Taking place between the 18th and 22nd of June the festival will be hosted in the forests of the Baraque de Fraiture.

La Nature festival has emerged as an innovative festival, programming with eclectic themes which sees the focus placed on leftfield electronic sounds curated by an assortment of labels, collectives and aartists. This year the programmers are NoName, Crépite, Katatonic Silentio, Maloca, Moojo, RebelUp, Simon Médard and Whispering Signals.

Positioning itself as more than just a music festival, La Nature embraces a philosophy rooted in ecology, connection, and sensory exploration. The festival is built around themes of community and art – emphasising a close relationship between sound, landscape, and collective experience.

This year the curation has been handed over the following:

 

NoName is the non-profit collective behind La Nature and the core curatorial voice of the festival. Its curation team is composed of passionate music lovers, shaped by more than twenty years of collective experience in electronic music. Beyond the festival, NoName runs its own label Fleur Sauvage, produces Hors Piste (a two-day open-air edition at Usé-In in Seraing) and a year-round club and industrial-site programme across Belgium, and coordinates an artist community at noname.community.

Crépite is a music and art collective and label founded in 2015, based between Paris and Berlin. Its co-founders AiRKA, Farn, luçïd, Matildoutz and soy spread deep sounds across downtempo, slow house and melodic techno through their Curated Feelings compilation series and regular parties.

Dub&Dal is a Berlin-based collective celebrating sound system culture, South Asian heritage and community-led spaces. Built around handmade sound systems, homemade dal and workshops in Konnakkol, MCing and system-building, Dub&Dal proposes a women-led reinterpretation of the Jamaican soundclash through its Soundmash format. 2026 marks their first, focused intervention at La Nature.

Katatonic Silentio is the moniker of Turin-based sound artist Mariachiara Troianiello, working at the crossroads of electronic music, performing arts and sound studies. Her sets range from musique concrète, ambient and spoken word to techno, drum and bass and leftfield club rhythms. A recurring artist at La Nature since 2023, she is now a resident of the festival. Her 2023 live set at the Hypnose Room was released in 2025 as FS001 on the festival’s label Fleur Sauvage.

Maloca is a worldwide community and electronic music label based in Brussels, founded in 2020 by Le Motel. Its ethos is to build bridges between organic, electronic and acoustic elements, and between local scenes and global influences. The label has released artists from Ghana, Japan, the UK, Spain, Peru, Morocco and Brussels, including Howie Lee, Griffit Vigo, Farsight, Yuto Takei, Magugu and Katatonic Silentio.

Moojo (formerly MoonLodge) is the collective of Jonathan Denis (John D) and Mounia Ben Haddou, curating the festival’s care-oriented daytime space. Across the weekend, Moojo programmes morning takeovers, ambient sets, cacao rituals, yoga, sound healing and workshops where sound, body and intention meet.

RebelUp is a Brussels-based DJ collective and label active since 2007, founded by Seb Bassleer (SebCat). Its motto is sounds from the global underground: contemporary traditional and electronic music from Ghana, Mexico, Tunisia, Iraq, Morocco, Peru, Brazil, Senegal, Burkina Faso and the Brussels diaspora scene. The label runs radio shows on Radio Campus Bruxelles, Kiosk Radio and BRUZZ, and curates stages at numerous Belgian and international festivals.

Simon Médard is a Liège-based multidisciplinary artist: visual artist, VJ, animator at studio Camera-etc, scenographer and musician with the collective La Montagne Liquide. He is co-curator of La Nature’s Hypnose Room, shaping the festival’s immersive and spatialised listening experiences.

Whispering Signals is the label founded in 2020 and curated by Berlin-based artist Daniel Danieli, resident of La Nature and member of the team. The label operates as an ensemble of whispering moods, releasing vinyl on the WHS series and digital ambient through its sublabels HOWLONGISNOW and Schweres Wasser. Daniel[i]’s own work is rooted in deep, hypnotic techno and ambient, with releases on Semantica, Lowless, 012 and Norite.
