DJ NIGHT - Africalia 25

SET 1: AUNCLE BOLINGO
« Auncle Bolingo is the Founder of Queer Auncles, which is a queer initiative helping queer Black and POC get together and build community in Brussels. Besides building community, they’re also a multidisciplinary artist who started out as a DJ and producing music, later on became a Ballroom MC, and they recently also became a
full fledged cultural curator. Bolingo’s identity speaks for itself; it is unapologetically black and queer. “Bolingo' means “love” in their mother tongue, and when they get on stage, that is also the main message that they try to convey. This can be through a plethora of “feel good” music, amazing and cocky raps and freestyles, community based events, etc.»

00h SET 3 : NMSS
« NMSS (Nemesis) is an Afropean, genderfluid artist, born from the blend of French and Ivorian cultures. With dedication, NMSS stands firm in defending the legacies of Afro-descendant and Queer communities in electronic music. Their high-energy sets guide audiences through a journey oscillating between euphoric and dystopian realms. Each performance is a sacred vow to deconstruct the traditional script of a DJ set. With a genre-bending selection that spans Global Club, Bass music, Latin Core, Techno, and Hyperpop, NMSS wields their music like a sword—sharp, unpredictable, and with a touch of humor as their shield. They create a landscape where emotion is the ultimate ruler, and every beat burns with the passion of a knight devoted to their castle.»
