ANDREI STAN — A Brussels connection, a growing studio story
An international party is also somebody’s local scene. That is what makes me particularly interested in Andrei Stan: a Romanian-born DJ based in Brussels, appearing at an anniversary that will bring visitors into the city he calls home.
La Demence’s biography traces his beginnings to private parties and describes a musical approach combining house, progressive and tribal rhythms. It is a modest origin story, and one I like. Nightlife careers often begin close to other people: playing for friends, being asked back, learning how a room responds.
His production credits give that story another dimension. In February 2026, Queen House Music released I Was Made for Lovin’ You, jointly credited to Marcos Adam and Andrei Stan. Both the label and the co-credit matter when following an artist’s work: a shared production deserves to be presented as one.
His catalogue also includes an Andrei Stan remix of Black Flamingo and Giovanna’s Paradise, alongside releases such as Unknown Destination and Insomniaq. These credits provide a route into his studio work beyond the festival photographs and booking announcements. For readers getting to know him, I would start with a collaboration and a remix, then explore how his recorded work sits beside his DJ sets.
At the anniversary Main Party, Stan is scheduled in the ING Arena Main Room from 23:30 on Saturday 31 October until 02:00 on Sunday 1 November, between Andy O’Kean and Max Del Principe.
That position makes me curious about the early shape of the night: the moment when separate groups of arrivals begin to feel like one crowd. I hope to be there for that transition. Before calling any performance unforgettable, though, I want to hear what actually happens. For now, the documented story is already worth attention: a Brussels-based artist whose work connects the booth with a developing catalogue of productions and remixes.
