[NEW SINGLE]
For those seeking shelter from the storms these tumultuous times bring, 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘷𝘺 is that comforting blanket you can huddle into. A genre-bending piece of music from rapper, producer, and composer 𝗞𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲, who crafted this jazz-infused soundscape that balances psychedelic rock with wonky, Dilla-esque hip-hop grooves. Together with 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮, whose angelic voice can heal any broken soul, they paint the outline of a world you can only dream of belonging to, drawn in shades of navy.

It's the collab we have been manifesting for and your perfect soundtrack for today!

[NEW SINGLE]

Pianist Bas Bulteel Music has been exploring the boundaries of solo piano work for several years. His first solo album, 'Eye Of The Storm' (September 2024) was shaped by influences from minimalism and contemporary avant-garde pianists.

In the months that followed, Bas recorded an extensive collection of free improvisations - created entirely in the moment, guided by intuition and openness. These recordings will be bundled on the new upcoming digital release 'Improvised Textures' (January 2026).

Today, we’re thrilled to share the first single from that new project: 'Whist'. A piece born from pure artistic freedom - letting go, stepping into the unknown, and transforming that journey into spontaneous, boundary-free improvisation, shaped entirely by the mood of the moment.

[NEW ALBUM]
We’re thrilled to present MARGITTE, the spellbinding project of Margot De Ridder.

Blending jazz’s fluidity with the intimacy of twee-pop and the edge of indie rock, MARGITTE crafts a sound that feels both ethereal and razor-sharp, but unmistakably her own.
The first reviews are in and shining bright with ★★★★!

Tonight exclusive live set in Music Mania Gent
- come and join us at 18.30!

Tsuki To Taiyo, the new single by Kin Gajo is out now!

A laid-back blend of hip-hop groove, accordion bass lines, warm synths and drifting flutes, the track captures the cosmic push and pull of moon and sun, inspired by Moon’s manga characters.

We’re thrilled to share e l d e r s, the new album by Volpe - the trio led by Heleen Andriessen, with Kobe Boon and Stijn Demuynck.

Heleen draws inspiration from both Rachmaninov and Radiohead, and the trio takes her ideas and transforms them into music that unfolds slowly, sometimes tender and meditative, sometimes bright and bursting with color.

e l d e r s (Dutch for “elsewhere”) isn’t a physical place, but a refuge in Heleen’s mind, a space to discover beauty on gray November days. Everyday details become gateways to this imaginative, hopeful world, where repetition becomes rhythm, dissonance feels like warmth, and small moments open into something bigger.

Three musicians lifting each other up, creating music that is intimate, joyful, and full of life.

e l d e r s is out now on all platforms
