Blu Samu
Blu Samu
  • belgian hip hop

From Portugal to Brussels, passing through Antwerp, Blu Samu (23) already lived several lives. Somewhere in between poet and urban samurai, Blu Samu tells her story through an intuitive mix of hip hop and soul, using her hoarse voice to express her love of words.
She moved in with her friends from Le 77 in Brussels, and in them -and Zwangere Guy- she found a real crew, a family; resulting in quickly becoming the new sensation of Belgian hip hop. She confirmed her status by winning the red bull elektropedia award for best upcoming urban artists and performing at massive festivals such as Dour and Pukkelpop.
When she’s not performing in Belgium, Blu Samu plays one gig after the other all over Europe representing Brussels with her DJ Loumana by her side.

Chaton Laveur
Chaton Laveur
Chaton Laveur, a wild and instinctive duo, embodies a minimalist, raw, and authentic kraut-pop. Feasting on light and intoxicating melodies, it cuts a straight path filled with repetitive rhythms and analog sounds. Its sweet French voices, while revealing a shadowy side, echo its enigmatic name. [Last update: 19/11/24]
