De selectie pareltjes viel deze keer op een veelbelovend producersproject, een getalenteerde hiphopartieste, en een vette stonerband met proginvloeden. Beluister ze op nu op 22tracks!

GLINTS

GLINTS is the brainchild of Jan Maarschalk Lemmens, an Antwerp-based musician and producer with a British background. The music he creates is a fine blend of hip hop, electronic music, and pop. Very soon, Lemons will drop his first EP via the Run Tell Secrecy label, which was recorded with Vuurwerk’s Jergan Callebaut, along with guitarist Mathias Bervoets. First single ‘Dread’ reminds us of The Streets, Ghostpoet, Chet Faker, and yes, inevitably Vuurwerk.

Majestic Sun

Time to rock out! Majestic Sun is an instrumental band from Ghent that describes its sound as “progressive stoner rock”. When listening to ‘Plague or Cholera (Part I)’, we hear bursts of acts like Sleepy Sun, Kyuss and Tool. In other words, a description that fits the bill. And more importantly, rock music that pleases our ears all day long.

Gloria Boateng

Gloria Boateng is a 25-year-old Ghanaian-Belgian rapper and singer, who grew up in the vibrant Ghent. By combining a mix of hip hop, pop, funk and soul, she reminds us of artists like Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Neneh Cherry, and Nneka. With her live band, she recently was awarded the third place at the De Beloften contest. And if you’ve seen her live shows, you understand why: this is a woman who’s born to be on stage, performing.
