Charlize
Charlize (19) has been writing, playing and singing her own work for the last two years. In November 2021, this resulted in her debut demo 'You', which was very well received (including Humo's Rock Rally, Villa Basta Studio, Radio Scorpio Sessions, Summer Sessions Turnhout, Festival oan de voart, Open Mic Het Depot, ...). This demo consisted of listening songs made on piano. In the last year, Charlize has been working on new and heavier work in which she has exchanged the piano for the electric guitar. One of these new songs 'Oh God' made it to the semi-finals of the International Songwriting Competition in the category 'Teen' with Coldplay, Mariah Carey and Tom Waits among others on the jury. Recently you can also listen to 'The other way' and 'Dare' on this page. These have become 2 lofi pop rock songs.
WASTE
WASTE is a metaphorical cry of destructiveness and melancholy. Their call resonates through the Antwerp - Aarschot music scene, whilst their true nature exists of flaming noise, grunge and dark post-punk.
Expect melancholic vocals with manic outbursts, tight pumping drums, heavy basslines and screeching guitars when watching this band tear down the stage.
Stories of neglect, rage, madness and trauma flow together in a spicy cocktail of insanity. The dark and unspoken realms of the world, served on a silver platter.
Lil Alia
Deep trap beats, synths and spherical harmonies. Sensitive, definitely not-bad-ass lyrics. About cat raincoats, a little too close bond with your nintendo dog and someone who loves your never-tidy hair. Lil Alia suggests: "fluffy trap."
Throughout her life, Linde harbored an affinity for hip-hop, although she couldn't reconcile her image as a sensitive, sugary animal lover with being a rapper. Until she decided to radicalize in her atypical softness and come out with her self-invented genre 'fluffy trap'. Lil Alia is a theatrical experience. Expect a good dose of humor and self-relativization, interspersed with deep vulnerability and melancholy.

Emma Hessels
Emma Hessels creates intimate, small songs that explore grand, universal themes such as love, loneliness, and the search for meaning. Her music is a personal journey in which she explores her identity and the longing for recognition. This searching aspect is strongly reflected in her sound, which defies easy classification into one genre. Her songs range from dreamy and fragile to powerful and soulful, but one element remains constant: her unique, soulful voice. Through her authentic and emotional approach, she strikes a sensitive chord, with each song revealing a piece of her inner world.
