Etienne de la Sayette is a musical activist who defies any categorisation. Having studied jazz saxophone, his attention was quickly focused on world music, funk, reggae, soul music, and a number of varied projects with which he has toured most of the planet. He is leader and founder of Frix (jazz), Baeshi Bang (old school Korean pop), and co-founder of Akalé Wubé (ethic groove).

When he is not on tour, he composes for his bands or theatre/dance shows, for advertisements or documentary films.

In parallel to collective projects, he also revels not only in the composition of original music, but also in producing music on his own.

The multi saxophone player Koen Nys (°1965) studied at the Jazz Studio in Antwerp (Belgium) as a young twenty-something. Afterwards he became a true globetrotter, studying music at the McGill University in Montreal (Canada), and residing in Tokyo (Japan) and New York (US). Currently he teaches at several music academies and performs with the Muze Jazz Orchestra (under the direction of Lieven Cambré), the KollecTive (under the direction of Gunther valckenier, to name only a few, and with his own Koen Nys Quintet. Some years ago he recorded the CD “Turtle Music” (WERF label) with the Koen Nys Quintet. And now you can discover him with his new trio “MAZZLE”.

Founded in 2013 in New York with a strong European connection. Specializing in re-issues of rare titles as well as unreleased niche material. Expect the highest quality with a careful eye for the details both in sound and packaging.

Knitting together tunes, ideas and sounds. Music that lies in between.
