Adriaan de Roover AKA Oaktree brings moody and enchanting electronic music, which finds a balance between the dancefloor and the living room. His productions represent touching harmonies, spherical soundscapes and minimalist beats.

He gets his inspiration from a broad spectrum of electronic music ranging from contemporary bass music and experimental hiphop to modern day classical music, and everything in between.

Oaktree’s Chapters EP is the result of years of polishing and crafting his sound. The EP is getting a special release to celebrate Record Store Day through [PIAS] Recordings Belgium, a label he shares with acts like Melanie De Biasio, Float Fall and Oscar & The Wolf.

When playing Live, Oaktree deviates from the basic producer + laptop setup. On stage he combines live electronics with vocals and a broad spectrum of acoustic instruments like violin, harp and piano. The result is a breathtaking combo which leaves nobody untouched.

The Oaktree Chapters EP is out on limited 12” for Record Store Day (April 19th).

11 - BEFORE THE PARTY’S OVER (Master)

“I want to go anywhere and dream away” singer Karolien Van Ransbeeck whispers in ‘Summer Sun’, Few Bits’ luscious new single, taken from their sophomore album ‘Big Sparks’.  A pitch-perfect mix of  shimmering guitars, hazy vocals and loose but galloping grooves. Imagine Real Estate tackling Mazzy Star’s ‘Fade Into You’ at 45rpm instead of 33 1/3rpm and you get the picture. But there’s a lot more to this Antwerp based band. 

Debuting in 2013 with a self-titled debut album ‘Few Bits’ they immediately stole hearts of music lovers in Belgium and beyond. The band got invited to support the likes of Vampire Weekend and The War On Drugs and went on a UK tour with The Lemonheads. Gaining confidence on stage night after night is clearly reflected in the dynamic and full dreampop sound of ‘Summer Sun’ and the themes explored on the new album. 

Karolien’s songs about the shadow side of love, about longing for something that ultimately always remains just out of reach, and about finally having the courage to relinquish control come from a deeply personal place. “I always write autobiographically", she explains, "I'm not really interested in writing from someone else's perspective. A song doesn't just have to sound good, it also has to express exactly what I feel. Otherwise I'd rather throw it away. I don't come up with fiction. Every word, every comma, has to fit my head and my heart." 
Fresh from making their US debut at this year’s SXSW Festival, and just in time for the Canadian Music Week and The Great Escape, Few Bits is ready to win over hearts and ears all over the world with their new single ‘Summer Sun’

Join us on their trip and dream away.

Oscar and The Wolf Orange Sky (Herows Remix)

"TRAVELLING MAN" is a first taste of what to expect on The Bony King Of Nowhere's 3rd and self-titled album.
Recorded in 1 long and creative night "THE BONY KING OF NOWHERE" is Bram Vanparys's most accomplished work to date. The songs are stripped down and pure, going back to the essence of songwriting: a voice and a guitar, lyrics and great melodies.
"The Bony King Of Nowhere" is a timeless collection of songs, a rare and unique masterpiece that showcases the true talent of The Bony King.

Moonshine (MASTERED)

David Lemaitre / "Latitude"

Originally from La Paz, Bolivia, David Lemaitre is the latest signing on [PIAS] Recordings Germany.  His music paires South-American melancholy with a variety of vintage instruments somewhere between Elliott Smith, Kraftwerk and odd Sufjan-Stevens-like elements with a feel from the 70’s.Megalomania in the end sounds a bit as if Jose Gonzalez was crossed with Empire of the Sun. David Lemaitre’s eagerly awaited debut album ‘Latitude’ will be released on April 22nd 2013.
