If you’re looking for a night that doesn’t follow fast trends, but speaks the language of real, hypnotic club culture, this is your date.
Systematic Recordings was born out of the German Rhineland scene, between Mönchengladbach and Düsseldorf. Since 2004, it has grown into one of the leading house and techno labels, with a catalogue shaped by both its own distinct identity and releases from internationally respected artists such as Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Hernán Cattáneo and Robert Hood, to name just a few. More than an imported hype concept, Systematic stands for genuine club DNA, soulful house and techno with depth, emotion and lasting substance.
This showcase is for everyone who understands why club culture matters: for those who grew up with this sound, and for those discovering it now and falling in love with it for the first time. Groove over gimmicks. Emotion over effects. Pressure over plastic. No commercial festival formulas – just warm, deep, driving and hypnotic house and techno, exactly as it should be: intimate, honest and full of attitude.
At the heart of the night are Marc Romboy and Robert Babicz, two artists who have helped shape this sound for decades. Marc moves with precision and emotional intelligence, building tension and release with the instinct of a true storyteller. Robert Babicz brings the live soul of the night: organic energy, musical depth and a powerful sound design that turns the room into one shared pulse.
A special local connection comes through Maxim Lany, one of Belgium’s most respected electronic artists and a true hometown figure in Gent. His sound bridges melodic depth and club energy with elegance and emotional clarity. As a local hero on this line-up, he gives the showcase a strong regional identity while fitting naturally into the wider Systematic vision.
The opening is entrusted to Dimitri Andreas from Kortrijk with a special spatial audio live set – a rare chance to experience his music in a fully immersive way. Instead of hearing the set from a single front-facing perspective, the sound unfolds around the room, surrounding the audience from multiple directions and adding a new sense of depth, movement and dimension. It’s not just a warm-up – it’s an invitation to enter the night differently.
