Próximamente will go out caliente! Gelatina, Brussels-based party platform founded by Ricky Corazón (Chile), sets the night on fire. Expect a queer party that brings together Brussels’ Latino scene: an inclusive safe space where we go loco together to the sounds of neoperreo, reggaeton, cumbia, dembow, baile funk, Latin club, ...A mover las gelatinas! Line-up RICO RICA (Colombia — Montreal) Latin club at its most restless. Rico Rica takes the codes of the party — deconstructed reggaeton, guaracha, champeta, dembow — and pulls them apart in real time, letting the percussion breathe, the bass stutter, the samples slip out of place. It is a hybrid set: DJ and live performance in the same body, which is exactly where it belongs. She has just released a new single, and it is a serious statement of intent — the kind of record that sounds like the future of the dancefloor arriving early. Come hear it where it was meant to be heard.SHILITA (French — Colombian) Two homes, two bloodlines, one set. Shilita moves between reggaeton and salsa with the ease of someone who never learned to keep them apart — the sharpness of the urban club against the warmth and swing of the tropical tradition. It is a DJ set built on instinct and heritage, and it lands soft, hot and heavy all at once.MALDITA VAINA MALDITA VAINA — Dominican Sudanese DJ and multidisciplinary artist, based in Itabo, Dominican Republic (they/them/elle). Her/his profile describes the project as "a fantastical queer and irreverent Caribbean (post) club wake", and the sets juxtapose Caribbean riddims, African electronica and Afro- and Arab-diasporic club sounds — running through dembow, bouyon, dancehall, baile funk, cargo tech, Afro digital and Afro-diasporic club. The curation is explicitly centred on Black, trans and queer producers. Selected works include a DEMBOW VOL. 1 mix and a guest mix for Foundation.FM in London. Also a Prince Claus Fund awardee.RICKY CORAZÓN Chilean by birth, Brussels by life. Ricky Corazón is a DJ, curator and organiser whose eclecticism is the whole point — a sonic journey from cumbia to guaracha, by way of Latin house, tribal, neoperreo and dembow. Founder of the Gelatina parties and co-founder of Viciosa, he builds festive, inclusive spaces that celebrate queer and Latinx diversity. A heart-on-the-sleeve selector who turns a room into a chorus.Four artists, four ways of understanding Latin club music. One night. Bring your people, bring your body, and stay until the last record.
