The Basement Project presents: Dim Kelly (All Day I Dream)

A night of pure sonic alchemy, deep emotion, and electrifying grooves - The Basement Project is bringing the one and only Dim Kelly to the decks for an unforgettable journey through sound. Hailing from Brussels, Dim Kelly has carved out a unique space in electronic music, blending the ethereal melodies of Organic House with the pulsating energy of Club House. With releases on All Day I Dream, TRYBESof, Armada, and Reworck, his music strikes the perfect balance between emotional depth and dance-floor energy. Basement Project Resident FRANZIV sets the stage with lush organic textures, fat basslines, and groovy kicks, priming the room for a night of total sonic immersion. This is a classic Basement Project event where you’re bound to see familiar faces, old friends, and new ones waiting to be made. Dance freely, express yourself without fear, and be part of a community that goes beyond the dance floor. Because at the end of the night, it’s about more than just the music - it’s about the love, connection, and energy we create together. ***We are committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive space where everyone can express themselves freely.
