GENKERSTEENWEG
2004-2005 | The Beginning
Back in 2004 it all started with a dj contest in Cocoon Club and 200 people who came to support their local heroes. A select few made it to the dj crew and Groovy Tunes started on Friday night 12.01.2005.
2005-2006 | Finding Identity
At the very start the concept struggled to gain momentum and it took months for finding a regular crowd and sound. At the end of the second season Groovy Tunes finally started to get a solid base crowd and because of this returning crowd the Groovy Sound began to develop in the succesformule it is today.
2006-2009 | SOLD OUT!
Early 2006 Groovy Tunes name spread all over the province, waiting lines began to develop. Not only to get in the club, but also to get behind the dj booth. Groovy Tunes was the hotspot, the hype was real and the deejays made sure that each event filled expectations.
2009-2013 | Factory Bree & the end of the cocoon building
With the ongoing succes of Groovy Tunes Hasselt, a second Groovy Tunes opened it's doors in the former Factory Club in the city of Bree.
With a great start at first but after a while it became clear that the real soul of Groovy Tunes was based in Hasselt.
Unfortunately the Cocoon building had an end date, so it was no option staying in Hasselt. This was the beginning of the end of the Groovy Tunes club era. The last event was held on 01.03.2014, short after that Cocoon building was destroyed and Groovy Tunes Hasselt was officially over...

OUR DNA:
- We stick to our guns! 90% of the music played is from the 1995-2010 era. We top this recipe off with some true Belgian retro classics. But also don't be surprised if you hear a modern remix of a track we used to play back in the days.
- All deejays are from the original setup.
Some chased other dreams in life but we managed to get more then 80% of the original crew back together. - We have the best fans. You see the same (and new) faces each and every event, again and again. We do not only keep Groovy Tunes alive with our sound from back then, but also with the same people / crowd that made it so magical.
A big thank you from the whole crew for keeping GROOVY alive!
