Bulex

Remember

In the early 90's, on each first Saturday of the month, neighbors of a 'Dominique Speeckaert' were swamped with beats... And that's how the story began. At first some peeps having a drink at small exhibitions with some friends... Then more friends, more people... But all those people were too much weight for the floor and the walls couldn't be pushed. Then Bulex moved to the Plan K's refinery. Later, the non-profit organization put its turntables in incredible and often disused places, sometimes legally, sometimes not... For example, Maison du peuple located on the Saint-Gilles square, Mommaerts Street, 'Van Volxem Avenue or Heysel had successively hosted tones of revelers, always ready to party. In 2006, Bulex dropped anchor at the shipping school, not far from the canal. Classrooms, gymnasium, dining hall, ... 2000m² of space and 1000 to 1500 night owls at the doors on each first Saturday of the month... But the organization was fired in 2009 and finally found its last resort, 300m away.

Rebirth

Out of the picture since 2009, the rebirth of the Bulex seems to be planned for next March. Stuff will change, a new boss: Jonathan Giacomelli, monthly events happening each time in different places, real varied music programmings and more... . And obviously, the essential quality of Bulex, its cultural and festive aim, is kept intact. Bulex stays a real meeting place, thanks to cross-fertilization and its famous open-mindedness. Bulex events are always up-to-date and timeless, also welcoming kids of the first members! Even if the Bulex's place always changes, it will always be part of the Brussels urban culture. The Bodéga will probably be the beginning of a long series of monthly parties for the Bulex Renova. From March 2012, each time a different place, each time a new concept... Stay in touch...
