BEARDYMAN:
Beardyman is a vocal shaman, beatboxing champion and live looping pioneer who produces dance music in real time with the help of his self-developed system BEARDYTRON_5000.
After starting beatboxing at the age of 3 and writing a symphony for his school orchestra at the age of 9, Beardyman, aka Darren Foreman, became an internet phenomenon with over 50 million views on social media with the advent of YouTube. Since then, the multi-singer has been touring as a headliner, playing festival stages and venues around the world.

REAL!
Few bands have made such a lasting impression on us. Since 2017, ECHT! have been wowing stages across Europe, from Nuits Sonores, Lowlands and Dour Festival to legendary venues such as Ancienne Belgique in Brussels and the Jazz Café in London. The Brussels quartet thrives on precision and chemistry: four heads and eight hands working as one. Their instrumental music raises more questions than it answers and puts the listener in a hypnotic, trance-like state in which rhythm and melody merge and make the individual instruments almost unrecognizable.
After their groundbreaking debut EP Douf (2019) and highly acclaimed albums INWANE (2021) and Sink-Along (2023), ECHT! return with their most daring release yet: Boilerism. On this new record, they go beyond their signature bass-heavy sound, exploring faster tempos and tackling genres such as acid, drum'n'bass, footwork and UK garage. While the grooves get harder and the rhythms more mechanical, their sense of the unpredictable remains, with tracks that twist, turn and surprise at every moment.
