Viciosa x XXXOUND

VICIOSA

VICIOSA is a queer Brussels-based collective founded by Vera Moro and Ricky Corazón with a mission to spotlight Latin American electronic music, artists, and cultural expression. Created in response to a lack of dedicated Latin electronic spaces in Brussels, the collective quickly established itself as a platform where representation, community, and music come together. While similar initiatives were flourishing across Europe, VICIOSA saw an opportunity to create something unique for the local scene, celebrating the richness and diversity of Latin American sounds through a distinctly queer lens.

Diversity lies at the heart of VICIOSA’s identity. Beyond musical programming, the collective is committed to creating opportunities for queer artists, women, and people of color, particularly those with roots in Latin America. For the team, diversity is not an objective but a strength that naturally shapes their artistic direction and community. Their events offer a space where different backgrounds, identities, and sounds can coexist and thrive.

Musically, VICIOSA embraces the vast landscape of contemporary Latin electronic music. From guaracha, neoperreo, latincore, and raptor house to more experimental sounds, their programming reflects the energy and creativity emerging from across the continent. For Platine, the collective will present an especially energetic edition featuring artists such as Venus Melissa, Nicoba, RAQL, and Vera Moro b2b Graciano, bringing together a lineup that balances high-intensity club energy with the diversity that defines VICIOSA. Visitors can expect a vibrant celebration of Latin electronic culture, community, and queer nightlife.

XXXOUND

XXXOUND is an inclusive Brussels-based collective founded by Graciano and driven by a passion for creating meaningful experiences through music. More than a party concept, XXXOUND is a movement that embraces underground culture, diversity, and connection. The collective was created to provide a platform for emerging talent while building spaces where artists and audiences can come together around a shared energy and sense of belonging.

The name itself reflects the collective’s philosophy: “XXX” symbolizes pleasure, while “OUND” derives from sound. Rather than defining itself through a single genre or scene, XXXOUND follows feeling above all else. Its artistic direction is guided by the emotions, energy, and connections that music can generate, resulting in lineups that move freely between house, groove, techno, trance, hard trance, latincore, and beyond.

Inspired by the transformative power of nightlife and cultural gatherings, Graciano developed XXXOUND as a way to bring creative visions to life and create environments where music, art, and people can interact authentically. For Platine, XXXOUND joins forces with VICIOSA to deliver a dynamic and high-energy experience featuring international and local artists, including Venus Melissa, Nicoba, RAQL, and Vera Moro b2b Graciano. Audiences can expect an open-minded journey through genres, united by a shared desire to dance, connect, and celebrate together.
