Some art next as Q-Factory presents: Twenty Years of Global Underground an exhibition with photographer Dean Belcher. Over the past two decades, Global Underground has grown to release over 40 genre defining compilations. With this vault of imagery at their disposal, label owner Andy Horsfield and photographer Dean Belcher, have charged themselves with the task of creating a series of pictures that perfectly encapsulates the 20 year history of not only the iconic Global Underground label, but electronic music as a whole. You can catch the exhibition at the Q-Factory | Atlantisplein 1 from half 9 in the morning until 7 in the evening.
