Following the release of Indonesian experimental duo Senyawa new album “Alkisah”, les ateliers claus and Kiosk Radio are proud to present "Alkisah" REMIXED. 

The Brussels-based projects are proud to invite Sugai Ken (Japan), Céline Gillain (Belgium), Sagat (Belgium), Tolouse Low Trax (Germany), Dntel (USA) and Front de Cadeaux (Italy/Belgium) to reshape ‘Alkisah’ stories. Through this eclectic selection of artists, Les Ateliers Claus and Kiosk Radio aim to bring a variety of musical genres and shine a different and surprising light on Senyawa’s compositional works. Going from a musique-concrète approach, towards dub, experimental club and dance floor bangers, the Remix LP highlights the timelessness of Senyawa's music. 

Senyawa's Alkisah was co-released a few weeks ago by 44 independent record labels from all over the globe, in an attempt to decentralise the hierarchical workings of the music industry and its distribution system. Each label partner was given "carte blanche” on artwork, promotion, packaging and number of copies released. The labels involved were also encouraged to include remixes from local artists, leading to hundreds of reinterpretations around the world.

“Decentralization should be the future. It’s not about Senyawa anymore. It’s not about our album. We don’t want to dominate anybody. This can be anyone’s music.” (Rully Shabara)

City Band LP out now on Bruit Direct Disques
http://bruit-direct.org/prod/city-band-city-band/

Here's a document of a Paris now gone.Paris still jingling in our heads, it's a stretch from Françoise Hardy's timid voice to the best French indie pop band you've never heard of, Freluquets. It's a stretch, still fighting in the streets over the capitalist laws or over a girl, or was it a boy? Gentle strumming, lonely notes for lonely garçons, now men. Going nowhere in your head, still hearing The Go-Betweens, a bit of quirk and crunch à la Monochrome set. How that makes for an imaginary Paris of 2020

Live recording from Keiji Haino his concert at les ateliers claus on 7th October 2019 - Brussels, Belgium

We all know Keiji Haino as a legendary musician and it's always a special experience to host him. The day prior to his concert at les ateliers claus, he came to Brussels and expressed his wish to do some record shopping. And so we did - in between soundcheck and the actual concert. Keiji Haino likes to hear unique sounds and performers and so we went on a search. In a certain store in Brussels I made him listen to one of my favourite albums by Igor Wakhevitch (Hator) - he listened and promised me half-jokingly his performance at les ateliers claus would be better.
