Ardet (Lat. “he/she/it burns”) is the solo project of producer/songwriter Jan Segers. Drawing inspiration from artists like Sufjan Stevens, Beach House, Thom Yorke and SALEM, he blends alt-pop, electronics and singer-songwriter sensibilities into intimate stories told through music, words and sound. Expect lush yet cutting soundscapes with beats, synths, accordion and vocals that drift between dreamlike worlds and familiar memories. 

gone icon is the left-field alter ego of Jonas Steurs, a lyrical refuge as much for the subconscious as for innocent verses. A breathless voice, entwined with the precision of your favorite melody.

And a new EP, 'for your ears only'. In it, he dissects heartbreak, loss, and doubt in an almost suffocating way. The result sounds like dark post-pop, a blend of acoustic instruments, a touch of electronics, and a stray drop of Y2K nostalgia. 

Born in Portugal, Jesska Fernandes discovered her voice as a kid, always singing and dancing. Now based in Antwerp, she brings her blend of soul, pop and R&B to life.
