V2 records news – Hot Chip announces ‘best of album’, ‘Joy In Repetition’

HOT CHIP Announces Best-Of Album
Sept 25 "ready for the floor" (remix) Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor (Mella Dee Dub) (Official Audio)

July 25 Shares New Song "Devotion"
Hot Chip - Devotion (Official Video)

"JOY IN REPETITION" OUT 5 SEPTEMBER

More than two decades and eight studio albums in, Hot Chip remain as vital as ever: playful, profound and perpetually locked in the groove. Today, they announce their first Best Of album, Joy In Repetition will be released on September 5th. Mapping out an artistic evolution from DIY beginnings into "the greatest British pop group of their generation" (The Guardian) with six Top 20 albums, a Mercury Music Prize nomination, sell-out residencies at London's Brixton Academy and list of collaborators that includes David Byrne, Jarvis Cocker, Robert Wyatt and Brian Eno.

Joy In Repetition is a collection shaped by dancefloors, bedroom studios, festival stages and friendship. The record's title – alluding to both the lyrics of their career-defining track and one of Alexis Taylor's favourite Prince songs – captures something elemental about the band: a fascination with rhythm, but also the exuberant act of making those things, together, over and over and over and over and over. In another nod to "Over and Over", the album's artwork by the legendary Sir Peter Blake features a painted monkey with a miniature cymbal.

Following Coming On Strongerer, last year's 20th anniversary reissue, Joy In Repetition picks up where their 2004 debut left off, with Taylor, Joe Goddard, Owen Clarke, Al Doyle and Felix Martin as a fully realised group. Joy In Repetition covers the whole emotional experience of a Hot Chip album, from the stone-cold bangers of "Ready For The Floor", "I Feel Better", "Flutes" and "Over and Over" to their more melancholic and tender moments found on the likes of "Boy From School", "Look At Where We Are" and "Melody of Love" – the anthology also features a brand-new song "Devotion". 

Repetition is more than a compositional tool for Hot Chip; it's a philosophy. "There's joy in doing something again and again," says Taylor. "That's true of rhythms, of grooves and of making records together for 20 years. We're still doing it. We still love doing it."There have been numerous side projects over the years and parallel careers, notably Al Doyle joining LCD Soundsystem in 2005, but Hot Chip always return to each other. It's a sentiment encapsulated by new song "Devotion" which closes the compilation. A buoyant whirl of psych-pop that calls to mind The Beach Boys sipping Piña Coladas with Hall & Oates and asks for a rock in uncertain times, the song is "a celebration of the devotion to doing this project together," Taylor continues, as well as their devotion to their craft. "I think of Joe as being like Brian Wilson, with this huge dedication to finding how to make the most amazing pop music," he adds.

The video, directed by Will Kindrick and filmed in Japan, takes devotion to one's craft down a different tangent. Kindrick says: "I've spent a lot of time shooting in Japan recently, and have become obsessed with keibiin (Japanese security guards). I was waiting for a train and noticed a stoic security guard standing on the platform, his arm extended, robotically waving what looked like a lightsabre, and the most hyper-focused stare I've ever seen in my life. There was nothing behind those eyes but pure devotion to his craft. I started thinking about these humble heroes hitting the streets every morning—rain or shine—guiding us through traffic, telling us where to park, protecting us from obliviously stepping into active construction zones. What about the individual underneath the helmet? This video is me pouring one out on the curb for the devoted, hard-working keibiin everywhere!"

Though they'd bristle at the weighty notion of their 'legacy', the band have been delicately contemplating the "essence of Hot Chip" of late. Are they festival favourites doing it for the misfits? Outsiders who've burrowed their own lane between indie, dance and pop? A band on a mission to find humanity in the machinery? Or one whose longevity, as Pitchfork once wrote, "is proof positive that you can build a band around the concept of 'emotional intelligence'?"

All of the above. Joy In Repetition isn't only a retrospective, it's a document of Hot Chip's commitment to joy, curiosity and each other. "It's strange, you can't go back to the feeling of those early days," says Clarke. "But there's something comforting about that. These records hold those memories for us. And it's the shared experience that connects it all."

Hot Chip will celebrate the release of Joy In Repetition with a show at London's Troxy on September 5th.

V2 records news – Daniel Avery - Shares New Single feat. Alison Mosshart (The Kills

"Greasy Off The Racing Line"
ALBUM "TREMOR" OUT 31 OCTOBER
14.11.2025 DJ set @ Fuse, Brussel
Daniel Avery - Greasy off the Racing Line w/ Alison Mosshart (Official Video)
Revered producer and composer Daniel Avery today shares 'Greasy off the Racing Line', the latest single from his forthcoming sixth studio album Tremor (out October 31st via Domino). The track sees Avery join forces with Alison Mosshart of The Kills, a dream collaboration that results in one of the album's most vital moments.

Speaking on the track, Avery explains: "In many ways 'Greasy off the Racing Line' is the oil-soaked central cog of the album. A late-night drive through the darkened roads of the record. I've dreamt of working with Alison Mosshart for years - the first Kills music hit at the perfect time in my life, just as I was starting to make my own way out into the nighttime, Alison's voice literally soundtracking some of my most formative footsteps into the most exciting of worlds. I love everything she has done, she's as real as they come and it's an honour to have her be a part of this Tremor collective."

'Greasy off the Racing Line' sits at the heart of Tremor, Avery's most ambitious and transportive body of work to date. The record channels every corner of his sound: euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss, while remaining unmistakably his own. Across its widescreen arc, Avery welcomes an inspiring cast of collaborators including Mosshart, Walter Schreifels (Quicksand / Rival Schools), bdrmm, Julie Dawson (NewDad), yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yunè pinku, and Cecile Believe.

Introduced earlier this year with lead single 'Rapture In Blue' featuring SOPHIE collaborator Cecile Believe and Ride's Andy Bell, Tremor is a communal project built on spirit and connection. "This is a living and breathing collective," says Avery. "Since the earliest recordings, Tremor felt like a studio in the sky, a space in time through which we could all pass as artists."

Marking his debut on Domino, the album was mixed by Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails) and David Wrench (FKA twigs, Frank Ocean), and mastered by Heba Kadry - each vital to the creative fabric of the record. A new live show will launch with Tremor, culminating at London's prestigious Barbican on 8th November which sold out in a record 3 days.

With 'Greasy off the Racing Line', Avery offers another vivid glimpse into Tremor's immersive world. An expansive, collaborative creation that blurs genres and boundaries, rooted in the spirit of togetherness. Tune in, turn it up, and embrace the tremors.

Tremor will be available in multiple formats: Standard black double LP in gatefold sleeve, Indies exclusive red double LP in gatefold sleeve, Domino Mart and D2C exclusive, limited edition red double LP housed in a Tremor PVC sleeve with signed insert, CD, Cassette..

Even voorstellen – Frost children – Sister
Frost children – Sister - electro-pop band
Het Amerikaanse duo, dat bestaat uit broer en zus Angel en Lulu Prost, komt op 12 september met hun nieuwste langspeler; SISTER.

SISTER belooft een plaat te worden die doordrenkt is met de nostalgische EDM waarmee het duo opgroeide, gecombineerd met invloeden uit emo, electro en pop. Het resultaat is een zelfverzekerde, compromisloze plaat waarin Frost Children teruggrijpt op de eerste geluiden die hen raakten – een gedurfde en persoonlijke ode aan de sound die ze zélf willen horen.

Eerder deze zomer was Frost Children te zien op Best Kept Secret, waar ze met hun energieke liveshow indruk maakten. Dit najaar keren ze terug naar Europa voor een nieuwe tour, met shows in onder meer Amsterdam en Brussel.

Donkere riffs en pure emotie: ONRUST zet met single “Wanhoop” de toon voor aankomende album “Van Woede tot Wanhoop”

Donkere riffs en pure emotie: ONRUST zet met single “Wanhoop” de toon voor aankomende album “Van Woede tot Wanhoop”

Het is een tijd stil geweest rond de Antwerpse post-metalband ONRUST, maar vandaag doorbrengen ze die stilte met nieuw materiaal. Met de single “Wanhoop” zet de vijfkoppige band de toon voor hun aankomende album “Van Woede tot Wanhoop”. Die plaat komt uit op 17 oktober 2025 op het gerenommeerde Belgische post-rock label dunk!records.

“Wanhoop” is meteen een van de meest intense en energieke songs van de plaat en gaat over het gevoel vast te zitten in een wereld die steeds donkerder wordt. Hoe kwaad je je ook maakt over alles wat misloopt, het voelt vaak als een druppel op een hete plaat. Het nummer vangt precies dat kantelpunt, wanneer frustratie en machteloosheid omslaan in pure wanhoop.

ONRUST klinkt compromisloos en ongefilterd, een band die vanuit eigen kracht en visie werkt en geen genoegen neemt met half werk. Het album werd volledig in eigen beheer opgenomen, gemixt en gemasterd. De band laat zich inspireren door post-metal, sludge en hardcore, maar zoekt steeds naar een eigen geluid.

“Wanhoop” is vanaf 4 september 2025 te beluisteren
De videoclip is te bekijken op YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8P-LPJSHmk

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, na 25 jaar terug in België - Romeo & Juliet in Brussel en Antwerpen, oktober 2026

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, na 25 jaar terug in België - Romeo & Juliet in Brussel en Antwerpen, oktober 2026

Na meer dan vijfentwintig jaar keren Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo terug naar België. In oktober 2026 houdt de prestigieuze compagnie halt in Brussel en Antwerpen met één van hun iconische performances: Romeo & Juliet, een choreografie van Jean-Christophe Maillot op muziek van Sergei Prokofjev.
De compagnie staat symbool voor excellentie en creativiteit, en behoort tot de wereldtop.

Romeo & Juliet ging in 1996 in première en groeide uit tot een internationale referentie met zijn moderne insteek en emotionele intensiteit. Het veroverde de grootste podia, in Parijs en Londen tot New York en Tokio. Juliet neemt de hoofdrol op: een vastberaden heldin, een figuur van vrijheid en moed in een wereld vol beperkingen.

Choreograaf Jean-Christophe Maillot liet zich inspireren door cinematografische invloeden om het verhaal in een nieuw jasje te steken: snelle overgangen, verstilde slowmotions, stilstaande beelden. De sobere decors en het lichtspel creëren verbluffende clair-obscur-effecten, op een soundtrack van Prokofjevs meesterwerk.

Het belooft een totaal¬spektakel dat zowel liefhebbers van dans en podiumkunsten als van theater, muziek of cinema weet te bekoren. Dit emblematisch werk uit het oeuvre van Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo is voor het eerst te beleven in België!

Data en locaties:
? 21 & 22 oktober 2026 – Stadsschouwburg, Antwerpen – ticketverkoop via Ticket Master
? 24 & 25 oktober 2026 – Koninklijk Circus, Brussel – ticketverkoop via Ticket Live

Even voorstellen - Sam Vloemans – Bord du Nord II

Sam Vloemans creëert filmische landschappen op nieuw album ‘Bord du Nord II’
Een intieme ode aan de kracht van kwetsbaarheid met een Belgisch top kwartet
Componist, muzikant en producer Sam Vloemans stelt met trots zijn nieuwe album ‘Bord du Nord II’ voor. Na een eerste album in 2008 krijgt het project een nieuw leven met een bezwerende verzameling composities, uitgevoerd door een droom bezetting met Gwen Cresens (accordeon/bandoneon), Dominique Vantomme (piano) en Lara Rosseel (contrabas).

‘Bord du Nord II’ is muziek om met gesloten ogen naar te luisteren. Elk nummer is een miniatuur landschap waarin de luisteraar kan verdwalen, een soundtrack voor eigen filmische momenten. De trompet van Vloemans weent en zucht, de accordeon van Cresens fluistert verhalen, terwijl de bas en piano een bedding vormen van warme diepte en breekbare stilte. Het album is een pure ode aan de kracht van kwetsbaarheid.

MayWay records news - Aure nieuwe single ‘The Sailors' Tales’

MayWay records news - Aure nieuwe single ‘The Sailors' Tales’
Na de lovend ontvangen debuut-EP ‘A Few Notes’ uit 2023 (zie singles ‘The Line’, ‘Dans La Plaine’ en ‘Suddenly’) keert onze Parijse singer-songwriter Aure terug met nieuwe single ‘The Sailors' Tales’ een song die zich, wiegend op een dromerig walsritme, ontvouwt tot een pure en betoverende folkparel.

Het nummer is een mijmering over de horizonlijn die je kunt zien, maar die fysiek niet bestaat. Het is de eerste single van Aures debuutalbum (voorzien voor maart '26) dat gaat over het doormaken van veranderingen. Thema's als overgangen en en de perceptie van wat wel of niet echt is, keren doorheen het album terug.

Aure (Delaroière) stelde in het voorjaar van 2024 haar EP voor in Le Botanique en Paradiso en tourde daarna door Europa met Andy Shauf. Begin dit jaar werd ze voor het eerst moeder (zoon Yona), en in oktober keert ze terug op het podium. Haar eerste show is op het Parijse showcasefestival MaMA (ideaal festival voor een kersverse moeder, natuurlijk), waar ze in de legendarische (Brel! Brassens!) concertzaal Les Trois Baudets op Montmartre het door ons label gecureerde podium opent, naast Dressed Like Boys en Ão.

CURTIS HARDING ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ‘DEPARTURES & ARRIVALS: ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN CURT’ - OUT SEPT 5

June 25 LISTEN TO  “TRUE LOVE CAN’T BE BLIND”
Curtis Harding - "True Love Can't Be Blind"

Sept 25 The power  Curtis Harding - "The Power"

Curtis Harding is proof of the strange magic that happens when musical prowess meets unbridled imagination. Today the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter announces his fourth full-length album, a true-to-life reflection he soon expanded into an elaborate concept album about a pilot lost in space. Coming out September 5, Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt merges the lavish scope of a space opera with the pure feeling of classic soul—ultimately bringing an even greater potency to his wildly eclectic sound.

“Because I’m away from home so much of the time, a lot of these songs came from feeling adrift and wanting to get back to the ones I love,” he says. “I started envisioning this character who takes a journey and gets lost in space, then ends up traveling through different galaxies and dimensions as he’s trying to find his way back home.” Alongside today’s announcement, he has shared a gorgeously joyful track called “True Love Can’t Be Blind” which speaks to love that endures across a great distance, telegraphing a euphoric infatuation in its radiant piano riffs and rapturous harmonies. 

Naming Ridley Scott among his favorite sci-fi auteurs, Harding notes that the extravagant world-building of Departures & Arrivals inspired many of his production choices, including the abundance of symphonic string arrangements supplied by Steve Hackman (a composer who’s worked with such diverse artists as Doja Cat and Andrew Bird). “I’ve always used strings on my records but never to this extent, and everything Steve created just took me to another place,” he points out.

Self-produced at Electric Deluxe Recorders (an Austin studio owned by Adrian Quesada of Black Pumas), Departures & Arrivals serves as the follow-up to If Words Were Flowers—a 2021 release hailed by the likes of UPROXX, who praised Harding for “making some of the best modern soul music out right now.” For Harding, the decision to handle production on his own stemmed from a deep desire to pursue his creative ideals without compromise or restraint. Mostly recorded live with a full band, Departures & Arrivals encompasses everything from moody space-funk to lush baroque-pop to otherworldly psych-rock—all while endlessly spotlighting Harding’s rich and captivating vocals and incandescent guitar work.

“I produced my first album so this felt like a return, although this time I was more confident and capable of sonically going where I wanted to go,” says Harding. “I really love the process of building worlds in the studio, doing what I want in the moment and experimenting with new sounds instead of doing the same thing over and over.”

Departures & Arrivals ushers in a bold new era for Harding while staying true to the profound sense of purpose that’s always fueled his songwriting. “Sometimes when you’re feeling lost, hearing from someone else who’s felt the same way can let you know you’re not alone—that’s really the whole sentiment of the album,” says Harding. “I hope these songs help people to recognize that feeling lost is all part of the journey, and that the journey is what’s most important anyway. And once you realize that, you’re on the right path. You’re already on your way home.”

Bivouac Festival 2025 – Bilan

BIVOUAC FESTIVAL 2025 – BILAN - Des arbres centenaires pour cadre de scène, une piscine au bord de laquelle musarder ou danser, un village, des activités, de quoi se perdre à contempler, des artistes passionnants à voir et à écouter : la 3ème édition du Bivouac Festival a tenu toutes ses promesses.

Sur une jauge de 1000 personnes, nous avons accueilli 750 personnes le vendredi et 600 le samedi. Les prévisions météorologiques pluvieuses ont eu raison des ventes de dernière minute. Et pourtant, le soleil a largement été de la partie, permettant de profiter au grand air, en version estivale !

Nous constatons un virage pour cette édition. Nombre de festivaliers ont fait le choix de rester tout le week-end, là où, pour les précédentes éditions, le public venait sur la journée.

Nouveautés 2025
Notre objectif principal : réduire l’impact carbone des trajets des festivaliers. Pour se faire, plusieurs actions ont été mises en place de sorte à privilégier les mobilités douces.

Une nouvelle scène piscine ! Jusqu’à présent, cette scène existait essentiellement pour prolonger la fête en clôture de soirée. Pour cette édition, nous avons aménagé un espace cosy dont les festivaliers ont pu profiter : un tournois de fléchettes, des jeux traditionnels en bois, un bar à cocktails, un espace chill avec parasols et transats... Le public a pris possession des lieux dès 14h.
