1. A/T/O/S releases new album 'Waterman' on Deep Medi (UK)
Introduced by a mutual friend, A/T/O/S started creating music together. Their first creation, ‘A Taste Of Struggle’ was quickly picked up by dubstep pioneer Mala, who signed them to his label DEEP MEDi. Their debut release received an early spin by BBC 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs and impressive remixes by Skream and Commodo.
Their new album ‘waterman’, is the 3rd on DEEP MEDi, following their self-titled debut ‘A/T/O/S’ and the follow-up ‘Outboxed’. ‘Waterman’ once again sees A/T/O/S exploring new territories with their formula of exciting beats and powerful vocals, accompanied by Michiel De Malsche (@MIDM) on the keys as their ‘secret, not so secret’ member in the studio & on stage.

2. NAH presents 'Mortal Glitch' (out now via Bandcamp)
We just gonna quote a review here from his latest album:
“MORTAL GLITCH is deadly precise in it’s use of aggressive and chaotic noise with percussion as it’s backbone. Great features, Cities Aviv soars and Cavalera feature was a surprise. The best of old and new NAH projects show through here, and then some. Favorite track: Ruby Fucking Red.”

4. Bosbubble show - the videos
With Bosbubbles, Het Bos puts a musician or band in a bubble every week with an artist-scenographer to work diligently on a scenographic setting. Each Bosbubble is brilliantly captured and edited into a video clip, concert registration, short film or musical cartoon by blonde film god Maxim Hectors. Moreover, every Friday evening, you can see the musician or band in question live at work in the setting of the scenographer.

5. Youniss: "Youniss" album (on preorder)
This album is not just a collection of songs; it’s an exploration, a road map of my personal identity and the perception around it. Every song is a part of me and how I’ve experienced the growth of my identity, before and during the writing of this project. The people I have invited to feature on this album are people that share my vision or have contributed to it.

7. Claire Chevalier & Voetvolk: Piano Works Debussy (Rotkat Records)
With Piano Works Debussy, the French pianist Claire Chevallier places the work of Claude Debussy in a new light: modern and enormously diverse. She exposes the great contrasts in Debussy’s piano textures, ranging from a very rich sound in his Estampes to the finesse of his Elégie. Chevallier thus pays tribute to Debussy as a rebel and challenger among the steady composers, dwelling on his different periods. With the warm, woody and harmonic sound of her Erard piano from 1920, the pianist brings the work of Claude Debussy back to life in an inimitable way.
