Viola Klein 'New Chapter' record release party at Het Bos, Antwerp, Belgium, 25.10.2025.Meakusma and Het Bos are happy to announce a release party for Viola Klein's new remix EP New Chapter. The record features remixes from source material of Viola's 'Conifdant' EP and her collaboration with the Sabar Ensemble Diop from Saint Louis named 'We', released on Meakusma in 2024 / 2020, expertly rearranged and reinterpreted by Whodat, Kassem Mosse, Nidia, and Viola herself. It is a further descent into Deep House, Leftfield, Kuduro, and Mbalax. A deep dive into rhythmic and exhilarating instances of open-ended beauty.
The night is featuring appearances by Viola Klein, Kassem Mosse, Nídia, and Hill Men. It starts with DJ sets by INA and Sopa Do Dia in the bar of Het Bos.
VIOLA KLEIN (Meakusma, Viola Klein - DE) - 23.00
House music auteur Viola Klein has released on her own Viola Klein imprint, as well as on Meakusma. She runs the Bring Your Ass parties in Cologne and collaborates with musicians from Senegal and Detroit, spinning a deep and deeply emotional take on the roots of house music and the possibilities of Mbalax.
KASSEM MOSSE (Workshop, Ominira - DE) - 01.00
Long seen as one of the most original voices in modern-day house and club music, Gunnar Wendel, aka Kassem Mosse, keeps carving out his own path away from the common expectations of the dance floor. Gunnar's legendary releases on the Workshop label have cemented his reputation as a brilliant house music producer capable of integrating influences way beyond what you'd expect.
NÍDIA (Príncipe - PT) - 02.00
Nídia is an internationally acclaimed Afro-Portuguese electronic producer and DJ, part of the Príncipe Discos record label and artist collective. Her acclaimed recorded and remix work shifts from an explosive sense of space and beats, to almost tranquil moments of contemplation. Her sound is uplifting, energizing and engaging, qualities all found in her exhilarating DJ sets as well.
HILL MEN (Souvenirs From Imaginary Cities - BE) - 04.00
The two brothers behind Hill Men channel their creativity through the saxophone, recording sounds, drawing, and designing. Hiphop, dub, funk and jazz had a profound influence on their musical stance. Deeply into collecting vinyl and spending a lot of their time experimenting in the studio, they also launched the Souvenirs From Imaginary Cities record label. A deep and engaging musical adventure.

INA (Studio Néau - BE) - 21.00 (in the bar)
Ina runs a show on Eupen community radio Studio Néau where she plays the tracks that make her move, a diverse and eclectic amalgam of hip hop, house, footwork, disco, funk, jazz, raga, soul, and much, much more.
SOPA DO DIA (WAV - BE) - 20.00 (in the bar)
Sopa do Dia is the collaborative project of Joke Leonare and Luís Pedro, taking an open and intuitive approach to music, prioritizing feeling over genre and creating rich, immersive sets for dance floors and airwaves alike. Joke first is a member of the synth duo Mittland Och Leo and later co-founded the label Jj funhouse. Luís is a passionate record collector and club enthusiast whose sound collages draw on field recordings, spoken word, and found sound, often reflecting his visual art practice.
This evening is a collaboration between Meakusma and Het Bos, supported by WAV We Are Various.
