ECHT!

Since 2017, Brussels-based ECHT! has been causing a series of explosions, from the North Sea Jazz Festival to the stage of Paradiso, passing through Dour, Pukkelpop, Ancienne Belgique, and even the legendary Jazz Café in London. The strength of ECHT! lies in the eight hands and four minds that play and think in the same direction. Their instrumental music prefers to raise questions rather than provide answers. Engulfing the listener in a sonic experience where the identification of individual instruments becomes elusive, each person becomes a cog in the rhythm and melody.

After their highly acclaimed debut album "INWANE" in 2021, the quartet returns to delight us with their resounding new album "Sink Along". Ten fiercely electro, trap, and bass music tracks, entirely performed and shaped through experimentation. It promises to be a night where ECHT!'s sonic identity reveals colorful surprises amidst its darkness.

Dishwasher_ are the latest disciples of yet another new wave of talent in the fertile Belgian groove and jazz scene. It would, however, be a shame to limit them to the constraints of any given musical style. Ever since their formation in 2019, the Ghent-based trio have been experimenting with all possible genres to create a contemporary sound they can now rightfully call their own. With their self-titled debut album, released in April 2023 , they are closing off an impressive first chapter, delivering a unique and diverse yet coherent collection of groove-driven cuts.
