VAAGUE
Surrounded by a unique cockpit of acoustics and electronics, VAAGUE creates drumgrooves for the dancefloor.
Brussels-based drummer and producer Antoine Pierre has created a collection of samples that he organically — and manually in real time! — with his drum grooves.
After a first solo EP in 2021, VAAGUE collaborates with Le Motel for Kintsugi, with Dorian Dumont for Reshaped or Jean-Paul Estiévenart for Wraath: three of the five tracks with incisive and in-your-face energy of his second EP "From the Ashes" (October 2022, Shapes no Frame & [PIAS] Belgium).
Whether it's pulsing synthesizers, snippets of otherworldly vocals or spurts of enchanted or murky sounds, each electronic element blends perfectly with the rhythms played live by Antoine. Sometimes hypnotic and captivating, then blossoming on downtempo dub vibrations, but always inventive and surprisingly layered: VAAGUE is the colorful gateway to an exciting musical universe.
Next to his bands URBEX (jazz) and Next.Ape (trip-hop/rock/jazz), Antoine extends his musical spectrum even further with this breathtaking and poetic solo project of electronic music.

"Het resultaat is een eclectische ep. De percussie klinkt uiteraard jazzy, maar de bassen doen ook vaak aan dub denken."
Knack Focus (BE)
"Een throwback naar de hoogdagen van Amon Tobin van jazzdrummer Antoine Pierre en de beatbakker van Roméo Elvis."
HUMO (BE)
"Considered one of the best the best drummers in Belgium, this time Antoine PIerre is accompanied by a futuristic device: an unusual piece equipment designed to multiply sounds."
