Belly up & Crssd present Stavroz and DJ TA. Hailing from the land of compromise in the heart of Europe, the four friends of Stavroz found each other in the east of Flanders. In its inception, IJsbrand De Wilde & Gert Beazar focussed mainly on playing DJ sets and creating music in which they loved colliding worlds. Only a few years later they hooked up with Maxim Helincks & Pieter De Meester to expand their DJ activities to a performing band and continued to try and find an unbeaten path in electronic music. This culminated in their delicately acoustic, organic and cinematic approach to electronic music. As a result they were awarded second place for "best producer" and "best breakthrough artist" in national awards for Belgium's electronic music scene.

Belly up & Casbah Present Kennyhoopla with Groupthink Much like color, sound consists of different shades, hues, and textures. Individuality results from the confluence of those elements. In broad and delicate strokes alike, KennyHoopla splashes sound onto tape akin to paint on a canvas.

Amassing over 100 million streams and inciting the applause of Rolling Stone, The FADER, Forbes, HYPEBEAST, and more, he shapes an often vibrant, sometimes visceral, and always vital sound with each creative move he makes in 2023 and beyond.

Sasha Koozel Reibstein’s ceramic sculpture gives form to the mysterious and often chaotic processes of creation. Reibstein recognizes the parallels between the intense collisions of heat, energy, and pressure that ultimately form galaxies, living organisms, as well as ceramic objects, and illuminates the transformative potential of such extraordinary occurrences. For her exhibition at ICA San Diego, Reibstien will present her largest works to date, the results of residences at San Diego State University and Cal State University Long Beach completed earlier this year. “The End is Near the Beginning,” which takes its title from the largest work in the show, will be Reibstein’s first solo museum exhibition in San Diego. Reibstein’s ceramic sculptures are fundamentally rooted in transformation—of the body, mind, universe, and clay itself. They are the products of expertly negotiated dichotomies: earth and space; light and darkness; life and loss; body and mind; control and chaos. “The End is Near the Beginning,” offers a meditation on the ICA’s ongoing exploration of consumption, inviting us to consider the multiple definitions of the word. “To consume” can mean both to nourish and destroy; we can consume–or be consumed–emotionally or physically. The ceramic process itself is one of transformation via consumption by fire, a process that resonates with a central theme of this exhibition: the intimate connection between life and death, and the generative potential that accompanies destruction. Though grounded in mortality, in Reibstein’s work, the cyclical nature of life offers opportunities for growth, renewal, and deep connection across time. Learn more here.

Belly up & Casbah Present Igorrr with Melt Banana and Otto Von Schirach With 2017's Savage Sinusoid, Igorrr more than proved to be a truly unique musical force - and 2020's Spirituality And Distortion cements that well-earned reputation. Slamming together disparate musical styles ranging from death and black metal to breakcore, Balkan, baroque and classical music in a manner that is as unconventional and unpredictable as it is thrilling, Igorrr are unlike any other act, and Spirituality And Distortion displays just as broad a range of emotions as sounds. "Getting stuck in only one emotion is very boring to me; life is a wide range of emotions - sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad, angry, pissed off, nostalgic or blown away," states mastermind Gautier Serre. "Life is not only one color. These 14 tracks are a journey through different states of mind I've been through." For more information visit: musicboxsd.com Stay Connected on Facebook
