BIO

For well over a decade, DTM Funk has stood front and centre in Antwerp and the Belgian

music scene. As a Deejay and as probably Belgium most interested curator/Promotor. He

serves the common denominator between soul, groove and rhythm. Focusing on these three

elements instead of being tied to any genres makes for some interesting choices. The Black

Gravity / San-Kofa Rhythm Record founder pleasantly guided an elated crowd through his

eclectic record collection, ranging from percussion-driven groovers to Jazz soul records &

sexy and raw house & Techno gems. Whether it’s an early afternoon festival or closing down

a dark club night, the dancefloor will surely be moving.

Even before becoming a respected DJ, he was already promoting sounds and artists

through his own events and curations for others. With a strong focus on local talent

alongside a global perspective, he has remained above fleeting trends, creating safer

spaces for auditive exploration of a different kind. He brought Chicago Teklife crew to

Antwerp Now, his focus is on his Black Gravity events, where he aims to represent and

transform the legacy of Black club music through club nights, conversations, films,

performances, exhibitions, and listening sessions.

As a curator, he possesses a unique ear for new music and emerging artists, immediately

recognizing hidden talent. He has provided a platform for in rising Belgian stars like Alia, as

well as international acts such as Julion De’Angelo, Carista, Suze Ijó, and many more,

supporting them at crucial early stages of their careers, long before they were headlining

major festivals and parties.
