Live visuals by Charles Mahaco and intermezzo vinyl selections by the KRAAK gals are also on the year end's menu ~ a sweet sendoff before a much-welcome winter hibernation ❄️

THIS SATURDAY 22/11::: Amping up the art space, as absurd and literal as that sounds, with a raucous double bill at Sablon's corner collective Etablissement d'en Face. An early-ish bird special and an autumnal Saturday foray into the immersive sound worlds of two disparate Belgian characters messing with the possibilities of self-amplification ~ Kiara Govaert sending signals through random gadgetry and Pierre Berthet's iconic movings of vacuum and objects in motion 🔃

FREE ENTRANCE + concurrent with Luigi Zuccheri's ongoing solo exhibit ~ shows start at 7pm sharp, more info over on our kraak.net

TODAY ON DE NEUS: straight from the de Koer mixer during last Saturday's LISE x KRAAK: live recordings of Thorn Wych and Razen's hypnotic sets!

OUT NOW: Razen - Mirages LP

The magic lantern music of Razen spirals into ever more fanatic territory as its iconoclastic core, Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour, incorporate turntablist Guilhem All from Brest into the fold for their latest work, Mirages. Like a refracted prism of misdirected inputs, the sounds that emanate from the first seconds to the last are uncanny, unpredictable and unplaceable within the realm of their cinematic oddness. Vietnamese flute, oscillator, chopped-up vinyls and a range of uncomfortable techniques bring about a series of sandblown, rock-encrusted desert mirages which reveal themselves from the stillness and spin frenetically into the unknown.

Catch them tomorrow for the release show at de Koer:: LISE x KRAAK: Razen (BE/FR), Thorn Wych (UK), Amdience DJ set (BE/RU), and listen/cop over on our bandcamp::::

8 track album

SATURDAY 18/10::: Another convergence of spirits and bliss with blooming dreamer collective Lise, this time amid the woodworks of De Koer in Ghent. For this intercity collab, a gentle descent into the autumn sunset with psychfolk inclinations, featuring two acts of ancient summonings and droney transportation with more than a couple of tricks to set out gleaming hexes for the darkening days.
Celebrating the release of Razen's newest sonic mirage, alongside Thorn Wych's ancient laments and capped off by Amdience's shadowy lullabies ~ see us in the creaking beams!
