BLOCK PARTY DE L’ELEPHANT

In other June happenings, we’re chuffed to be part of the first edition of Fete de l’éléphant, a free festival by Molenbeekers for Molenbeekers, with a day of musically adventurous proposals from all walks and talks. On the bill: the Albanian dance tunes of Melos Rouge et Noir blending into Devon Rexi’s sci-fi dub spiralling into Younes Zarhoni’s sufi chants, all rounded up by the physical selections of the NGHE team and the infectious festiveness of the local fanfares passing through. More info coming soon on the kraak.net, but for the moment mark thine calendars for June 24 at Parc de la Fonderie in Molenbeek 👐

OUT NOW;:;:; GR*ZE KRENT

It’s not a release or a show or a shitpost::: it’s KRAAK's new music zine finally seeing the light of day!!
