BIMFEST 2020 CANCELLED! :(
It is with deep regret that we have to announce that BIM XIX will not take place. Due to the known circumstances and the measures taken by the Belgian government, Concertzaal De Casino has decided to close their doors until December 31, 2020.
All tickets will be refunded. See you in 2021!

Never Mind 2020, here's BIM XIX!
Even though these are still uncertain times and the possibilities are still very limited due the current Corona measures, we at BodyBeats have decided not to let 2020 pass without having an annual BIM-like event! It goes without saying this year BIM cannot be the real BIM-FEST as you are used to. That is why our 19th BIM edition will not be a two-day festival, but a two-day party with one iconic Belgian headliner AND support on each day! So, on Friday December 18 you will be able to enjoy none other than the worldwide known and renowned Electro-Wave band A Split-Second! Together with electronic einzelgänger True Zebra, who will present us his brand new album Idiorhythmic, it promises already to be a pounding first night! On day two, Saturday December 19, the legendary minimal synth (pop) duo Absolute Body Control will take the stage again, for the first time since 2016 (!) to enchant you with all their club and cult hits from the past and … Now! They are assisted by another sympathetic East Flemish electro duo, Implant. Implant promised to play some brand new tracks from their upcoming album too!

Electro /EBM pioneers PORTION CONTROL strike hard with new album 'Head Buried'!
'Head Buried' 'Head Buried' Portion Control, formed in 1979, pioneered the use of electronic instruments and sampling and clearly inspired bands as for instance Front 242. They also have been cited as an influence by Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Orbital and Nine Inch Nails.
Head Buried is Portion Control's first release since their 2012 album 'Pure Form' and is a digital only release that features "a clash of trademark malevolent pieces from transmissions along with the other clumsy, broken, distressed monotone slabs."
But there's even more good news! According to Portion Control headquarters.. "the next new full release is underway, machines rumbling".
