On the 25th of April 2015 Foton, FoAM and the Beursschouwburg present a special threefold birthday party. The following artists are invited to help us make the evening a truly special one: | Foton, FoAM and the Beursschouwburg have their birthdays in 2015. Foton and FoAM their 15th, Beursschouwburg their 50th. On the 25th of April we’ll celebrate with a joint audiovisual party - FO(am)tones (aka Fotones Special Edition). Expect a peculiar blend of electronic music styles, visual media, edible and tactile materials to be fused in a memorable synaesthetic evening. |
| |
| We will begin in a meditative atmosphere, a dark 'horizontal' listening space. Lophorina eases us into the evening with her minimalist trip through silence and chaos. Her sound flows into Mahadev Cometo’s melange of Indian sitar and electronic rhythms, followed by abstract resonances of Angel. Peter van Hoesen’s Berlin-techno coax us to move from intently listening to merrily dancing to Lowdjo’s booty & bass in a crescendo to meet Antz with his Jamaican joie de vivre. Filastine & Nova’s energetic percussion and melancholic vocals brings us back to the gritty reality of a globalised world and 6siss closes the evening with his quiet, cinematographic fade-out. All the while we are immersed in FoAM’s otherworldly ambience, constructed from light, air, pixels and recycled materials. |

Lowdjo moved to Brussels in 2000 and explored the more experimental side of the music spectrum. Using soundscapes, drones & noise in his mix combined with breakcore, elektro and jungle. He joined Foton Records in 2004 who organised the legendary FOtones-nights in Brussels, Belgium and abroad. Since 2000 he performed in Belgium and abroad, alongside musicians as Einstürzende Neubauten, Pole, Peaches, Emir Kusturica & No Smoking Orchestra, Patric Catani, Koçani Orkestar, Venetian Snares or Dj Rupture. Lowdjo’s sound takes the audience on a journey with his ethnic beats extra-ordinaire: Thaï pop, Tropicalia, Syrian Tekno, Cumbia, Iraki Choubi, Balkan bass, all this laced together by a tantalizing mix of contemporary electronix. Lowdjo takes you on a dizzying trip exploring the globe's weird musical heritage. | Lowdjo is a dj with a range of alter-egos. He has an extremely varied taste, making him one of the most eclectic djs in Belgium. Lowdjo's sets are a journey through ethnic beats extraordinaire, laced with a tantalizing mix of contemporary electronics. He has a varied menu of assorted vibes that he's been using over the last 15 years to set dance floors on fire and keep people on their toes in over ten countries and two continents. You never know what comes next. Recently he's been releasing limited edition tapes on Discrepant (UK) and Comphusion (BE) that almost instantly sell out. For this special birthday edition he'll prepare us a bass-heavy electronic set, aimed straight at the dance floor, |
