De Groene Waterman is a cooperative bookshop in the historic city centre of Antwerp. We are independent and progressive. We’re a literary bookshop, but also have a wide selection on philosophy, history, politics and more. We try to change the world, one book at the time. We love connecting people: through reading groups, book presentations etc.

AfterClub is an independent publishing house and online store focused on nightlife and electronic music. Founded in 2021 by journalist and DJ Koen Galle, AfterClub stands for passionate storytelling with a profound interest in local and diverse perspectives. Their 2024 sold-out book Fuse: 30 yrs of making noise was a fine example of how music history, design and community narratives can be brought together in a carefully crafted object that resonates far beyond the dance floor.
