The Fold at the GPO presents The Glimmers, aka Mo and Benoelie, and SISI on this Saturday 6 October at 11pm.

Back in 1987, Mo and Benoelie were DJing for Ghent's youth every weekend, playing all sorts of music, which was loved in those days.

Back then they already reasoned that they should never shut themselves off from any style of music, that every blend, every genre, every movement was theirs for the taking.

Over there, 12-inches were purposefully pitched down and extended, the result being a deep, metronomic, groove-laden experience, which later would be labelled as Belgian New Beat. Also back then; they made their first trip to Ibiza.

A couple of years later, when there was only house music being played in clubs, Mo and Benoelie were seen as the 'outsiders' in the Belgian club scene. Soon they started to develop a loyal following, which would later result in a new scene in Ghent's diverse but booming nightlife.

Tickets, €12 are available on the door on the night.
