Avalanche Kaito
Avalanche Kaito

Someone has described Avalanche Kaito as “grrriot_punk_noise”. Burkinabe singer Kaito Winse, the guardian of the ancestral griot tradition, rubs shoulders with the multiform approaches of drummer and “pure dataïst” Benjamin Chaval and anarcho-guitarist Nico Gitto in an explosive combination. The project seems in many ways unique in the musical landscape, managing to combine both a seductive trance power and a wicked experimental side. 
The band was noticed from their first concerts in Belgium in July 2021. A real craze followed, which brought them to several European countries and to Canada during the following months, performing more than fifty times in festivals and clubs. 
In 2022, the band released their first EP, Dabalomuni, followed by a homonymous album, both on Glitterbeat. Also performing in several showcase festivals like MIL or ESNS, the band generates a real word-of-mouth movement. Everywhere, professionals and audiences receive them as a new sensation. 
In 2022, Grammy commissioned Avalanche Kaito to make a live video that was broadcast on the networks of the prestigious institution. In March 2023 KEXP released a live session shot at ESNS in January and The Wire published a feature about the band. The band continued to scour the festival circuit. In 2024, they released their second album Talitakum via Glitterbeat and have been on tour again all around Europe and beyond since then. Among their highlights: Supersonic (UK), End of the Road (UK), Sines (PT), WOMEX, Colours of Ostrava (CZ), Down The Rabbit Hole (NL), Nuits Sonores (FR)...

PHOENICIAN DRIVE (BE) EXPERIMENTAL / PSYCHEDELIC / ROCK / ORIENTAL / KRAUTROCK
Phoenician Drive
Phoenician Drive est sans doute l’une des formations psychédéliques bruxelloises les plus excitantes du moment. Fondé en 2015, ce jeune sextet vous embourbe dans des cycles de trance articulés autour de motifs à la fois orientaux, nord-africains et venus de l’Europe de l’Est, le tout sous-tendu par une rythmique jazzy, voire groovy. Ajoutez à cela des riffs psychédéliques/post-rock et de sporadiques renforcements en fonction de leurs concerts (flûtes ethniques, clarinette turque ou saxophone joués par des invités) et vous tenez votre passeport pour un voyage musical et spirituel, au cours duquel conversent la derbuka, le oud, le banjo et les autres instruments conventionnels du rock.    Un métissage admirablement réussi qui constitue un authentique manifeste d’ouverture aux cultures extra-occidentales, opérant un pont entre le krautrock allemand (Can, Faust, Neu !), le rock psychédélique turc d’Erkin Koray et les envolées balkaniques de l’Orient Express. 
DUFLAN DUFLAN (BE) DOOM / DISCO
Duflan Duflan
Comme son nom ne l'indique pas Duflan Duflan est un trio (Bass /Batterie/ chant + synth anal). Influencé par les monstres-robots, des puissances-primitives-oubliées et les insectes-morts, Duflan Duflan est un side-project. Comme beaucoup d'autres groupes, Duflan Duflan joue mal et fort et se prend très au sérieux.
Gut Model
Gut Model
Gut Model
En live, Gut Model fait le grand écart entre garage poisseux et clubbing synthétique. Déversant le flot de compositions post punk écrites à dix mains et cinq cerveaux interconnectés. Moins bien que les Beatles.
