About Me

ENGLISH :
In 2002, Brussels was a desert funkwise. Since the legendary Fool Moon venue closed its doors, the unstoppable thirst for soulful black music was growing and growing amongst the fans and dancers. Brussels being an all electro and r&b soup city, 3 dj's, funk fans and above all, friends, decided to set up a funk night over the city . Not that we were alone though. Other guys played deepfunk, soul and hammond grooves, reggae and rocksteady, disco or afrobeat... everyone doing it in its own zone, its own corner. But the 3 made the crossover between the varieties of black music with the will to make those butts and hips shake until the break of dawn. We love to share our passion for black music. We don't hide the labels of the records we play, we are happy to answer questions about the records we play, we are glad and proud to make the public discover classics, rarities and the latest releases.
Imagine Zapp meeting Carleen and the Groovers, Antibalas meeting Lee Perry, Cameo meeting Jimi Hendrix or even MAW meeting EPMD ... Mix it up together, you get STRICTLY NICENESS.
At STRICTLY NICENESS, we play a large range of black soulful music : funk, deepfunk, soul, disco, boogie, latin booms and afro baps ... @ The Biberium (ex Flanagan's, near the Central Station), every second saturday of the month , EXPECT TIMELESS CLASSICS AND DISCOVERIES, RARITIES AND INSANITIES IN FUNK, SOUL AND BEYOND.
NEDERLANDS :
Ano 2002 was Brussel een spreekwoordelijke woestijn voor funk. Sinds de legendarische Fool Moon de deuren gesloten had, groeide de ..bare honger naar zwarte muziek met soul onder de fans en de dansers. Brussel was vooral een electro en r&b stad, en daarom besloten 3 djs, funk fans, maar bovenal vrienden, om een funk nacht voor de stad te organiseren. We waren echter niet alleen. Anderen speelden deepfunk, soul en hammond grooves, reggae en rocksteady, disco of afrobeat. Iedereen deed zijn ding in zijn eigen niche. Maar de drie zorgden voor een crossover tussen de verschillende genres van zwarte muziek. Wij verstoppen nooit de labels van de platen die we spelen, we beantwoorden graag vragen over onze platen en we zijn blij en trots om ons publiek te laten kennismaken met klassiekers, zeldzame platen en de allernieuwste muziek.
Beeld je in: Zapp speelt samen met Carleen and the Groovers, Antibalas samen met Lee Perry, Jimi Hendrix of zelfs MAW samen met EPMD. Mix alles samen en je krijgt STRICTLY NICENESS.
Op Strictly Niceness spelen we een breed spectrum van zwarte muziek met soul: funk, deepfunk, soul, disco, boogie, latin, afro @ The Biberium (ex Flanagan’s, vlakbij het Centraal Station) elke tweede zaterdag van de maand. EXPECT TIMELESS CLASSICS AND DISCOVERIES, RARITIES AND INSANITIES IN FUNK, SOUL AND BEYOND.
FRANCAIS :
En 2002, Bruxelles etait deserte au point de vue du funk et de la soul. Depuis la fermeture du legendaire Fool Moon, l'inextinguible soif de musiques soulful grandissait sans cesse parmi les fans et les danseurs. Bruxelles etait alors une ville presque entierement dediee a l'.electro et au R&B fa..on soupe. 3 dj's, fans de funk et par dessus tout amis, deciderent alors d'organiser une soiree FunkSoul dans la capitale. Nous n'etions pas seuls dans ce cr..neau. The Oran-Ization, entre autres, jouait du deep funk, de l'hammond groove, etc, mais globalement, chacun le faisait dans son coin. Les 3 (kwak, Eleven, Bernard Dobbeleer) ont r..ussi .. faire la jonction entre ces differentes varietes de musique avec la volonte de voir des hanches et des fesses bouger jusqu'a tard dans la nuit. Nous aimons partager notre passion pour ces musiques, nous ne cachons pas les disques que nous jouons, nous repondons aux questions concernant nos selections, nous sommes fiers et heureux de faire decouvrir au public classiques et raretes, incunables et sorties recentes.
Imagine Zapp qui rencontre Carleen et Ses Groovers, Antibalas mix.. avec Lee Perry, Cameo qui croise EPMD ou les MAW en promenade avec Tito Puente ... Secoues le tout et tu obtiens un cocktail intitul.. STRICTLY NICENESS ... ou nous jouons une grande variete de styles : latin booms et afro baps, funk, soul, hip hop, disco, boogie ...
