Youniss

Youniss Ahamad is an Antwerp-based artist who builds his own musical universe. He blends post-punk, hiphop, noise, and raw emotion into a sound that shifts with every release. His live shows - from Roadburn to Rewire - are known for their intensity and fearless energy. With albums like 'White Space' and 'Do We Try Beyond The Edge?', he established himself as an artist unafraid of discomfort. His new album, 'Good Effort!', opens yet another chapter: here, he explores what a city feels like when it is both home and a place that constantly pushes you to the margins. It’s an album about gentrification, getting lost and finding your way back, the noise that hides something beneath, and the soft spaces you sometimes discover unexpectedly. Youniss steps out from behind the distortion, revealing more of his voice and heart than ever before.

ƔAZAL is the musical universe of sonic architect Michiel Van Cleuvenbergen with Frederik Meulyzer on drums, Prisca Agnes Nishimwe on vocals and Matti Willems on saxophone. Their sound grows from rough sketches into an atmospheric world where ambient, dub, jazz and electronics flow together. Warm rhythms, layered textures and dreamlike vocals place ƔAZAL between retro and neo soul with hints of Massive Attack, Burial and Makaya McCraven. The title track Time Travels expands even further through a visual piece created by Michiel.
