The Sound of Belgium

Celebrating the rich but untold stories of Belgian dance music, we're coming to you live from Ghent for a night in the Benelux underground.

The lucky few that are granted a spot on the guestlist can catch a screening of the definitive 2012 documentary  'The Sound of Belgium' from 17:00 - 19:00 CET - followed by a live broadcast of icons of Belgian underground music old and new.

At the end of the 80s, Belgium was taken by surprise by the New Beat, a once immensely popular, almost surreal type of dance music.  Its unexpected success, though short-lived, left an indelible mark on the next generations of Belgian musicians.  The Sound of Belgium'  is a documentary that goes in search of the spirit of a nation, telling the story that has been widely ignored by ‘serious’ music critics and the mainstream media in general.
