• AliA
(dj, curator)
AliA took her first steps in the Leuven club scene but has since played standout sets at Horst, Dekmantel, Dour, Lowlands and De School. Armed with a backpack full of house, garage, breakbeats, and jungle, she delivers eclectic yet coherent sets. In addition to being a DJ, she’s also the founder of Artisjok Records, a label focused on groove- and rhythm-driven music by emerging artists. At STUK’s invitation, AliA curates an evening at STUKcafé, featuring DJ sets and live shows by artists connected to Artisjok Records.
The club night at STUKcafé will kick off with the Leuven drummer Moene, who will present his new EP on Artisjok for the first time. Also premiering: his documentary short film, which tells his personal story.
Following Moene, KVR will present their second album, Spam Vol. 2. Consisting of bassist Dries Laheye (STUFF., Selah Sue), drummer Lander Gyselinck (STUFF., Lander & Adriaan, BeraadGeslagen) and synth wizard Niels Broos (Jameszoo, Binkbeats), KVR is the musical love child of these three musicians. Jungle rhythms, elastic time, open structures and organic textures come together in a lively sound that feels playful, restless and deeply intuitive.
After midnight, the DJs will pick up the pace. First up is Italian producer and Artisjok resident XL Regular, who will blast a sonic wall of house, broken beats and techno through the sound system. Next is the evening's curator, AliA, with a DJ set. Closing the night will be the legendary Belgian drum and bass duo The Untouchables, who have been exploring the dubby and deep side of breakbeats since the beginning of the millennium.

• schntzl
(release show + Stan Vrebos)
schntzl is the love child of pianist Hendrik Lasure and drummer Casper Van De Velde. Being As key figures in the Belgian jazz scene, they defy all the rules of jazz by building bridges to juicy new age, ecstatic trance, and restless electronica. At the same time tender and bombastic, virtuoso and clumsy, nostalgic and futuristic: schntzl is full of musical contradictions. Their new album Fata Morgana will be released in February 2026 on VIERNULVIER Records. The duo will present the album live for the first time at STUK, in collaboration with Leuven-based scenographer and light artist Stan Vrebos.
Practical info: This concert is seated. No drinks allowed in the Soetezaal. The other concerts at STUKcafé are standing and include a bar.
