About Psst 
Psst was founded in 2018 by Souria Cheurfi as an intersectional feminist platform tackling racial, gender and economic discriminations by focusing on inclusion and representation in nightlife. To do so, the crew built their sound system Pssound. < u>https://psstmlle.space/< /u>

“The Pssound is born from a collective and political process. For the sake of coherence, and to counterbalance the predominance of white men in Belgium's musical scene - particularly sound system culture - we feel it's important that it retains its political and collective vocation. So we want it to be shared within marginalised communities - the communities that built it. “

[...] our approach as an intersectional feminist collective is deeply anti-racist and anti-colonial. Given the historical context in which sound system culture was born and the powerful symbol it has represented in the struggles of Black and Caribbean communities in the UK, we want to prioritise projects featuring people of Caribbean origin and, more broadly, of Afro descent. “

About k means 
k means has settled on a style spun more from texture and mood than any specific tempo or genre. Their commitment to the fringes is borne out in an omnivorous appetite for sound, a relentlessly exploratory approach that sees the selector fearlessly navigating the wildest terrain and loosest vibes while maintaining a laser focus on the dance floor, spinning you out only to snap you back in. they demonstrate the ability to hold crowds at a constant simmer, burbling between unease and release, throbbing tension and low-slung sleaze, finding delicate balance between the dark, the disorientating, the steamy and the sweat-slicked.
