Artefact Night: AliA & Artisjok Records / schntzl

• schntzl
(release show + Stan Vrebos)

schntzl is the love child of pianist Hendrik Lasure and drummer Casper Van De Velde. Being As key figures in the Belgian jazz scene, they defy all the rules of jazz by building bridges to juicy new age, ecstatic trance, and restless electronica. At the same time tender and bombastic, virtuoso and clumsy, nostalgic and futuristic: schntzl is full of musical contradictions. Their new album Fata Morgana will be released in February 2026 on VIERNULVIER Records. The duo will present the album live for the first time at STUK, in collaboration with Leuven-based scenographer and light artist Stan Vrebos.

Practical info: This concert is seated. No drinks allowed in the Soetezaal. The other concerts at STUKcafé are standing and include a bar.

• AliA
(dj, curator)

AliA took her first steps in the Leuven club scene but has since played standout sets at Horst, Dekmantel, Dour, Lowlands and De School. Armed with a backpack full of house, garage, breakbeats, and jungle, she delivers eclectic yet coherent sets. In addition to being a DJ, she’s also the founder of Artisjok Records, a label focused on groove- and rhythm-driven music by emerging artists. At STUK’s invitation, AliA curates an evening at STUKcafé, featuring DJ sets and live shows by artists connected to Artisjok Records. Programme follows soon.
