ALLIANCE CLUB invites DE RIO @ ILLEGAAL

Zaterdag 26. juli om 22:00 - Zondag 27. juli om 05:00

Brasserie iLLeGaaL, Vorst

After a memorable exchange in Tuscany last February, it’s time to welcome DE RIO to our side of the Alps. The Florence-based collective lands in Brussels for a night that celebrates what binds us: a DIY spirit, deep listening, and bodies in motion. We take over Illegaal, one of the city’s rawest and most intimate spaces, for seven hours of vibration, tension, and release.

We open at 22:00 with Ina Kaysen — a rising Brussels-based DJ driven by passion, ideas, and intention. Inspired by names like OTON, Feral and Mama Snake, she blends hard groove, dark techno and trance into emotionally charged, high-energy journeys. A warm-up built for projection and propulsion.

At midnight, the lights dim and Plastique01 enters with a live set of improvisational electronics. A resident of DE RIO and former drummer, he sculpts dissonant, psychedelic atmospheres through hands-on machines, pulling techno apart from its floor-bound expectations. Think raw textures, ambient thresholds, and ritual tension — performed in real time.

From 01:00 to 03:30, the co-founders of DE RIO, Abo Abo b2b TOMO, take control.
Abo Abo blends experimental composition, raw club energy, and performance-based practice into a singular sonic language. His sets move fluidly between hypnotic structures and chaotic impulses, shaped by years of navigating clubs, theatres, and free parties.
TOMO channels glitch minimalism, fast-paced polyrhythms, and organic textures into immersive, physically driven sets. Rooted in deep listening and years of exploration, his soundscapes dissolve IDM, deep techno, trance and post-tribe atmospheres into one continuous pulse.

Together, they’ll channel the spirit of GEON [ALC011], their new LP released the day before on Alliance Club. Nine tracks of loop-driven hypnosis and granular abstraction — and here, transformed live through intuition, structure, and the pulse of the room.

To close, from 03:30, CAAG — Alliance Club resident and vital part of our identity — takes over with her textured, layered selections. Known for her trippy, deeply curated closing sets, she shapes spaces of tension, release, and transformation. Expect hypnotic techno, shadowy psychedelia, and a closing stretch full of gravity and grace.

Let’s meet where sound becomes movement — and movement becomes memory.
