Inhale Soundsystem is a group of two guys who build their own soundsystem and now use it to organise events. One of them is a dear friend of mine, and no, I did not put it here just to promote him, but because of the records they choose to play and the sound they make they are wonderful. And if you happen to be around town whilst they organise an event, I would for sure recommend going and checking it out. If you are able to meet Arno (in the pic), then just tell him I ended up here via Jeroen.
Antwerp has quite a big Dub subculture and regularly offers dub parties, that's why I would like to include this way less talked about part of the city. These people are also always very respectful and it's just about dancing together.
Depending on what event they (help) organise, it differs what transport to take. Mostly, the bike stays the easiest because I mean this is a bike city and you have a lot of freedom. But it will also always be reachable by car and mostly by public transport.
There is nothing more to say than to just enjoy their dub, jah bless!
