringing the summer vibes to Brussels with an extended event that will start at 18h in the patio for some open-air action, and then from 22h till the morning in the club as usual !
We’re thrilled to welcome back our dear friend DON PLOK, DJ, producer and percussionist, hailing from the southern suburbs of Buenos Aires, with his ultra danceable fusion of afro-latin rhythms and deep bass ! Joining him on the bill, Brussels’ own rising star RAQL, Cape Verdean & Angolan rooted DJ with her percussive mixes of afro-lusophonic beats and tropical bangers !
Our third guest is another local artist, the amazing KOMOMO, who will gift us with her mind-bending selection of dark minimal and psychedelic techno. And as always, our Goulash Disko Brussels residents, DJ SOLEIL & RAFAEL ARAGON will bring those adriatic vibes with their trance-inducing blends of deep electronic and folkloric music !
And we couldn’t dream of a better location to host our trance-inducing rituals, our trusted and beloved Brasserie Illegaal, home of the best underground parties in Brussels !

ALLIANCE CLUB x DE RIO
2025-07-26 21:00 - 2025-07-27 05:00
After a memorable exchange in Tuscany last February, it’s time to welcome DE RIO to our side of the Alps. The Florence-based collective lands in Brussels for a night that celebrates what binds us: a DIY spirit, deep listening, and bodies in motion. We take over Illegaal, one of the city’s rawest and most intimate spaces, for seven hours of vibration, tension, and release.
We open at 22:00 with Ina Kaysen — a rising Brussels-based DJ driven by passion, ideas, and intention. Inspired by names like OTON, Feral and Mama Snake, she blends hard groove, dark techno and trance into emotionally charged, high-energy journeys. A warm-up built for projection and propulsion.
At midnight, the lights dim and Plastique01 enters with a live set of improvisational electronics. DE RIO’s co-founder and former drummer, he sculpts dissonant, psychedelic atmospheres through hands-on machines, pulling techno apart from its floor-bound expectations. Think raw textures, ambient thresholds, and ritual tension — performed in real time.
From 01:00 to 03:30, the co-founders of DE RIO, Abo Abo b2b TOMO, take control.Abo Abo blends experimental composition, raw club energy, and performance-based practice into a singular sonic language. His sets move fluidly between hypnotic structures and chaotic impulses, shaped by years of navigating clubs, theatres, and free parties.TOMO channels glitch minimalism, fast-paced polyrhythms, and organic textures into immersive, physically driven sets. Rooted in deep listening and years of exploration, his soundscapes dissolve IDM, deep techno, trance and post-tribe atmospheres into one continuous pulse.Together, they’ll channel the spirit of GEON [ALC011], their new LP released the day before on Alliance Club. Nine tracks of loop-driven hypnosis and granular abstraction — and here, transformed live through intuition, structure, and the pulse of the room.
To close, from 03:30, CAAG — Alliance Club resident and vital part of our identity — takes over with her textured, layered selections. Known for her trippy, deeply curated closing sets, she shapes spaces of tension, release, and transformation. Expect hypnotic techno, shadowy psychedelia, and a closing stretch full of gravity and grace.
Let’s meet where sound becomes movement — and movement becomes memory.
