The Belgian composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Dienne builds songs and soundscapes that portray the images and stories playing behind her eyes. Combining analogue instruments like the oboe, piano, and flute with reverb-drenched vocals and shimmers of processed electronic sources, she creates hazy pieces of music full of the melancholy of remembrance and loss.




Her debut album Addio (2022) was released on Nicolás Jaar’s Other People imprint. Following the passing of her grandmother due to COVID-19, and being unable to properly say goodbye due to travel restrictions, Dienne set out to give her farewell in musical form. The result is a deeply intimate work that channels classical instrumentation through foggy electronic experimentation. Memories, biographies, and family histories merge in this simultaneously sombre and optimistic work, which plays out like a universal and comforting ode to loved ones lost.




In 2023, Dienne was a resident on Radio Alhara, where she hosted a monthly radio hour featuring carefully curated mixtapes. In between 2023 - 2024 she composed the soundtrack for the film installation Conducturis by Mira Sanders and Cédric Noël, a work that reflects on the tension between nature and technology. This project culminated in a full-length album: Conducturis. Released in January 2025 on Cortizona Records.

Nelle Bogaerts leven draait volledig rond muziek. Als cellist, zangeres en componist wist ze zich doorheen de jaren niet enkel innig verbonden met haar zus – als Lili Grace, met wie ze in 2020 het album Silhouette uitbracht - maar liet ze zich ook opmerken in verschillende theatervoorstellingen en -gezelschappen. Ze werkte onder andere voor Theater FroeFroe (UNDRWRLD, DIVA, Roodhapje, als componist/muzikant), schreef muziek voor de kortfilm Aura en maakte de muziek voor Brain Freeze, van Tim Oelbrandt …

Na de release van Silhouette besloot ze zich opnieuw toe te leggen op een intense studie van de cello, het instrument waarmee ze zich als sinds haar jeugd het best mee wist uit te drukken. Nelle Bogaerts laat zich inspiratiegewijs vooral leiden door een groot vertrouwen in introspectie en intuïtie. Alle muziek ontstaat vanuit het ‘zelf’, gedachten, monologue intérieur en de zelfontplooiing die eruit voortvloeit. Als muzikant/artiest wil ze zichzelf blijven ontdekken en verbeteren, niet enkel als muzikant zelf, maar ook als mens. En die filosofie gaat verder dan het pure muzikantenschap: als muziek/sociatherapeut in het OPZ Geel gebruikt ze haar muzikale bagage om mensen met een psychische kwetsbaarheid te begeleiden in hun artistiek/creative processen. Daarin is het vooral de wisselwerking met de mensen en het zoeken naar wat er schuilgaat achter iemands werk- en denkproces dat haar zo interesseert. Het zorgt telkens weer voor een bijzondere band. 

Wars van het metier blijft ze mens onder de mensen, en het is net die interactie tussen zichzelf en de wereld om haar heen die zorgt voor een quasi onuitputtelijke bron aan muzikale energie. 
Nelle Bogaerts ademt muziek, uit al haar poriën.

Use Knife is the exciting result of the raw synergy between Iraqi vocalist and percussionist Saif Al-Qaissy—who fled war-torn Iraq—and Belgian musicians Kwinten Mordijck and Stef Heeren, known for their passion for analog synths and organic wind instrumentation. 

The band tell a necessary tale of freedom, responsibility and the gulf between the Eastern and Western mindset. Even the instrumentation itself reflects this constant friction; intuitively muddling distorted industrial textures and jerky EBM pulses with brittle Iraqi rhythms and tonalities, Use Knife devise their own distinct harmony against the dissonant global backdrop. 

Debut album 'The Shedding of Skin' (2022) received critical acclaim by The Quietus, Mixmag and Knack Focus, a.o.. They played at festivals such as Le Guess Who?, Sonic City, Videodroom, Grauzone, Botanique, Worm, Wrong Fest, Roadburn, Suoni Per Il Populo, Wave-Gotik-Treffen and We Are Open a.o.

Additionally, ‘Peace Carnival’ was released on Morphine Records —a 10” remix EP featuring tracks from the debut album reinterpreted by Muqata’a مقاطعة, Zoë Mc Pherson, and Rabih Beaini.

Their new album ‘État Coupable’ (March 2025) is mixed by Jerusalem in My Heart's Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, who also created the contrasting ambient 2nd part of the title track, while New York based engineer Heba Kadry (Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nicolás Jaar) handles the mastering. Nihiloxica’s drummer Spooky-J, also laid down a post punk beat on first single ‘Freedom, Asshole’.

Youniss Ahamad crafted Use Knife’s distinct visual language, evoking rawness through direct and distorted imagery, and developed scenography and visuals that truly enhance their live show, creating “an all-embracing vortex that allows those experiencing it to plunge, headfirst, into a hypnotic state that veers between a dreamlike trance and a sensual workout.” (The Quietus)

Their radio show ‘Feeding The Gentry’ airs monthly on Palestinian Radio Alhara.
