Super Gum(@super_gum_bxl)

Super Gum is a band that has undergone serious changes over time. From a hybrid singer-songwriter/post-rock band in the early 2010s to an instrumental electronic art-rock band in the present, its three core members (Anatole Damien, Ari Rodriguez and Gaspard Sicx) have always committed to new sounds, melodies and the ideal fusion. Each is active in many different areas of the Brussels scene, including free improvisation, jazz, punk, and pop, and playing in established projects such as Fievel is Glauque, Garance Midi, Electronic Pancakes, and Whoman. Their first EP, “GUM!,” was well received by the Belgian press and their 2023 follow-up, “Milieu”, was made in collaboration with the label MAGMA.

Saturno Santos & Chaerin Im(@9nijntjes, @chaerinmusic)

A rare duo sighting of KB_ founder and songwriter Gabriel de Oliveira (aka SS) and close collaborator and pianist Chaerin Im in an intimate setting, approaching new songs and improvisations filtered through a language of Brazilian and Korean folk musics. A delicate thread of tradition and avant-garde in electro-acoustic meetings of voice, guitar, piano, small instruments, viola de cocho, and synthesizers.

Tzara the Machine (@tzarathemachine)

The solo project of Venezuelan singer-songwriter and producer Francisco Garrido. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Björk, Arca and Bon Iver, Tzara creates an organic sound, mixing sampled acoustic instruments and electronic elements. Through vulnerable lyricism and sonic experimentation, their music deals with themes of mental health and the nonsensical nature of our thoughts. Francisco is joined by Carolina Gemmell, both on vocals and guitar.

ARIA (@sampaolesic, @pietroeliabarcellona)

ARIA, the duo of accordionist Carlo Sampaolesi and double bassist Pietro Elia Barcellona, explores the limits and boundaries of experimental and contemporary music. The duo has collaborated with composers such as Francesca Verunelli and Justė Janulytė, and researched early chamber and non-Eurocentric music, reinterpreting it through a present lens. They emphasize timbre as a key element in their creation, experimenting with improvisation and tuning systems predating the well-tempered scale.
