intro

The Sound Of The Belgian Underground The sound of the underground is, by definition, unheard. It rattles and moves explored terrains, stirring the land imperceptibly. Yet, like an earthbound tremor, it sends shockwaves. The sound of the underground may be restrained and unspeaking, but it is ultimately expressed in the expansive convulsions of frameworks known and understood. In our little country, the sound of the underground is not a sound: it’s a feeling, a movement, a fabric that tears and mends itself into a lush web of far-reaching incidence. Enter this experience without trepidation, for the sound of the Belgian underground will shake you to your core.

2 Dec - Magasin 4, Brussels 19.00 - €10 - free for members Continuing with their 25th anniversary celebrations, the guys of Magasin 4 have invited psychedelic alternative rock band White Hills, who will be heating up the stage with distorted guitar riffs, groovy basslines and a dash of shoegaze. Experimental vocalist and guitarist Martin Bisi, who has produced albums for legends like Sonic Youth, Swans and Helmet, among others, will be joining them for this psychedelic event.

Peuk + Brorlab 4 Dec - Super Fourchette, Brussels 20.00 - €5 - free for members Prepare those eardrums to be tickled by Peuk and Brorlab, as the girls at the fork have scheduled a

noisy evening. Brorlab will open the noise festivities with their drum computer molding into streams of intense punk. Shortly after that, Peuk, who has been praised across the country from north to south as the grunge rock band to witness in 2019, will hop on stage to take you right back to the 90s.

Yep, this is your last chance to get rid of that FOMO.

4th Stream Festival Day 1: 2 Times Nothing 5 Dec - VOLTA (Bozar), Brussels 20.00 - €12 - free for members These five crazy musicians met at art school during their teen years in Brussels, and the band was born very soon after. Good luck trying to pin down the style; their music is unclassifiable – a deliberate choice for these musicians who offer an extraordinary electronic sound, with whiffs of jazz, hip hop and funk. Surely some of the new cool kids on the block! Wanna know more about these boys? We’ve got you covered; check out our interview online ;-)

Nuit Europalia Romania ft. Borusiade + La Mverte + Alexander Arpeggio & Maria Balabas + Bogdan Orbita + Fais le Beau 6 Dec - Brass, Brussels 21.00 - €10 - free for members Europalia is all about promoting European artists in Europe. This year, Romania gets put in the spotlight. To close off this years edition we get to discover all the good things that the Romanian electronic scene has to offer. On the menu: an eclectic mix of 80s synth music with industrial soundscapes and abrasive techno grooves with krautrock.

Basic Moves back at Chez Jacques ft. Hicham + Malika + Andrew James Gustav + Boudewijn Ericx 6 Dec - Chez Jacques (Basic Moves), Brussels 22.00 - €10 free for members before midnight

Adventurous Belgian club label Basic Moves is coming back to Chez Jacques – a small-capacity club in a basement in Molenbeek – with a party that will keep you warm for Sinterklaas night. With a lineup comprised exclusively of vinyl lovers and dedicated diggers, expect mixes filled with surprises and unexpected bangers.

Huna presents: Moving Still + JazzDee 6 Dec - Amigo, Ghent 23.00 - €8 free for members before 1 AM Moving Still’s music is definitely a clash of cultures. Middle Eastern sounds mix with heavy bass beats – as his latest remix of a Sidi Mansour track, premiered on RA, testifies. The other guest on the decks is JazzDee, a young Belgian DJ who favours vinyl over CD. You might have seen him at Dour festival last summer, where he slashed genuine breaks and mixes, from funk to house.

Joining the Philly sound alchemist are Belgian talents from two ends of the spectrum, Old Painless and Osica – the former promising a barrage of no-holds-barred noise-hop, while the latter deliver terrain-shaking, modular synth-driven techno.

Minus One becomes the meeting point for Consouling and Montage, who are celebrating the release of Berlin artist Ziúr’s album ATØ – which praises, as the musician puts it herself, ‘the alliance to take over the world’ – and épong’s new and so-far mostly dance-oriented album Drank, in which the artist continues to explore distorted nighttime pulses. The lineup is expected to be simply epic, featuring above all must-see-live Barst, Dutch DJ Zeta Lys, dark sets by Bolt Ruin and Brusselsbased DJ crat.

Salon #03 with Bok Bok 7 Dec - Amigo, Ghent 23.00 - €5 free for members before 1 AM Amigo is opening its doors on 7 December for Salon #03. For this occasion, London-based DJ, producer and Night Slugs label founder, Bok Bok, will be featuring an outstanding blend of energetic mixes that include an infinite number of musical genres and styles he has absorbed from his travels – from Hong Kong to Austin and from Chicago to Tokyo.

The transcendent vocal waves of artist-producer Felicia Chen, aka Dis Fig, are going to overflow the stage at Botanique. Dis Fig’s sound is reminiscent of The Knife – meets the intensity of Portishead – meets the bass traits of The Bug – all bristling with rebellious energy and drenched in profound emotion.

The Sound Of The Belgian Underground 26 Jan - Ancienne Belgique, Brussels 14.30 - €13 - free for members Partners Partners is the audio-visual handshake of Femke Fredrix and James de Graef. Faust was their first release, named after their cat. It explored the dynamics between human and animal. In new album City of Freaks Partners dig into who we really are when, together with the daylight, our masks disappear. They are afraid of the dark, and maybe you should be too.

Grid Ravage Synthesist and sound engineer Yves De Mey has been around since the 90s, when he was a drum’n’bass producer, and adopted different monikers along the way. He got into experimental electronics, makes sound installations, scores performances and films ànd runs a label.

The outcome of his recent techno project Grey Branches might be called ‘non-functional’, the adjective most certainly doesn’t apply to him.

Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe is an ambitious theatre maker, performer and ‘wannabe countertenor’. ‘Multidisciplinary’ is his favorite word and ‘busy’ might be his second – he performed in three plays this summer. Yet not everything has to be about profiling and success: when playing at SOBU with longtime collaborator Laurens Mariën (Alien Observer, Soldier’s Heart, Dolly Bing Bing), there will be room for songs like ‘do you smell the poop, poop, poop?’, too.

Clara! y Maoupa ‘Avant-reggaeton’ is a thing. DJ and MC Clara grew up in Spain listening to reggaeton. Encouraged by experimental producer Maoupa Mazzocchetti, she became a songwriter in their collaborative project Clara! y Maoupa, a dancefloor friendly yet startling blend of trap, perreo and dancehall. The Brussels-based duo call themselves ‘club-ready’ but that doesn’t quite cover it.

Ikraaan Ikraaan – ‘glitterprincess’ on Instagram and a self-proclaimed ‘clown’ on stage – is a 21-year-old from Mechelen. She released her first EP Happy Pill in September, inspired by her own traumas and struggles. Her stirring and personal Dutch r&b could (but shouldn’t) substitute your psych.

In Hi, Mom!, a young Robert De Niro plays a voyeur obsessed with the penetration of the intimate life of his neighbours. He manages to turn this obsession into an art movie project, which he sells to an adult filmmaker. Through voyeurism, filmmaker Brian de Palma interrogates the power of the image and its capacity to turn the real into fiction.

In her third full-length feature, French filmmaker Céline Sciamma depicts the life of four young girls of colour in the Parisian banlieue.

Sometimes compared to Abdellatif Kechiche, Sciamma’s realist filmmaking is throbbing with life and empowering. Using actresses cast in the street, touching upon topics of race, gender and sexual orientation, she renders a dazzling picture of contemporary youth.

Six years after imagining decadent and misanthropic vampires in Only Lovers Left Alive, defying all the conventions of the genre, Jim Jarmusch creates a comedy about the living dead and confirms the horror that inspires the contemporary world – a world that has nothing left to offer.

expo CAMP Beginnings

until 22 Dec - Argos, Brussels 11.00-18.00 - €5 - free for members CAMP is a Mumbai-based studio for transdisciplinary media practices, co-founded by Shaina Anand and Ashok Sukumaran. Their exhibition, Beginnings, goes back in time, to a period of their output that predates the establishment of CAMP and addresses some of the fundamental elements that would subsequently come to define the studio’s main artistic concerns.

It speculates on fundamental questions of the nature of film and video through site-specific spatial and technical interventions.

Roger Ballen The Theatre of the Ballenesque and Correspondances

month of Dec - Centrale, Brussels 10.30 - 18.00 - €8 - free for members New York-born, South Africabased photographer Roger Ballen has tried to capture the human condition for over forty years.

Centrale dedicates two exhibitions to the artist: The Theatre of the Ballenesque and Correspondances, both fruit of Ballens exploration of the unconscious. In the second exhibition Ballens work interacts with that of Belgian artist Ronny Delrue. The former merges photographs, videos and installations to create a theatre of the absurd: the so-called ‘Ballenesque’.

artist

Loïc Le Hécho, aka @zzzanguy, may look familiar to you. We featured his collective, Isengard, a couple of months ago in our 20-something issue. From small beginnings, they’ve grown a lot since then. As each of the collective finds their own path, we took a closer look at one of the founders. Le Hécho is a tattoo artist with an exceptional vision. His drawings stick to your retina as if they were created in your worst nightmares, yet somehow also have a sweetness to them that is oddly mesmerizing. We talked about his move to Brussels and why he didn’t just move here for the Tripel Karmeliet.

Interview by Laura-Andréa Callewaert Photos by Rashidam Nassyrova, shot in Brussels

First of all, what do you do exactly? : I’m an illustrator, but I honed my skills so now I’m also a tattoo artist. That has been my main activity for the last few months but I’m also really interested in music. As I don’t produce music myself, I’ve worked on the visuals for album covers with a few artists I admire. And for one year now I’ve been part of a collective called Isengard with some friends, organising parties, participating in book fairs and curating exhibitions. So my life is a balance of all those activities and taking baths.

You moved to Brussels recently. Why? : Basically, I moved to Brussels to study art. But I quickly found out that I’m not a schoolboy and I quit. And I really needed to get out of my hometown where I was suffocating. Brussels seemed to be an evident choice, it was different and exciting because the cultural offer are a bit limited in Toulouse. In Brussels it’s literally the opposite. I discovered many new collectives with their own vision of organising parties, proposing a large scale of music genres and graphic expressions.

Also, you can feel that things are growing in Brussels and it’s pretty good to feel this energy. It pushes you to do things and not wait for someone to do it. And I’m

in love with the fact that I can do everything by foot as it’s a human-sized city and that’s very important to me.

How did you get into tattooing? : It took me a long time to bridge the gap to tattoo my drawings on people even though I’ve thought about it for almost five years. I started a year ago because I felt that it was time.

I was essentially waiting for my drawings to become more personal because I’ve never been interested in custom designs or orders. So I had to have my own touch to enter into this very particular – and at the same time very mainstream – world. It’s interesting for me to see people interpreting my work, and even more when classic tattoo artists are crying at my designs.

What do you need in order to create? : A simple four-coloured Bic pen but the silver one, some Schleiper’s cheap black books, a café to be alone and some music but nothing too rhythmic.

Favourite (tattoo) artist of the moment? : I don’t know if I have a single favourite tattoo artist at the moment but there’s this guy in Charleroi called ‘JC Tattoo’ who had a petition against himself to stop his tattoos. The page is called ‘Pour que JC tattoo arrête ses horribles tattoos’. Unfortunately I never

found anything else about him, so maybe he really had to stop. I basically mean that tattoos I find the most interesting/beautiful are some random things from drunk parties or small ones people do on themselves. Also, there is this page from Barcelona which is about homeless people’s tattoos and the story behind them called ‘Podri tattoo’. There are a few other ones I follow on social networks who are doing really inspiring things like ‘Sinkhole’ from Denver or ‘here__i__am’ or ‘corodeco’. My friend Angie: ‘0_09090_0’. I also love the works of ‘silemario’ and ‘Lome Lu’.

What’s your role in the Isengard collective? : I’m more or less the co-founder with Vinessett, Llanto and Jules Rousselet. I don’t know exactly what my role is. Little by little we have unconsciously created different poles, as everyone has his/her own occupation (plasticians, producers, graphists, DJs, students, tattoo artists, illustrators, etc).

It’s impressive to see things advance by themselves as the poles become more independent.

I think that my role is to be the link and sometimes the organiser but it can be a lot of pressure.

With the help of my precious friend Llanto it’s good to see our chaotic meetings turn into concrete things like our last event at

Brasserie Atlas in collaboration with Parisian collective High Heal.

How do you feel about the Belgian music scene? : I feel comfy. I feel like we have nothing to envy from the other capitals. In Brussels loads of things are happening, producers producing. It’s enjoyable.

Which track/album defines you the most? : I’d say Duster’s album called Stratosphere.

All-time favourite meme? : Myself.

Chocolate or fries? : I’m more a Poulycroc person, but fries definitely!

Ben Bertrand Bass clarinettist Ben Bertrand has been around in the Belgian classical scene for some time now.

Experimenting with FX stompboxes, he pushes the boundaries of the musical tradition and his somewhat unconventional instrument, which resulted in a first album full of rich textures and sounds you’d never expect from a clarinet. Intertwining electronics with classical music opened new doors to a wider audience.

Sincere, talented and funny-as-hell as he is, Ben Bertrand offers you the best of both musical worlds.

Chibi Ichigo ‘Chibi Ichigo is focused on music and Sabina is rather dreamy.’ So goes the only difference between Sabina Nurijeva and her stage moniker, Japanese for ‘little strawberry’. Growing up as a Russian girl in Limburg, Nurijeva felt like the odd one out. Through making music, she found pride in her story. She loves strawberries and Japan – its toilets in particular – but most of all she loves to crush biases and prove people wrong.

You collaborated with Zwangere Guy, you’re friends with Le 77 and half the Belgian hip hop scene is featured in the video for ‘Secret’. Is the scene close?

CI It is! We’re all supporting each other. But it’s divided between different cities. I wanted to get rid of these boundaries and bring everyone together in the video.

You often dedicate songs to your mom.

Is she a big source of inspiration?

CI Yes. We write songs together, since she studied Russian literature. Music is a coping mechanism for her as well, and we try to conclude every song with optimism.

I noticed! Listening to your record, I felt like everything is possible.

CI I love to hear that. Whatever your passion is – even if it’s bird watching – go for it!

You’ve mentioned that you have a hard time finding Russian role models.

CI A lot of Russian music is sex centered. It’s all about boobs and bodies. The lyrics don’t tell a story.

Who can girls look up to? It’s almost as if they have two options: becoming a housewife or a supermodel. I’m not pushed into those stereotypes, I’m lucky. Although my mom did tell me she wouldn’t mind if I got pregnant now (Laughs). However, I’m currently focusing on Belgium. I’m writing a lot of songs in Dutch.

45

At first you didn’t like to write in Dutch. What changed?

CI Making Dutch sound good is hard. It doesn’t sound as smooth as English or French. It’s scarier, too. In Russian I can be as vulnerable as I want. No one understands me anyway! In Dutch people do, yet being vulnerable can be very powerful.

What records are on repeat for you?

CI I love the guilty pleasures lists on Spotify. It’s insane how much I adore 2000 music. Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child and Justin Timberlake make me feel alive every morning in the shower.

And in terms of Belgian artists?

CI Stikstof, no doubt. I saw them for the first time in Hasselt some years ago, it’s still my favourite concert of all time. As a kid I had a diary and wrote a lot of stories.

Stikstof inspired me to start writing lyrics too.

Earlier this year you went to Japan.

How was it?

CI The toilets are amazing. The seats are heated, you can choose music and the visit ends with a spray. I love those kinds of things.

Rogergoon

INT READ T ERV IEW HE ONL INE

Member of the Isengard collective, Rogergoon’s melodic, ambient sound is making waves in the Brussels’ DIY scene. Supported by like-minded underground communities, including Slagwerk, Rogergoon is part of a network of talented, emerging creatives.

When sitting down with the artist, he shared his world and revealed a seemingly hidden layer of the city. In addition to emphasising the importance of Isengard and Slagwerk for his success, Rogergoon considers the internet equally as important, functioning as a tool for meeting collaborators and identifying similar communities in other cities. In a place like Brussels, where underground communities aren’t highly visible, the internet allows for creative discovery and exploration. Rogergoon is currently working on a soon-tobe-released EP, which is influenced by music, books and video games he discovered within the past year.

Incorporating classical material, video game samples and electronic sounds, he’s working to create stories and immersive content. You can experience this new project, and unreleased material, at upcoming shows.

READ THE INTERVIEW ONLINE

Like all millennials who watched Hannah Montana or Shake It Up on Disney Channel, as a little girl Ikraaan wanted to reach stardom. Now the 21-year-old is getting somewhere near, having been picked up by Brihang and nominated for the Red Bull Elektropedia Awards. Along the way, the Mechelen-born, Brusselsbased artist realised fame isn’t important, but talking about issues in music is– whether it’s mental health, sexuality or religion. She’s received a lot of DMs from people telling her how much her music has helped them, yet sometimes she wishes she could hide behind the curtains and be an introvert again.

Old Painless

Masked by a hidden identity while delivering inaudible vocals, Belgium’s Old Painless is something of an enigma, both physically and musically. Never revealing their face in photographs, and providing little context on the internet, it’s hard to place the experimental noisemaker into a particular genre, and that’s no accident. Having previously performed as a heavy metal artist, Old Painless draws inspiration from trap hip hop, with an aggressive style that makes for a high-energy live show. With heavy metal lyrics screamed at full volume and intense basslines, the music is an intense emotional experience. In an effort to understand how Old Painless developed their music style, we met with the artist and discovered that although often compared to artists like Death Grips and Ho99o9, they’re in a category of their own.

Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe Making a name for himself through online alter egos since he was a teenager, director and performer Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe has always walked a multidisciplinary road. While touring his theatre show NACHTEN / Ballet De La Nuit and preparing his next production, A Revue, he is simultaneously releasing music. He collaborates closely with Laurens MariÍn, aka Alien Observer (Soldier’s Heart, Dolly Bing Bing) for both his performance work and musical ventures. In January, they play AB together during The Sound Of The Belgian Underground.

54

Interview by Simon Baetens Photos by Tiny Geeroms, shot in Brussels & Ghent

You work in both theatre and performance. How do these practices relate to one another?

BAM The live sets I do with Laurens started as a theatrical take on ‘music’ and were originally shown as a performance piece. Due to the difference in budgets between the music industry and the performance circuit, we often put on a stripped version without scenography and lighting design.

‘Theatre’ and ‘music’ are, therefore, sadly inevitably separated for the moment. Nevertheless, the theatricality and the oparetic flair are as eminent as a cheeky hard-on. Laurens is a constant force in both professions. I write the lyrics and come up with the melodies; he makes the actual music as well as the sound design of NACHTEN / Ballet De La Nuit and my next piece, A Revue.

Would you call your music ‘underground’?

BAM I struggle with the term ‘underground’ quite a bit, because I think our music is rather superficial. We flirt with the friction between lowbrow and highbrow art and experiment with pop attitudes – for example, in the song ‘do you smell the poop, poop, poop?’. But we don’t shy away from drama either, like with the track ‘Boy I love you so much’.

We let all these different moods

57

interact with my contratenor voice. We’re not tied to any musical convention, which enables us to dig below the surface of our own music.

Your image is essential to your work.

How conscious is this part of the process?

BAM I am indeed very conscious of my image, but I try to be very sincere about it. Some say I suffer from megalomania or a taste for decadence. I don’t deny this, but I counteract it at the same time: I’ve ditched the extravagant plume coat I used to wear. It was a skin I put on, it doesn’t gel with how I position myself in the arts at the present time. I want to be and see a real human being who’s simply good at something and is therefore able to move an audience.

Still, I think it’s just as essential to create new bodies, critters and atmospheres. If I am then deemed eccentric, this is only an illustration of that desire. I think of this quote by Daan Stuyven on a daily basis: ‘If you try to be an icon, then the icon becomes you. If you try to be a model, it will catwalk over you.’
