“Five passionate musicians who met in the hallways of the Antwerp Conservatory are making a remarkable difference in the sonic landscape in and around the city. Their dynamic repertoire cannot be categorised under one label. Rooted in jazz and influenced by rock, funk and fusion, with a strong anchor in hard bop, they create a sound where the echoes of the classics blend with the freshness of their future music.

The schematically structured grids of their compositions provide room for improvisation, allowing the mix of genres and stylistic influences to remain fresh, crisp and vibrant. By continually breathing new life into the music, this collective has cultivated a hive mind. Their swarming tonality results in uncrystallised, yet liquid honey. You won’t find it sweeter anywhere else.”

— Raphaël Vandeputte

After their first experiments were captured on an EP and they played at Brosella, Gent Jazz and Jazz Middelheim, they released their debut album ‘Open For Business’. They introduced it at sold-out venues including Roma, the Depot, Dizzy’s Jazz Club, N9 and Hnita Jazz Club, as well as at Brussels Jazz Weekend and, once more, Jazz Middelheim.

The press response has been extremely positive: four stars in De Standaard and Knack Focus, interviews for Radio 1, Het Nieuwsblad and Gazet Van Antwerpen, and airplay on Radio 1 and Klara.

The band is looking ahead with a clear and ambitious vision: a next album in the autumn of 2027, followed by an extensive tour, and a growing international presence.
