Arts, music and culture
Keep Hush Live, Reset Brussels, Friday 18 April
London-based clubnight Keep Hush descends onto Brussels with a night of bass-driven or "bone-rattling" sounds. Curated by American selector no•ID and the experimental Artisjok Records, the party will be at the Reset club – a former bank and future police station just by Brussels-Central Station. Organisers urge people to unite at the intersection of dialogue, art, music, and dance. Bass faces ready?
