2025 @ilovegringo.club recap ❤️‍🔥 one year ago in mexico city, finding inspiration and building recipes with the chef who helped shape gringo from day one.
from turning a raw idea into a real place, building the brand, the team, the systems, solving problems daily and trusting the process.
opening with a bang was only the beginning. the real work came after, learning, adjusting, growing every single week.
gringo reminded me that when you truly believe in a vision and stay committed through every phase, anything is possible. ❤️❤️❤️

Hosting a stage at WECANDANCE is more than curating music. It’s trust, responsibility, brining a vision to life.

For the second year in a row we hosted our own stage at one of Belgium’s most respected festivals. It still feels surreal. Not just because of the 20 000 people dancing on the beach, but because of what it represents: people believe in what we stand for! 

When WCD gave us the opportunity, they trusted us with the freedom and the responsibility to build our own line-up with a fixed budget. I personally reached out to every artist to ask if they would like to join. Everyone said yes!

One of them was Jepe, who flew in from Portugal to join us. In normal conditions, booking him wouldn’t have been possible, but he believed in the project. We handled everything ourselves; from picking him up at the airport to arranging where he stayed. It was personal, DIY, and it made the set and moments together even more special. Those are the moments we work for! Real connections with real artists!

But stagehosting is so much more than what happens on the dancefloor… It’s those conversations backstage or in the artist village with festival organisers, artists, suppliers. Talking about real problems, the future of events, life… Planting seeds today that may only grow into opportunities a year (or 5) from now on.

This weekend also reminded me of something bigger; 3 months ago, I suit my job to go all-in on my own projects. No safety net, no guarantees, just a strong believe, a dream and the willingness to take the risk for it. This weekend feeling the energy, the conversations and hearing the feedback made every difficult choice worth it! 

We’ll keep pushing our vision forward! Bring people together and make them discover new music & new artists. No mainstream 🤟

Big thanks to the whole WCD team. Thanks to all the artists. And a big big big thanks to our community. Thanks for showing up, dancing and believing 🧡

And everytime again I think, this is just the beginning. To be continued….

🖤 Matthias
