You are all invited to sink deep into this weeks Wednesday Listening Session:

HIROSHI YOSHIMURA - GREEN (Air JP - 1986)
Selected and introduced by Jan Heyvaert.

Hiroshi Yoshimura's "Green" is patience made audible — field recordings of rustling leaves and rainfall woven so seamlessly into synthesizer that the boundary between nature and electronics dissolves entirely. It doesn't ask to be listened to so much as inhabited. Where ambient music often risks coldness, Yoshimura brings a quiet warmth, a Japanese sense of ma (間) — the beauty of empty space — that makes silence feel as intentional as every note. A record that doesn't pass time, it suspends it....

Hush hour:

* Doors 19:30, needle drop 20:00 (Doors locked between 20 & 21h)
* Silent listening for the length of the main record, a selection of related records will be played before and after.
* Free entrance - limited capacity - seating only - no reservations. Come early to save your seat in the sweet spot!

Dear customers, we will continue to bring you beautiful music and refreshing drinks this summer until our closing party on the 25th of July. (Save the date! And yes, we will be open during the Gentse Feesten, keep your eyes peeled for the special programme!).

After the rigid schedule during our main season, we feel the need to loosen up and freewheel our way through till the middle of July. Please join us! So, yes we'll be open although we might not have anything on the programme and we'll have some surprise impromptu selectors.

By the way: There will be some slots open for last minute Selectors and ideas for theme nights ("One Hour Of"), so don't hesitate to contact us (email only! [email protected]) if you feel the urge to curate an evening in the coming weeks.

We would also greatly appreciate your support by joining us for a drink on warm nights. We do have some great seating out front on the street and a cozy patio in the back. With the windows open there's a cool breeze inside the bar, to enjoy the best sound in town!

See you soon!
One love

Sgroovendraaier aka McGyver the Camino driver aka Kevin De Troeyer, is a record collector and resident DJ at Café Vredeplein in Aalst.
His name is self-explanatory, he'll spin anything with a groove and then some. Laid-back, blue-eyed soul, smooth-jazz, synth-pop, yacht-rock, samba, bossa, afro-beat, electronica, funk, soul, hip-hop, trip-hop, psych, etc. His selection is so tight, it doesn't shuffle — it screws. Come and unwind!

This Wednesday we explore a timeless catalogue with

TALKING HEADS - FEAR OF MUSIC (Sire US - 1979)

Fear of Music distills late-20th-century anxiety into tense, hypnotic grooves. Its songs explore fear of cities, technology, animals, war and everyday life, yet they're delivered with wit, funk-driven rhythms, and an almost danceable sense of unease.

The album blends experimental art rock with infectious grooves, largely through the chemistry between the band and its producer Brian Eno. It is one of Talking Heads' strongest works because it transforms paranoia and alienation into music that feels both intellectually stimulating and irresistibly alive.

Hush hour:

* Doors 19:30, needle drop 20:00 (Doors locked between 20 & 21h)
* Silent listening for the length of the main record, a selection of related records will be played before and after.
* Free entrance - limited capacity - seating only - no reservations. Come early to save your seat in the sweet spot!

Stijn Ronsse took his nom de plume from an album by Spain, he likes music with a melancholic undertone and some darkness. He will amaze with a maze of ambient, doom jazz, americana, shoegaze, dark dubstep, indie, wave to drone and singer-songwriters. From Burial to Johnny Cash and Boards Of Canada to Nancy Sinatra, ooh let's get lost...
