SVEN VAN HEES, born in Antwerp Belgium, May 1968. Van Hees' influences include Gabor Szabo, Lonnie Liston Smith, Azymuth, Herbie Hancock, Mulate Astatke, Kleeer, Willie hutch... Worked on local pirate radio at age 15 an made his mark by producing & mixing Belgium's first ever Radio-Dance show 'Liaisons dangereuses', together with host Paul Ward. Started producing records in 1989 for several labels such as USA Import, Atom, Elektron and was one of the three founders of the label Wonka Beats where he recorded & produced the first seven releases. Got picked up by Belgian's R & S label in 1992, due to his release "Emotional Rehabilation. Together with Dutch Dj Remy he kickstarted 'Global Cuts", a sublabel for R&S, for which he recorded until 1995 . 'Tabla Rasa, his final release on Global Cuts marked his switch from Tribal/techno music towards Jazzy downtempo. In 1999 he released GEMINI, today considered one of the blueprints for the whole Lounge-revival. The release brought Van Hees in contact with Julee Cruise (twin peaks), and the San Francisco wing of Naked Music where he spent most of his time before releasing CALYPSO in 2002. In 2005, Sven Van Hees created his own music label : YOUR LIPS. He released "SYNESTHESIA", incl. the single/video 'The sun goes down". Vocals were performed by Dutch vocalist Lex Empress. Numerous tracks on the album featured members of his liveband : Peter Schneider (percussion), Steinhardt (guitars) , Johan Vandendriessche (Sax & Flute) & Paul Flush (Fender rhodes / hammond). A rare live performance took place at the Blue Note Records festival in Gent-Belgium in 2006. In 2007 Van Hees released EXOTICA, with the singles : 'Across the Delta' & "It's so real'. Sven's label released tracks by BLU MAR TEN ,PHLUFF, DIBBY, remixes of HIDEO KOBAYASHI & HIROSHI WATANABE amongst others. In 2009 he will be releasing a new album, rumour is the single will be the first cut from GEMINI II.

The profile of SweetCoffee (Patrick Bruyndonx and Raffaele Brescia) can be sketched in terms of past achievements, but the band can only be truly defined in terms of its evolving future%u2026

Discobar "A" Moeder is een Antwaarps fenomeen dat regelmatig te aanschouwen valt in Petrol Club en de betere (écht) foute feestjes. Je kan dit duo ook aan het werk zien onder hun reggae / dancehall alter ego : Far West Crew. (o.a. Reggae Geel '99, '01, '02, '04, '05 & '07) In 2007 waren ze nog de officiële discobar van het "WK uit de maat dansen". Als dat geen referentie is ! Een avondje "A" Moeder staat voor soul, funk, disco, reggae, wereldmuziek, fout ... Kortom, een feestje met een hoek af.

Waar er te kort van zijn Ze heten El Créme Glace Quès en zo spelen ze ook: met ballen en de kleuren van de wereld. Ze noemen zichzelf Timarisu, Bramboise, Pistache, Straciatjelle, Loorentje, Wannanas en Floflo. El Créme Glace Quès is een band om van te snoepen, met covers die beter zijn dan het origineel en met eigen songs om vingers en duimen van af te likken. Geen soft-ice-gedoe, maar puur vakmanschap. Eerlijk en authentiek. Een feest voor de zintuigen, hoogzomer op het podium, hitsig-ritsig, een icoon van 't Stad, de wereld op een horentje. Kortom, een band waar kinderen van komen. U weet het: daar zijn er te kort van.

X-ian really runs a double life. This prolific progressive house dj and innovative DVJ artist is well known in the club scene for doing his well appreciated DJ / DVJ performances in most of the Belgian top clubs. Not only is he respected by his mixing skills and excellent record-selection, what a lot of people don't know is that he's the man that made PIONEER ProDJ a success in Belgium. He was one of the product-developers that created the pioneer CDJ-1000. This dj-cd-player became a worldwide success and is now a demand in most dj's technical riders. X-ian will of course perform with the latest DJ-gear technology. Expect the most intense sound experience in harmony with the best 'Progressive Deep House' like X-ian likes to call it

Residencies (past & present) in Housenation Antwerp, Fairytale Café d'Anvers, Tijuana Ghent, ... Recently, Metrobox threw himself into producing which resulted in a first EP, released in April 2007.
