Lena Willikens + Aroh + Kafim

A powerful trio at C12: Lena Willikens, Aroh DJ and Kafim.

​

Lena Willikens has rightfully earned the enviable title of “a DJ’s DJ”—a distinction forged through boundless versatility and deep word-of-mouth respect. No two sets are ever the same. Her fathomless range reflects an iceberg-like record collection, amassed over decades and constantly replenished through daily listening, connecting sonic dots, and cultivating a global perspective on what dancefloors can be. What sets Lena apart is her intuitive ability to switch gears in the blink of an ear. She teases and toys with muscle memory and anticipation, gliding between upfront UK bass mutations, motorik offbeats, and nEuropean synth oddities. Her sets prioritize sensuality and flow, weaving together sounds once thought incompatible—now seamlessly linked through her singular vision.

Hangin’ around on the streets of the Brussels Capital Region and collecting some wonderfully weird records and MP3’s along the way. Not to be pinned down in a corner or genre but with his eyes always on the prize, Aroh brings a selection of tunes deeply rooted in the archive of the subterranean music catalogues. Part of Kontakt Group and often spotted at Crevette Records. In a club context his musical style is wide-ranging, flirting with the outskirts of Wave, Techno and Rave but always transfusing them into a solid package destined to make the crowd move. While running the monthly Kontakt Group radio show on Brussels community radio Kiosk Radio you can catch him floating along the borders of (non)-electronic music.

Kafim is in it for the love of the game. A medium of unpretentious music, his hopeful and thoughtful mixes of zany basslines, moody post-punk riffs and idiosyncratic lyricism exhibit level-headed maturity and assertiveness. This son of Brussels moves seamlessly from sturdy synths to shamanic undulations in his club mixes.
