Floating World music

"I believe that club culture is long overdue a rebrand".

What good are clubs and festivals if the people who create them can't pay their bills? What use is an electronic wonderland if none of us can afford to get in ?

Sooner or later, we need to strip dance music back to its basic elements: a sensory experience based on community, body movement and amplified sound. Embracing rebirth can transform the dance floor into something potentially truer and a more resonant experience than the rictus-grinned Technicolor spectacular of mainstream dance music.

Let's embrace that pattern of chaos and creation, lockdown and reconstruction. a rebuild from the ground-up, leading to another drop: it all becomes familiar, even reassuring - once you surrender to it. and it simply goes back to the very foundations of house culture.

"If we don’t act, we will lose what made electronic music culture powerful in the first place: inclusivity, freedom and connection".

Places like Paradise Garage in New York weren’t just nightclubs, they were silent manifestos: No divisions, no VIP tables. No distance between DJ and dancefloor. Just music and the shared rhythm of bodies moving as one.

Today, in an era where image often outweighs substance, where a lit-up DJ booth can become a shrine, we must pause and reflect. Not to resist change - but to guide it. The greatest danger isn’t evolution, it's Mega and Hyper.

So, we are standing at a crossroads; the club must return to being a blank canvas for collective emotion — not just a stage for ego or content. Lights can stay on. Stories can be posted... but we need to open the doors, not guard them. What must shine is the message, not the medium.

"Dance music's enduring beauty lies in its promise of change and the ability to express ideas and ideals together."

The explosion of social media allows newcomers – regardless of their professional background – to create successful events and leave their mark on club culture. It leads to clubbing experiences that are more experimental, more political, more novel, more niche, and ultimately, more resonant to their target communities.

The impact has extended far beyond the realm of nightlife: brand fashion collaborations, food and well-being experiences, starting record labels and throwing festivals: these are formidable cultural forces. It also reflects a growing desire for authenticity, personal style and meaningful experiences.

Brands - or Club Culture - that successfully navigate the vibe economy by aligning with cultural moods, fostering genuine community and prioritizing real-world experiences will be well-positioned for success in the coming years.

" In aligning club culture's struggles with those of a wider society, we offer ourselves a better chance of saving both".

About

About

Born at sea with a wide horizon and a unique perspective on dance culture. a selector shaped by Balearic breezes, dusty vinyl and late-night frequencies. The journey began early 90's in Ghent (BE) - a city pulsing with underground energy.

Between lectures and late nights, first records were bought at Music Mania, and soon the decks followed. Drawn to the hypnotic pulse of New Beat and the stripped-down aesthetic of Minimal Techno, the DJ path unfolded — organic, curious, always evolving.

What followed was a steady flow of shows and residencies across Europe, from smoky clubs to open-air rituals. Radio became a second home: curating soundwaves and shaping ears on Studio Brussels (BE). Floating World Music blends Balearic beats, cosmic disco, organic house and minimal textures into deeply atmospheric journeys. It’s not just music to dance to — it’s music to drift with.
