La Boîte à Gand marks a return.
After a long afro house chapter, this melodic techno mix reconnects with a sound that shaped the early identity of Aftermath — deeper, more emotional, and driven by tension rather than groove alone. Intimate, focused, and unapologetically underground.

About this Melodic Techno DJ Set
La Boîte à Gand – Melodic Techno Mix signals a clear shift back toward melodic techno, following an extended period centered around afro house. The transition is intentional: a change in atmosphere, energy, and narrative.
The title is inspired by a tiny underground club in the city of Ghent, Belgium — a place defined by proximity, darkness, and intensity rather than scale. That spirit runs through the entire set. This is not about spectacle or peak-time excess, but about immersion, progression, and emotional pressure.
The mix builds patiently, leaning into melodic tension, hypnotic sequences, and driving low-end. Tracks are selected for their ability to sustain focus and deepen the journey, creating a continuous flow where mood matters more than immediacy. Elements repeat, evolve, and slowly transform, pulling the listener further inward.
La Boîte à Gand is less a comeback than a reconnection.
A reminder of where the Aftermath sound comes from — and how melodic techno, when treated with restraint and intention, can be both powerful and deeply intimate.
