The debut EP 'No Gods' was well received through various channels. STICE featured several songs in the official industrial playlists on Deezer and Radio Willy played the single 'Opposites Reversed' during Staalhard. In addition, some online niche radio channels worldwide picked up the singles. Various music blogs such as Dancing Bears, DaMusic and Luminous Dash were also enthusiastic. The latter wrote the following: "He is just twenty and if we dare to make the comparison with Nine Inch Nails and Tool, then he can be our new god from now on." STICE live is a witty, solo, industrial, black and white show.

RAPHA is a 23-year-old rising pop artist from Belgium with Congolese roots. After winning MNM Rising Star (2020) and Soundtrack (2023), she released her debut EP Circus in May. Circus tells the story of the “clown of the group”: the one who keeps everyone laughing while quietly struggling on the inside. With each track, RAPHA lets the mask slip further, revealing the self-doubt and healing beneath.
She is currently working on new music set for release in 2026. Inspired by Olivia Rodrigo, Rachel Chinouriri, Ravyn Lenae and Billie Eilish, RAPHA creates honest, vulnerable pop about the messiness of growing up, mental health, and identity.

"Hi,

I am a nice spontaneous boy from the cake town. I like to work in a group, but I can also work independently. I am also eager to learn and love challenges. I am rarely sick and I am vaccinated against viruses.

Greetings,

Noonzy"

Trix resident Lowye dropped his debut project No More Drugz on his 18th birthday: a raw, vulnerable album reflecting a turbulent period in his life. Following a period of silence, growth, and reflection, he has now risen from the dead—both literally and figuratively.

With his comeback album OSIRIS—named after the god of the underworld—Lowye claims his space in the rap scene stronger than ever. Recent singles OSIRIS VS THE WORLD and GRAVEYARD GANG offer a grim preview of what’s to come: raw rap packed with honest storytelling, witty bars, and catchy melodies. Backed by OSKI’s heavy beats, aggressive guitars, and lush synths, Lowye brings his dark vision to life.

Leveraging his background as a graphic designer, Lowye extends his storytelling into a striking visual experience. Complete with an iconic zombie aesthetic, tombstones, and support from Antwerp rap collective VHS, he is set to transform Trix into a graveyard on November 14th.
