Jan Verstraeten hails from the punk and hardcore scene in Ghent, where he embraced the DIY spirit with basement recordings and handmade merchandise. Initially active in contemporary art, he returned to music for its raw, universal connection. His debut EP 'Cheap Dreams' (2019) was a soundtrack for an unfinished film project, followed by 'Violent Disco' (2022), an album inspired by 70s cinema and fantastic creatures. With 'Wolfman', his latest track, he creates hypnotic worlds of poetic lyrics and surreal imagery. In addition to music, he continues to paint, draw, and sculpt, always searching for the strange and unexpected.

Anyone familiar with Brent Vanneste as the raw, primal force behind STAKE and Klakmatrak will likely raise an eyebrow and perk up their ears at his latest solo release, under the name Brennt, 2-nen, Vanneste. 'Collection of Goodbyes', 'Escapades I, II & III' offers a glimpse into the soul of a creative wild spirit with a white-hot core. A work that pairs raw emotion with inspiring beauty through moments of stillness and isolation. Originally conceived as a single 58-track, four-hour-long piece, streaming limitations forced Vanneste to divide it into three parts, which still flow seamlessly into one another. 'Escapades I' marks the release of the first installment.
