Since 2002, Laid Back and Strictly Niceness are irrigating Brussels (and beyond) with all things soulful. We thought it would be a good idea to celebrate those 10 years together by setting up a common birthday party on May 12th with Mark de Clive-Lowe as guest.

Producer, composer, pianist & DJ, Mark de Clive-Lowe (MdCL) is also a devastating live performer. Anchored by the duality of his Japanese and New Zealander parentage and ignited by a love of playing piano at the age of four, it is no wonder this multi-national phenom has seen his explosive natural gifts blaze across the globe from NZ to the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Cuba. Currently based in LA after a decade entrenched in London, MdCL released his latest album Renegades on Tru Thoughts Records.

Venue: La Bodega, Rue de Birmingham 30, 1080 Brussels (map - rsvp)
