Club Focus: Kompass - Ghent

With Club Focus, we put the spotlights on some of the nation’s most interesting dancefloors. Whether they focus on house, techno, hip-hop or all of them - a good nightclub is not rated on genres, but on the quality of the clubbing experience it offers the regulars as well as the first timers. A meticulously placed sound system, a consistently strong programming and a thoughtful interior design are just a few of the things that guarantee to bring in crowds every weekend, which helps them to build a dedicated clientele and, most importantly, a solid reputation.
To be honest, a focus on Kompass is long overdue. This massive dark warehouse with multiple rooms took the Belgian club scene by storm 3 years ago. With its giant industrial allure, overwhelming soundsystem and bohemian atmosphere, this venue wouldn’t feel out of place in Berlin or Moscow; but we are in the outskirts of Ghent. Every weekend, owner Jens Grieten and his team consistently book the crème of the international house and techno DJ circuit, making sure thousands pass through its doors on a weekly basis. In the last 6 months alone, artists like Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Ricardo Vallalobos, Pan-Pot, Chris Liebing and Boys Noize are just a snapshot of the total amount that came through. Unfortunately, the club has been in the midst of political controversy lately. But determined to look at things from the bright side while the 3rd anniversary coming closer, Grieten was eager to get in front of our camera to tell the story of Kompass from his perspective.
