Inspired by Cal Tjader, Mulatu Astatke and Marc Ribot, vibraphone Wim Segers starts to compose to bring a tribute to the Afro-Cuban music. Compro Oro arises: light and dark melodies, moving rapidly at first, then slow again through the rhythmic landscape of the Latin-American culture, generously merged with impassioned improvisations.

This collective paints us a musical portrait from around the world with the richly colored sound of Wim’s vibraphone and the rebellious guitar of Bart Vervaeck. Drummer Frederik Van den Berghe and percussionist Robbe Kieckens, who grew up in Afrika, deliver the ultimate groove. The solid rhythm section gets complete with Mattias Geernaert on double bas. Compro Oro is danceable music that stirs the senses and is constantly fascinating. Live performances are a feast for hips, ears and mind

Michael Brinkworth, a guitar and harmonica wielding troubadour from Australia, has written a bagful of heartfelt road-worn songs throughout his wanderings, honing a unique songwriting and performing style blending folk, blues, grunge and alt-country with rock 'n roll soul. 

TEMPLE HAZE is an experience of epic indie melancholia. Blending blues and classic riff-a-tology with open tunings and a timewave vocal of ebbs and flows. All acoustic, electric and effected; Temple melts folk, rock and a modern astetic on songwriting into a genre bending showcase.

With a sound like no other, and an ethos underpinned by debaucherous indulgence in creating sounds that marvel and mesmerise; Rizzo & The Members Club captivate all those who fall in their path. 

Formed by three school friends of old - Nick Fox, Dan Linke & Rizzo - the three brothers in arms set out to blend an array of musical genres together, to create something truly innovative and fresh. RMC is a melting pot of hip-hop, rock, UK grime & funk, and has been bubbling since its conception in September 2015, in the bowels of the old Stasi HQ in Berlin. 

Born and raised in Barcelona, Spain to English parents, Reuben Palmer grew up in an environment where anglo saxon music was played and prevailed over spanish music. In this manner, the likes of Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Neil Young and in particular Bob Dylan established the foundations of what was to become his main passion, writing songs. Once he got over his stage of listening to the Spice Girls & the Backstreet Boys at the age of ten or eleven, he eventually stumbled upon the Sex Pistols & Nirvana, thanks to his mum, which was to have a huge and immense impact in the way he perceived music from then on. Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York became his main obsession & influence for many years, where he was to learn & borrow, musically & lyrically, ideas for his own first songs. Radiohead and Jeff Buckley soon made an appearance in Reuben's life further enhancing his love of singing and writing songs. But it was to be Damon Albarn's heavy influence that finally brought him a glimpse, a spectrum, of what could possibly be Reuben Palmer's sound. Like many others before him, he daily struggles to attain that sound that makes him unique.
