She sees music as a form of exploration and storytelling. Through singing, electric bass and digital composition, she aims to weave soundscapes that are both lyrical and documentary in nature, where the voice and recordings of significant moments become traces — archives of individual and collective stories and memories. CHATON LAVEUR Winding through the European indie rock landscape, Chaton Laveur carves out its own wild, unapologetic path. Born in Liège during lockdown, this two-headed, two-voiced musical creature — Julie (guitar, bass, vocals) and Pierre (drums, keyboards, vocals) — draws its power from the depths of 60s–70s German krautrock and the spirit of 90s indie rock, shaping a sound world that’s both hypnotic and immersive. PHOENICIAN DRIVE Phoenician Drive is a sextet formed in Brussels in 2015, blending psychedelic rock and traditional music where the oud, darbuka and rek meet with distorted guitars and synths. The band operates in the footsteps of earlier East-West musical fusions from the 1970s, such as Erkin Koray and Orient Express, and influenced by the German krautrock scene (Neu!, Can, Faust, etc.), in a neverending quest for trans in song. MALTASH (Joseph Jadam) is a Lebanese musician based in Brussels. He explores the fusion between traditional Arabic music, North African pop, and darker genres such as psychedelic rock, stoner, darkwave, and industrial music. His art reflects a commitment to blending his cultural roots with dark and atmospheric soundscapes, creating a space where familiar melodies meet rough and experimental tones Artwork : David Crunelle
