Aftermovie: Homecoming Studio Grounded

Aftermovie

Our very first Homecoming: an intimate living-room evening at Studio Grounded, where music, food and people came together. No stage, no rush. Just being present.

Housekamer Collective and SexyFlavors set the table for an evening about connection. A place to arrive, feel at home and dance.

Living room vibe
Candlelight, plants and good energy. People sat, stood, moved and danced as it felt right. After dinner the tables moved aside and the room became a dance floor.

Be present
We chose real connection over screens, without any phone police. CreativeBeyondHouse captured the memories, and the photos were shared in our WhatsApp community.

  • Marnix

    Sunshine in every set

    Marnix

    Marnix's DJ story started by accident. While eating at a friend's restaurant, the DJ had to leave and he stepped in. The room loved it, and he was welcome back anytime. After a year or two on vinyl he moved to the Caribbean, playing salsa nights, reggae beaches and afro boat parties, where he earned the name Yònkuman: Papiamentu for "young guy". Back in Rotterdam he opened his living room for the first Housekamer parties. Today he mixes vinyl and digital, from Brazilian rhythms and baile funk to reggae, konpa and kizomba. Laid back or full on, always with sunshine in the tunes.

  • Franklin

    Clipboard by day, crates by night

    Franklin has been organising music events since 2010, driven by a love for the night and what it does to people. With Surya he leads Homecoming: he shapes the concepts and takes care of the planning, venues and tickets.
