Citadelic festival 2023 

MAY 25 - 19H                    at ENSEMBLE
Ensemble Thursday Circle presents
   de Snoepfabriek (BE)
            fidget funk

As eccentric as it is fun, De Snoepfabriek creates a playground for higglers Elias D’Hooge (Skikata Ga Nai) & Arno Grootaers (Dishwasher_, Pavlove). While tinkering, these improvisers bring together influences from jazz, electronics, funk, hip hop, etc. into new ear candy that they are happy to share with their hungry audience. Think Yussef Kamaal put in the blender with Squarepusher, or Go Go Penguin going on a date with J Dilla.

Since the breakthrough of STUFF. many of those types of bands sound the same, but at De Snoepfabriek we still got the feeling that there is still a lot of room for positive development.
