In the organizer's words:

Dishwasher_ are the latest in another new wave of talent to emerge from Belgium's fertile groove and jazz scene.
Dishwasher_'s acclaimed self-titled debut album from 2023 is a time capsule of collective energy: recorded in one breath, nourished by weekly jams and the quiet concentration of lockdown.

The follow-up album, released on October 31, 2025 on the Amsterdam label DOX Records, takes a different path: Unlike the spontaneous energy of the debut, Anemoia was built from ideas that initially emerged in isolation. It was only in the rehearsal room that these ideas were broken up, distorted and reassembled.

A quest - but all the more satisfying when these divergent worlds merge back into a whole. The result? Jazz flows into Krautrock, New Wave meets Irish folk, and minimalist motifs grow into wide, modulated soundscapes. The sound palette is warm and analog, but at the same time strange and from another world. It moves somewhere between memory and hallucination - exactly that peculiar feeling that the title suggests. Taken from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, Anemoia means a nostalgia for a time that one has never experienced.

It may sound a little distant at first, but it lurks in every generation: teenagers dressing like it's the 2000s again; the return of the VHS aesthetic to feel the 90s; thirtysomethings feeling a warm longing for the 80s they only know from old TV pictures. Anemoia translates all of this into sound: warm, analog synthesizers, grainy pedal effects reminiscent of worn-out movies and retro games, and melodies that stick in your head like half-formed memories. The record exudes a nostalgia that is as comforting as it is disconcerting.

Dishwasher_ formed in 2019 and after immediately getting deep into the live scene, the band won at Sound Track in 2021 and Jazz Talent Ghent in 2022, among others, and has been touring all over Europe ever since.
