Training on Friday

Pop star Becky Hill, known for her shirt swaps with Chase & Status and Netsky, releases her third album Rebecca this September, a nod to her first name. Insecurities, ambition, love and frustration all make the starting eleven. No defensive tactics, just full-on attack.A proven starter ready to find the net once again: DJ St. Paul. He knows the road to Kiewit better than our national team coach knows the dugout. Feverchild is a wall that no penalty gets past. Juwlz fires melodic trance straight into the top corner.

Always ready for kick-off with Jeroen Delodder. He calls his sets we-time, packed with future sounds and souvenirs from days gone by. Kevin Kofii, the Antwerp DJ with African roots, dribbles generously with sunny sounds, always a win for the supporters.

KŌMA b2b shoplifter go all in for the team effort. Expect nineties rave, breakbeat, jungle, bass-heavy techno and dubby rhythms in a warm, unpredictable set. OSAYUKI, the genre-crossing alter ego of producer and multi-instrumentalist Osayuki Asemota, a.k.a. Chuki Beats, goes straight for goal with melancholic rock, punk energy and hiphop grit. Re-Type pulls off a blind one-two in melodic techno.

Winning on Saturday

And off we go, with a lob into the world of Natasha Bedingfield’s pop. With Unwritten, she found the net with a global smash that has since grown into a full-blown singalong anthem. Thanks to the recent film Anyone But You and a wave of TikTok videos, a whole new generation has adopted it as its own anthem.

Work hard, play harder. Our colleague Eppo has always taken that motto a little too seriously. Eppo Janssen & Friends, a squad any coach would be proud to put on the team sheet. LAURAVIOLI deserves a tifo of her own too, séa brings the home crowd, Tori Ann blows the whistle for a sultry set and Mirage mixes hard house, UKG and Speed Garage like a lightning-fast winger tearing down the flank. And WORKSTATION presented by Amber Broos explores every corner of rave culture. Game plan still being discussed behind closed doors.

Party on Sunday

Even the most style-savvy footballer could take notes from Milolaathetlukken. The Amsterdam rapper went viral with designer drip, stacks of cash and wheelies along the Prinsengracht. Also on the team sheet: Casper Cox, hip, happening and straight out of Hasselt. Then there's ILA, the band fronted by Ilayda Cicek. In the manager's notebook for October 9: Motherland, new album.

Prinsezy, the Genk DJ and producer thrives on the counterattack, weaving together UK Garage, speed garage, UK bass and house. Also quick on her feet, sharp in possession and always finding space: Miamor. She brings groove-driven techno onto the pitch. NC lines up with hiphop, R&B and urban. Also looking fresh deep into the second half: Stijn Van de Voorde & Thibault Christiaensen, adding a few extra syllables to the team sheet. The Whatevers remain, as always, at home in every position.

Ronker has also been added to the Sunday team. Transfer from Saturday 22 August to Sunday 23 August.
