Note: Filastine is still creating music, art and ideas, but has escaped from the commercial music industry. This account is now an archive. Bio below-
Grey Filastine is a multimedia artist dedicated to undermining borders. His music collides electronic beat production with dense layers of voice, concréte sounds, and strings. Pitchfork says it “sounds less like `world’ music and more like music from another world.” Another world is exactly what he aims to create, using sound, video, and dance to express a radically different vision of the possible. 
Filastine’s higher education is limited to driving a taxi in the United States, where he also founded the Infernal Noise Brigade marching band to live score the 1999 revolt against the WTO in Seattle. In 2006 DJ/Rupture released Filastine’s premiere album, Burn It!, which relocated him to Barcelona and launched a decade of releases and tours. His latest AV effort, Abandon, is a video series profiling dances of emancipation, filmed in locations from coal mines in Borneo to office cubicles in America.
Filastine is foremost a performing artist, where sound, image, and ideas are embodied. He is constantly on tour, appearing at festivals like Sonar (ES), Sydney Festival (AU), Downtown Cairo Arts (EG), Decibel (US), Foreign Affairs (DE) and Mutek Tokyo (JP). But Filastine’s work sometimes doesn’t fit any stage or category, his off-piste interventions include an official mixtape for The Act of Killing documentary, a Sound Swarm at the Paris Climate Summit, or a concert in the Calais Jungle migrant camp.

One guy, ten fingers, thousands of possibilities ! 🦚

Hashashin is the psytrance project of Belgium based musician Quentin Van Houtte. His musical journey started in the early 90's as a drummer playing metal beats in the basement with his elder brother on guitars. In 2004, he got violently hit by electronic music and eventually built a home studio to focus all his energy on music production. 

Since his first appearance behind the decks in 2009, this rastaman has been shaking his dreads for his audience in unimaginable dancefloors from a deep tropical jungle to a fancy castle including a WW2 bunker. Hashashin live sets at monstrous festivals such as Modem, Universo Parallelo, Hadra, Shankra, Waldfrieden, Wao, Space Safari, among others were epic. His improvisation skills allow him to adapt to the vibe of every dancefloor. 

He joined the Brussels crew "Elektro Magnetik" in 2009, and was signed on by "Green Tree Records" later in 2013. Since 2017, he is sailing on the "World People Production"  boat and is also a resident artist for "High Frequencies". He released more than 80 tracks, including 2 full albums and 2 EP’s besides being featured on numerous VA’s. Hashashin’s collab repertoire includes notorious blasters like Synthetik Chaos, Virtual Light, Jumpstreet, Yabba Dabba, Dr Fractal, Juan Mad, Wood Warden, etc… 

His music oscillates between 148 to 152 bpm, providing strong and groovy basslines, tribal hypnotic percussions, twisted organic synth textures and funny samples  bursting dancefloors into a powerful explosion.

«Aborë Live Electro» est un spectacle musical d'1h20 qui vous emmènera dans un voyage original et inatemporel. Des instruments traditionnels, joués en live, tels que le didgeridoo, le tambour, la guitare ou la flûte chamanique se combinent allègrement avec les boites à rythme et les synthétiseurs dans un univers où renaît le temps des tribus et du rêve !

Les compositions s’enchaînent en une vague extatique emmenant progressivement le spectateur dans des sonorités trip-hop, dub, global bass et transe. Les basses puissantes des machines se mélangent avec des éléments musicaux de toutes les régions du monde, des Balkans à l'Asie, de l’Amérique Latine, à l'Australie en passant par le Moyen-Orient.

Au travers de ses textes, Aborë rêve d'une humanité où toutes les tribus se réunifieraient en célébrant le vivant au pied de l'arbre géant de la vie ; les racines ancrées dans la terre des ancêtres et les branches élancées vers les étoiles. Un monde aussi où les machines et la technologie serait en symbiose avec la nature et ses créatures.

Styles : Progessive Electronic Music | Ethno | Folktronica | Natural trance

Le spectacle peut se jouer en salle ou à l'extérieur sur une bonne sono ! Les styles parcourus étant variés, l'artiste s'adresse à un public assez large en quête d'évasion et de danse.
