AKA MOON

Part of the European scene since 1992, Aka Moon is one of the true legendary jazz bands still active. Always surprising and adventurous, their sound is unique and recognisable, full of fruitful harmonies and polyrhythmic craftsmanship. 

ANTOINE PIERRE

One of Belgium's most versatile drummers. Simultaneously active as composer and band leader, (URBEX & Next.Ape), solo artist (VAAGUE) and side man in dozens of projects, Antoine Pierre delivers every time in a unique way. 

DE BEREN GIEREN

In the space between expectation and surprise you will find De Beren Gieren, providing robust evidence that gold can still be mined from the union of piano, bass and drums. The band has released six records - and counting - in their almost twelve-year career.

ECHOES OF ZOO

Echoes Of Zoo is a band with a unique sound, under the high tension of Middle Eastern rock music with the striking complexity of West African percussion and a few Dub flavors, all in the service of psychedelic jazz played with a punk attitude!

ESINAM

Multi-instrumentalist Esinam Dogbatse succesfully blends her soulful voice with traditional African percussion, adding here and there some electronic influences combined with sensible melodies and flute improvisations. She plays solo as 'one woman band' as with her full band.

HOLSEN & CASSIERS

Blending acoustic instruments with live processed electronics, Norwegian trumpeter Hilde Marie Holsen Holsen & Belgian vocalist Lynn Cassiers create inventive soundscapes in which elaborate noises as easily melt together as fluently as they can explode in totally different directions. 

JEAN-PAUL

ESTIÉVENART

During his a 15-years career, Jean-Paul Estiévenart became the most versatile and demanded trumpet player in Belgium, with more than 40 albums and collaborations with many international artists such as Enrico Pieranuzzi, Nathalie Loriers and Avishai Cohen to his credit.

KRIS DEFOORT

Pianist, band leader, composer for opera and theatre and more, Kris Defoort is a major figure in the European scene.

LABtrio (Lander – Anneleen – Bram) are three musicians with strong personalities, endowed with a fresh and adventurous approach to music. The trio’s acoustic universe conceals an urban jazz that flirts with electronic, underground and hip-hop cultures.

Thanks to their refreshing trombone sound, innovative effects and original approach of compositions, this young, promising quartet led by Nabou Claerhout brings a unique new sound to the European jazz scene.

Next.Ape is Antoine Pierre's unclassifiable project. They offer a cross-over music that cleverly mixes trip-hop, electronics, jazz and rock. thin 3 years, the band has shaped its sound, with a he groove that is hectic and incisive.
