When it comes to music curation, La Nuyt (PJ) stands at the crossroads of eclectic taste and purist devotion. His track selection is a testament to this duality and is fundamentally anchored in the belief that groove and rhythm are not just elements, but the quintessential soul of his performance. With every set, La Nuyt orchestrates a symphony of the night, guiding listeners from twilight to the break of dawn through an auditory landscape incorporating minimal, house, disco, jazz and everything beyond. His mastery in blending these genres captures the dynamic energy of a Spanish stallion’s charge and the spirited bounce of an Italian Tarantella.
Next to selecting records, La Nuyt shapes the very fabric of the Antwerp music scene, curating landmark events like Beldeschocht, Alcazar, Palazzo, and SIS: Sound is Space. His creative energy spills over into the studio, where he not only produces his own tracks but also connects deeply with his Fender Rhodes, channelling daily improvisations.
La Nuyt has been nurturing the growth of artists such as Afriqua, Aleksandir, Sinego, Inigo Vontier, RHR, Cesrv, Vhoor, Kotier, Mosley Jr, Johannes Brecht Trio, Cellini, Ginton, Maz, Antdot, Kenya20Hz, Bora Uzer, , Deadly Jewels etc as A&R in both publishing and label services, spreading his gospel of groove far and wide.
In the past, PJ has been songwriter and multi-instrumentalist at the former synthpop formation Felix Pallas together with his brother, has written music pieces for theatre, produced sound and music for the Voodoo Village 2023 trailer.
As a DJ he played D-Edge (BR), Matiz (BR), Mia Club (MX), CORE Medellin (CO), Ampere, Filmcafé (NL), Funke, WeCanDance Festival, Voodoo Village Festival, Soulful Session, Club Vaag, Pekfabriek, De Serre, Bonnefooi, Ara Kiwi Festival, …
La Nuyt’s journey through music is a continuous celebration of rhythm’s power to unite, transform, and elevate.
