Koen Galle
KG (born 1983) founded his publishing house, AfterClub, to uncover stories about Belgium's rich electronic music culture and nightlife. He first got hooked on dance music in the late 1990s and eventually made a name for himself as a club and radio DJ. Over time, his fascination with the people and stories behind the music led him to begin writing and publishing.
KG is, above all, a storyteller with a deep passion for uncovering the heart of people's experiences. With a genuine curiosity for personal stories and a fervor for nightlife and electronic music, he immerses himself in the community to discover unheard voices. Through his work, he brings forward narratives that might otherwise fade into obscurity, offering a reliable perspective that bridges past and present, history and the contemporary scene.
