Presented by The Grey Space, curated by Vox supreme.
The next edition of Moving Downstairs, where concerts and performances, immersive sound pieces, collective experiences and clubbing push the boundaries of our basement.
The club event happening on the first of October is curated by DJ, producer and label owner Vox supreme and puts a focus on live acts. Expect everything from hybrid mutated strains of live electronic rave music to low-paced sound experimentation. On this night of exploratory audio and visual surprise all can change within the blink of an eye. This playful approach is not only for the ear but will also be tangible in the dynamic use of light and space.

Mystery swirls around the UK producer John T. Gast. Typing his name in the search engine is much the same as leaning over a cliff. We hardly know anything about the British producer, if in fact, he is British at all.
His output has been distributed through numerous releases; documented under various aliases. Focused on the visceral physicality of sound and its capacities to engulf and subvert, Gast’s projects include various collaborations. John T. Gast has evolved into a prevalent name in the peripheral club scene, with a live show that deeper explores low-end frequencies and galloping FXs.
“We’ve heard excursions into the moods and melodies of early music and experiments with classical composition. His productions can also include the pace and sounds of grime or industrial techno, the tribal and rhythmic spirit of Irish folk, and the nostalgic pastoral sentiments of some British jazz … Often tracks are driven by a beat inspired by his interest in hard-hitting, low-end dub, roots, and steppers.” – Meg Woof (The Wire, March 2020).

Vox supreme is a moniker of artist Lounes Doulache. A notorious figure in the scene by way of DJing and hosting events at clubs and festivals across the borders to holding residencies at Echobox Radio, Kiosk Radio, and the now-defunct Strange Sounds From Beyond festival, running his label traumgarten and founding the Onderwereld collective.
Performing under his alias Vox supreme, he is never quite satisfied with simply churning out dance floor fillers, preferring to blur the boundaries between genres and toy with the expectations of the audience and his own.
Moving Downstairs is a monthly program with concerts and performances, immersive sound pieces, collective experiences and clubbing in the basement of The Grey Space. Depending on the setting, the audience might be seated, standing, dancing, behind a screen or moving through the space. For each edition The Grey Space invites a different guest curator.
Moving Downstairs is made possible by the City of The Hague.
