Bang Bang! It s already the 5th edition of kaboom.
We wanted to know more about the fresh and funky parties that make brussels feel like a baby ass skin again!
Who's behind the kaboooom bang bang parties?
Me Klodia; I handle the bookings, the promo and the overall organization of the events.
In addition, u have the resident dj's Dave Luxe et Kesmo aka dirty K, both really good dj's with different kind of influences (house, rock, hip-hop, electro, ghetto tech, baltimore, booty bass pop, new wave, grime, etc… )
And then a group of happy party people on the lookout for good parties. They are the key of the mood of the kaboom parties. And most often it's BANG BANG ,p
What is the concept of the kaboooom parties?
It's really simple: right now, I'm booking forthcoming artists (no big names). But after a while I think I'll start to book some big headliners, but I'll always keep the idea that it's important to make people discover new artists.
Artists that are still in a phase when they appreciate the music they play. They got the party mood in them. And more important, they are dj's who look at the party people to check if the alchemy is present. I'm using the promo text as a cooking receipt :
"Mix a blast of electronic beats with explosive visuals and a crowd of party monsters ready to celebrate 'til dawn.Add a pinch of glam and a hint of rock'n'roll attitude. Spice it up with some krazy, raging, relentless, sensational magic.Those are all the ingredients it takes to get an explosive night. Shake it all fast and you'll get "KaBoOm"!!!
I have the feeling the big dj's often loose their passion once they reach success.
A dj is booked to play his style, but most importantly to make the crowd have fun, it's important to keep that in mind!
How do you define the music played on the parties?
"ça crash un max!!! 
"
From house, club, rock, hip-hop, electro to ghettotech, baltimore, booty bass and grime.
Who are the people that attend the kaboom parties?
The new generation, young people who are discovering clubbing.And the old skool generation, always ready to have fun.
Straight, gays, cool people ,) Belgian heads you can say ,)
Why in Brussels?
Because it's my hometown and I love my city! Some years ago, Brussels was the place to be for clubbing, it was on the same level as Paris or London. The real clubbers came to our country. Our capital isn't the place to be anymore, with the help of some Brussels promotors we are trying to make this clubbing vibe relive again.
Parisian people often come over to party in Brussels. London is another story, the parties there are really too high level to make London people come over here.
Kaboom resident's and guest's that blessed your parties?

And the guest for the 21st are :
Digikid 84 (folistar/playerz/fr)
From the hip hop movement, he quickly discovered the art of beatmaking and took influences out of that to make an electric sound.
The BPM of DG84 goes faster and the sound is changing into a sweet mix of pop, hiphop, new wave.
He's always been a fan of the 80s and everything connected to to it
( A-HA, Boy Georges, Michael Jackson, TOTO, Eurythmics, ..) even the old cartoon's "generic" music where the old generation is still attached to.
Digikid84 gives us an anthology of all the music he likes and he mixes it with heavy and powerful drums to give a maximum of effect.
French Fries (clekclekboom/street tease/fr)
AT the age of 14 MR FRENCH FRIES aka "Valentino Canzani" listened to hiphop made beats for some rappers and touched for the first time a pair of turntables, mixing hip hop , funk and FAVELA CHIC.
At 15 he's a resident DJ and started producing BAILE FUNK, BALTIMORE CLUB MUSIC, and concentrate himself on ELECTRONIC and B-MORE CLUB.
He participated in the making of the music for the movie "Cherche Fiancé Tous Frais Payés". At 16 he was invited to be part of an online music store (www.clekclekboom.com) with artists like DJ SANDRINHO, KAZEY & BULLDOG, DJ GERO, TOMB CREW...
In 2008, he got signed by STREET TEASE for his compilation. At that time he started to play in several music clubs like PARIS PARIS, RESPECT ETE D'AMOUR, LE REGINE, REX CLUB, FAVELA CHIC...
Why should we come to a kaboom party?
To have fun, listen to bumpy sounds, to forget the week before.
What's your plan for the future?
