Homelands

Homelands is the Ghent-based band of singer Ellen Trienpont. The six-piece combines rootsy poprock with the characteristic and powerful vocals of Trienpont. While that voice shows comparisons with strong personalities like Lady Linn and Dani Klein, the well-considered instrumental framework reminds us of Steely Dan.

Memo Pimiento Electric Orchestra

Mexican-born musician Memo Pimiento lives in Belgium since 2012. Together with his Belgian girlfriend/MC Manon Amen he started the Electric Orchestra for which they combine the best of both worlds. Their mix of warm Mexican Cumbra-rhythms and cold Belgian/European electronics (think of Front242 and Kraftwerk) sound like vital pieces of unique music.

Lee Williamson

Lee Williamson is a global traveller. Being born in Melrose Scotland, he got raised in South African Cape Town. Nowadays he lives in Antwerp. After years of writing small lyrical puns and sometimes even autobiographical poetry he now drops his rhymes in Belgian hiphop/rap scene. Tip: don’t forget to check out his collab with Woodie Smalls!
