VIBRATIONZ - Saturday November 16
Are You ready to Bring Back Those Dayz once again?
We're
excited to present a true Icon of the Belgian dance scene as our headliner on
Saturday November 16: THE MACKENZIE!
With classic dancefloor favorites 'Arpegia' & 'I Am Free' and
radio hits that topped the charts for weeks like 'Innocence' feat. Jessy, it's fair to say The Mackenzie's influence and legacy
are undeniable.
Tom Leclercq (Zillion - Extreme), PCP (Boccaccio - Balmoral) and KayMan (Tour & Taxi - Vibrationz) will complete the line-up for another hot club night that will set Leuven on π₯
New in the VIBRATIONZ Family are the energetic Dance Acts of Radikal Crew who made their mark this summer at a.o. Ostend Beach and Tomorrowland!

The DJ's
THE
MACKENZIE's
homebase was the well known club HEAVEN where Stephane Akenan
and Patrick Fasseau DJ'ed and produced their first single 'I Am Free' in
1995 as The MacKenzie. More singles followed soon: 'Arpegia', 'Love'
and 'You Got To Get Up', some of them with Jessy De Smet on the vocals. In 1998 they switched to the Antler-Subway record label, the beginning of a
successful breakthrough. The MacKenzie feat. Jessy had their first big hit with 'Innocence'. The single
was released in June 1998 and topped the charts for 24 weeks.
When 'Falling In
Love' was released later that year, it became another hit-single that made it
to number 4 in the charts. Both singles achieved gold, selling more than 25.000
copies.
In 1999 the group again released three singles and the full album Angel which
reached the number 1 spot in the album chart. Quite an astonishing achievement
for a dance album at the time!
On November 16 The Mackenzie will play a vibrant Classics Only set from 00.30am -
02.00am.
What
a massive impression TOM LECLERCQ made at VIBRATIONZ in May.
Two hours of full on party mode with an eclectic classics set. Not a doubt in
our mind we would ask him back!
Our first moments with Tom Leclercq were at the iconic Extreme in
Affligem, back in the nineties. Tom started DJing in 1988 and it was DJ Fly who
put him in the DJ booth at Extreme and signed him on Belgium's infamous dance
label Bonzai. With residencies at Zillion and Versuz Tom was also asked to
play at the biggest international dance festivals such as Tomorrowland, Nature
One (DE), Sensation, Dance Valley (NL), Laundry Day, Summer Festival and Bonzai
Retro.
As a producer Tom has a hand in many projects and if we may choose one record
we love to play again and again it would be 'Heavenly' by Aspiral,
a project he founded with Mike "Push". Tom's motto behind the
decks: "The groove in a set is essential, if you hit that right you can
make a crowd go wild".
We expect nothing less from him on November 16 as he'll close the night with a
02am - 04am set.
He was also the DJ of the notorious radio show Rotationz on Topradio and he started his own label Rewritable Records in 2012. Since the closings of these groundbreaking venues PCP is a regular headliner at the Boccaccio & Balmoral reunions at club Kokorico.
Our DJ booth is his from 22.30pm - 00.30am and mind you PCP is determined to πππππ ππππ πππππ ππππ!
In the late nineties KAYMAN started playing opening and closing sets at Tour & Taxi in Brussels. He organised the infamous Alcatrance and Golden events and after the closing of Tour & Taxi he kept the legacy alive with the T&T by Mr K & Mr B nights. In the early nillies he became resident DJ at Barramundo in Mechelen.
His opening set of May 4 is available for you to enjoy on MixCloud. With a passion for uplifting house and trance music, KayMan will warm up the floor for our guest DJs from 21.00pm - 22.30pm.
