the social lover
Saturday, August 16, 2025
high contrasts and wayward intensity await you.
The Social Lover is a producer and DJ with a characteristic collaging approach – seeking relations of sonic harmony and competition from which new meanings emerge. Within his playful sound, atmospheres transit rapidly, from dark and sombre towards the fun and lighthearted, triggering both mind and movement in the process. Interested in the contemporary and that which felt light-years ahead, Ruben Verkuylen (real name) aims to constantly refresh his takes on club music and broadcasting. He co-runs music labels Plafond (formerly known as BAKK) and Rubber.
