Here we go again.
With still vivid images of the March party, we are finally ready to invite you to our next one. Saturday, June the 1st will be a pretty long day. This time, we are opening up our dancefloor from 1PM to 4AM.
So many friends will join us for this event, that we don’t even know where to start. Two booths, nine sets, 15 hours of music with no boundaries. Two sides of the same spectrum.
While the sun is still shining, on the outdoor stage Balleremo Sound System will warm up the day before leaving the decks to Kalax and Emmoko who are gonna drive us to the dusk and night. With the sunset, our beloved Naoto Sound System will get back to life. Aeery b2b biased and FLVXXX b2b Dj Ankles - straight from our bolognese friends’ collective Mentalita’ - will be only the appetizer for what is set to be a massive dinner. On the bill, with his symbiose between east and west, we are thrilled to host Bader, our Syrian brother whose bass heavy patterns merge with his own musical heritage from the MENA region. And dulcis in fundo, the event of the night: DJ Pitch and Simkin will share the decks for two hours for their All Centre showcase. Representing the label with them, Alec Pace, head of Early Reflex and pure italian techno/bass gem from Turin. Ortensio will take care of the closing.
Powered by Naoto Sound System.

DJ Pitch -
DJ Pitch is, in the words of the ever ubiquitous Resident Advisor, “a man of many hats”, but this should not be taken as a lack of direction. Through his tireless efforts as producer, label-head, DJ, radio host and events promoter, he has championed the ever-mutating strands of club music for the best part of a decade. Through his labels TT and , he has scoured the outer-reaches of the internet, corralling nascent sounds into a thoughtfully curated catalogue, while crucially never losing the irreverent quirks that define his findings.
As a producer, Pitch fuses a background in classical piano with the revelatory discovery of dance music in his late teens. His debut album on Edited Arts, entitled ‘It's Not What You Said It's Because You Spoke’, is his most definitive document to date, placing equal merit on compositional songwriting as it does on sub-frequencies and rhythm, sitting somewhere between the club, the sofa and the bus ride in between. The full-length sits alongside several releases on both his own labels, as well as an appearance on the ‘SHOUTS 2022’ compilation from London’s Rhythm Section International.
Label-wise, TT is ran with co-conspirators Maya Vika and Madjestic Kasual, highlighting idiosyncratic electronic music of all varieties, from experimental pop to dancefloor sidequests. Since 2014, it’s been a home for singular visions, housing early releases from sonic outliers such as object blue, Iceboy Violet and Organ Tapes. All Centre retains the experimental slant of it’s sister imprint, but with a laser-guided aim for the dancefloor, allowing it’s artists to challenge the space and reject regurgitative banality. Co-run alongside Simkin and Sobolik, the labels monthly release schedule has acted as a nurturing springboard for future heavyweights such as Yushh, Alexis and Toumba. Going forward, both labels will continue to join the dots between the URL and IRL sprawls, with consistent releases and regular club nights.
Simkin -
London-based artist Simkin brings his unique twist on the UK bass continuum in his work as a producer, DJ and co-head of All Centre. His releases on All Centre, Pseudonym and Accidental Meetings explore dark, bass-heavy territory while his DJ sets broaden out to include his range of influences, traversing techno, drill, Jersey club and more.
Alec Pace -
Turin based producer and DJ, Alec Pace creates different than conventional electronic tracks aimed for the club combining syncopated beats, field recordings and sharp synthesisers.
The Italian producer has developed an “organic” sound design for beats programming and electronic production where hyper-effected percussions and FM effects are just some of the distinctive characteristics of Alec Pace’s evolving style. Releasing his music with yet established and up-and-coming labels such as Nous Disques and All Centre, Alec ha sgrabbed the attention of influential producers and DJs such as M.E.S.H., object blue, Loraine James, Nazira, to name afew.
‘Absolute Pressure’ [All Centre-March 2019] has received praise from the press and it has been featured in ‘Best New Techno’ and ‘38 best new tracks of 2019 so far’ by Mixmag. Alec is also founder and art director of the leftfield club imprint, his latest EP ‘Future Now?’, inspired by different dystopian futuristic world, was released on his label in March 2022.
Bader -
Having a Libyan mother and a Syrian father, Bader spent his youth between Benghazi & Damascus. He grew up listening to Libyan Tagaza Majrouda rhythms and Syrian classical music. His brother DJ Khalil was one of the pioneers in the MENA region who fused his musical heritage with hip hop beats.
As a youth Bader was always passionate about art, especially visual arts. When Bader moved to Belgium he studied photography and became a videographer andvisual artist, working for numerous artists & brands. Through his work as adigital content creator for Voem, he started curating Yalla World Wide events in Ghent; bringing the cream of the crop of the alternative MENA music scene to Belgium: artists as 3Phaz, Toumba, Muskila, Cheb Runner, Asifeh, Renata and Big Murk.
At the same time Bader started dj’ing and producing music with Yalla Soundsystem together with his colleague Acid Ponch. His sound can bedescribed as a symbiose between east and west: bass heavy patterns mergewith his own musical heritage from the MENA region. One thing’s for sure: Bader kills dancefloors without any compromise. Yalla Soundsystem has aresidency and hosts a monthly radio show on the Paris based channel Radio Flouka.
