WIEZ: How do you pronounce it? No one gives a shit. It’s an acronym, always shifting like each of her live sets, never twice the same. She brings a raw industrial techno project built on unpredictable machines, distorted vocals, and a broken bass played with hands way too small for chords.
Each live show is pure chaos: brutal, improvised, and driven by jagged beats and crushing basslines. WIEZ doesn’t follow rules nor trends, just a relentless push for intensity. Expect a bunch of distortion, destruction, and a sound that never plays what you’ll count on.
Founded in 1994 by the Masson brothers, Pneumatic Head Compressor, one of the oldest metal-electronic-industrial-noisy band in Belgium is still there to bring the chaos on stage..
« Their Music is somewhere between Meshuggah and Godflesh »
With destructured, heavy, tortured music and a confusion of original tones, strange noises, shouts and atypical singings, P.H.C. surprises by the originality and diversity of its repertoire.
As a matter of fact, PHC’s intense compositions are the result of a long maturation process (the group finds it funny to call it a putrefaction process).
Let’s we forget, the fraternal duo has been involved in Magasin 4 for a long time. As one of the last fortresses of alternative music in Brussels, it is fair to say they had a lot on their plate; one might even wonder when these DIY aficionados —who record, mix and create their artwork by themselves—have found the time to share the stage with bands such as Godflesh, Zu, Pound, OvO, Hint, La Muerte, Mr Marcaille, Zeni Geva, Punish Yourself, Le Singe Blanc and many more….
Throughout the PHC’s Music we find the dense, uncompromising, unstructured and pounding music Pneumatic Head Compressor cherish: oppressive, tortuous grooves, raging lyrics and… well… ape-like vocalizations put into a shaker with industrial, metal, hardcore, doom, electronic and experimental sounds. A harsh man/machine duel that sums them up pretty well.
The brothers’ desire to make the listener jump into dark, murky waters and to keep him breathless until the end of the listening experience is remarkable.
Founded in 2016 in Brussels, Les frères Barezzi sits somewhere between world music and progressive music, alternating between acoustic and electric sounds.
You will certainly notice that, at its core, Les Frères Barezzi's musical universe is also deeply inspired by and infused with Andalusian Gypsy and Western Manouche folk music.
Initially composed of guitarists Louis Henry and Robin Rees, along with Thanas Kas on percussion, these three eclectic musicians met through the world of jazz.
As they have evolved, their compositions have also drawn inspiration from various other traditional music genres from around the world.
des tournées internationales, des créations musicales et des clips vidéo,
les Barezzi sont de retour avec un tout nouveau projet, frais et mature, fruit de compositions réalisées aux quatres coins du monde.
Les frères Barezzi, créé en 2016 à Bruxelles, se situe quelque part entre la musique du
monde et la musique progressive, alternant l’acoustique et l’électrique.
Vous remarquerez certainement que les Frères Barezzi, à la base, c’est aussi un univers
musical fortement inspiré et imprégné par les musiques et les folklores gitans andalous
et manouches occidentaux.
Au commencement, composé de Louis Henry et Robin Rees tous deux guitariste, ainsi que Thanas Kas aux percussions, ces trois musiciens éclectiques se sont rencontrés par l’intermédiaire du Jazz.
Chemin faisant, leurs compositions se sont également inspirées de différents autres
genres de musiques traditionnels du monde entier.
En 2018 le groupe poursuit son chemin et ajoute un imaginaire visuel à ses compositions dans une série de vidéoclips réalisés au Mexique, mais aussi en France et
en Belgique.
Depuis mi-2021, le trio est devenu quartet avec l’arrivée du bassiste Iënad Friedman.
En quelques mots, Les frères Barezzi, ce sont des compositions originales mêlant diverses sonorités inspirées de leurs voyages.

Bad Mood Rebellion is a Hard rock/Heavy metal band formed in 2019 by lead guitarist VlyseDNX. He was soon joined by bassist Pierre and Mister Jelly on drums, who are respectively the singer and drummer of the Hardcore band Ultimate Price.
The group spent several years trying to find their rhythm guitarist and lead singer. In 2024, they found Jeanmi B. to take on the role of rhythm guitarist, and in 2025, following the departure of some older members, they welcomed Federica on vocals.
The chemistry between the band members quickly became strong, and they have finally started heading in the right direction. Just three months after the arrival of the new singer, their first single is ready to be released online. The band is now ready to take the stage and share their passion with the audience.
I’m no one, a bass/vocal and drums duo, offers noise rock inspired by works such as "Blast" and "1984". Born in the hive of activity surrounding the construction and renovation of the various Magasin4 locations, they will perform their first concert for Active Brussels' 30th anniversary to pay tribute to their friends.
