De Fakkel
From Saturday March 28 to Monday May 25, we light the torch (De Fakkel in Dutch) 50 times. Every evening at 7pm, a Belgian artist covered the next one and passed along the torch. How did the fire spread in the Belgian music scene? Through which living rooms did the spark run? You can discover them all via our Instagram!

In the week of 4 may, the Fakkel lit a flame in collaboration with Champion Sound in the living rooms of producers. Every day they'll challenge each other to sample a Belgian track. The Fakkel x CS was already lit by Corrupted (sample: Tamino), Tsar B (sample: Red Zebra), Susobrino (sample: De Boomhut), Polar Youth (sample: Brihang), Faisal (sample: Charlotte Adigéry), Pippin' (sample: De Beren Gieren) and Amos (sample: Siglo XX).
