Westhell 5
WestHell 5 werd in 2007 opgericht en haalt zijn inspiratie uit oude spy-fi -en crime soundtracks (John Barry, Mancini, Lalo Schifrin), 60's groove jazz, Vegas Grind en vroege rhythm 'n blues. Dit resulteert in wat ze zelf Mod&Crime-Jazz noemen; een dansbare mix in instrumentale setting, feat. dampende sax, spokende theremin, scheurend orgel, snijdend slagwerk, vette bas en groovend gitaarspel.
Het altijd strak in het pak gestoken vijftal heeft inmiddels op menig podium gestaan (Paradiso, Summer Safari/Berlijn, The Hague Festival, Boekenbal, Vollanalog Festival, SJU-huis, Camden Club/Dublin, etccc.) en was in 2008/9 de "huisband" van Nederlands eerste Burlesque-avonden: Tease-à-GoGo.
Onder eigen beheer is in 2009 hun 9-track album gereleased: "The Mod Jazz Affair".
Tijdens de release-party in Paradiso van het Serge Gainsbourg-tribute album "Gainsnord" (met oa. een intstrumentale WH5-versie van het beruchte "Je T'aime.. moi non plus") begeleidde WestHell 5 artiesten als Janne Schra, Irene/Flux en Suarez.
WestHell 5 verzorgde in 2010 het voorprogramma van de legendarische garage-band The Sonics in Paradiso.

ShareGroundation
Formed in the fall of 1998 by Harrison Stafford, Marcus Urani, and Ryan Newman, Groundation began on the campus of Sonoma State University's Jazz Program. (Between 1999 and 2001, Harrison Stafford taught the first course on the History of Reggae Music at Sonoma State University.) In 1999, Stafford teamed up with Kris Dilbeck to found Young Tree Records and release Groundation's debut album of the same name.
In 2000 they added to the line up David Chachere, a San Francisco based jazz trumpeter, and Kelsey Howard, a North Bay trombone player. Saxophonist Jason Robinson was a member of the band for a time, and has since gone on to become the head of the jazz program at UC San Diego. Drummer Paul Spina (Les Claypool, Will Bernard's Mother Bug) has been with the group since taking over for James Stafford in December 2001; he left the group in summer 2008. Kim Pommell and Kerry Ann Morgan (both graduates of Kingston's Ashe performing arts school) joined in 2006, and are featured lead vocalists on Groundation's 2009 release Here I Am.
The 9-piece band creates an altogether new Reggae sound, featuring swirling, jazz/funk inspired horns, stout Latin and African based poly-rhythmics, and soulful harmony vocals. Their concerts utilize live improvisation, in classic jazz fashion, and are renowned for their high energy, communion-type atmosphere. Having gained international notoriety for their progressive fusion style, Groundation regularly headlines major international festivals (Nice Jazz Fest, Summerjam, Sunsplash) and play to huge crowds the world over.

ShareBong-Ra
That is correct. Bong-Ra! His style contains a variety of crossovers and fusions of different genres, including metal, gabba, jazz, rave and jungle, making him one of the front runners of the breakcore genre.
Bong-Ra, Jason Köhnen's electronic alter ego saw life in 1996. Hailing from The Netherlands, Bong-Ra initially started as a dj, but quickly focused his priority on producing his own music in 1997.
Djax Records signed Bong-Ra in 1998, proceeding to release the debut album 'New Millennium Dreadz' and the 12-inch series 'Darkbreaks' Volumes 1 and 2. Bong-Ra at that time was accompanied by MC Guzman on vocals.
In 2001 Clash Records (a hardcore jungle orientated 7-inch label) was set up. In that same year John Peel invited Bong-Ra to do a 'Peel Session' which was released on UK label Death$ucker Records. Several vinyl releases followed in the period between 2001 and 2003.
From 2001 to 2004 the 'Breakcore a Go-Go!' parties were run and organised by FFF and Bong-Ra becoming one of the first (bi) monthly regular Breakcore nights in Europe. 'Bikini Bandits, Kill! Kill! Kill!' the second full length album was released in 2003 on Supertracks Records. This album saw an audiovisual co-operation with US based film company Gyromart. The track '666MPH' was used on the Bikini Bandits DVD and the videoclip to '666MPH' aired on MTV. The Bikini Bandits audiovisual project became an exposition in the Museum of Modern Arts in Arnhem, The Netherlands. That year Bong-Ra also appeared on some of Holland's biggest Festivals : Lowlands, Metropolis and Eurosonic. Also a small UK tour with DJ Scud and Soundmurderer followed.
In 2004 Bong-Ra set up his second label Kriss Records, focussing on edgier breaks (mostly combining metal and breakbeats). That same year the Center for Electronic Music (CEM) in Amsterdam asked Bong-Ra to produce a special 4 track EP solely using vintage equipment in the CEM studios, resulting in the 'Colony of Electric Machines' EP on the Vynalogica label. The 'Monsters of Mash Up' European Tour in 2005 with Shitmat (UK) and Enduser (USA) and a Japanese Tour with Parasite (UK) was followed by the third full length 'I am the God of Hellfire' released on Very Friendly and Ad Noiseam and the jungle/raggacore CD compilation 'Warrior Sound' on Supertracks Records (NL).
In 2006 a special 4 track remix EP of Venetian Snares' 'Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett' and the debut of Bong-Ra's main side project The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble were released on Planet Mu (UK). The politically charged album 'Soldaat van Oranje' was released on Sublight Records (CAN). Bong-Ra returned for his second Lowlands Festival, becoming one of the highlights of the Festival (according to Dutch magazine OOR). A second European tour and split 12-inc with Enduser 'The Kill' and a memorable muddy Glastonbury Festival highlighted 2007.
After the succes of Glastonbury, continued 2007 working on a variety of side projects including ; Deathstorm (extreme hypergrind project with japanese noise / grind legend Maruosa). [artists]Glowstyx (90's rave revival album). white darkness (uberdoom combining funeral doom with classical music). The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation (TKDE live improv sideproject). Köhnen vs Nottelman (improv hardcore electronica jazz core stuff).
2008 saw the legendary Bang Face Weekender take place, a festival with a legendary line up...a classic! The first Bong-Ra US Tour, and a return to the dutch Lowlands Festival.

ShareLize Accoe
Met Me Versatile Me heeft Lize Accoe haar solodebuut klaar. Ze werd
bekend bij het grote publiek als zangeres van Delavega, maar verliet de
groep om haar eigen ding te doen. Ze verzamelde een zeer degelijke band
rond zich en de verwachtingen zijn hooggespannen.
Lize Accoe is a former member of De La Vega.
The band made a splash on the Belgian pop scene with a beautiful mini-album and a striking single Surely. One year later the album "Falling Into Place" considerably broadened the band's horizon and in 2005 DLV received the Focus trophy for best newcomers at the ZAMU Awards show, the pinnacle of three years of hard work.
In 2006 Lize decided to leave the band to focus on her solo career and signed a publishing deal with EMI.
She is thrilled to present to you her first album Me, versatile me released 23th February 2010. The record - produced by Peter Revalk (Wizards of Ooze) and mixed by Steve Greenwell - is a blend of funk, soul and jazz.
HIGHLIGHTS: The DeLaVega album Falling Into Place stayed in the Belgian Charts for 29 weeks. With DeLaVega Lize played at Belgium's biggest summer festivals: Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Marktrock, Dranouter, PoléPolé...
Falling Into Place won the Zamu-award for best debut album
