Stream/Download: music-for-dreams.lnk.to/wellb...

Rheinzand is back at it again releasing ‘We’ll Be Alright’ the first single from their upcoming album ‘Atlantis Atlantis’ imprinted Music For Dreams.

The trio wrote the entire second album in about a month. ‘We’ll Be Alright’ was born about halfway through the writing process. The first batch of songs comes very easy, as you prepare those in your head. For this track, the first moment of fatigue kicked in, as some mis- takes were made during the production. Some might say that mistakes have a negative connote, but these were for the greater good. Some chords were accidentally transposed, a “mistake” that resulted in the chorus as it is.

Starting with arpeggiated synth chords accompanied by the mellow piano playing throughout the track. Whether you’re walking with the head thumping 60’s bassline in- spired bass line by Bruno Coussée and minimalistic drum pattern by Stéphane Misseghers or swimming in the at- mosphere is driven by Mo Disko’s hidden gems and dance floor jams and the sitar guitar by Reinhard Van- bergen creating the perfect atmosphere for the message of hope in Charlotte Caluwaerts soothing vocals. You’ll al- ready feel quite alright from the get-go after listening to ‘We’ll Be Alright’.

Rheinzand themselves says that “the song is about hope for the future, a return to freedom, and a perfect mes- sage to start a new album campaign. Rheinzand is back, and we’ll be alright, and so will you.”
This is the beginning of a rather song-based album.

"Where there are mistakes, there is experi- ence."

We'll Be Alright

THIS IS A RECORD FOR THE SPRING THAT NEVER COMES. THE HEAT THAT WOULD BE ON.

Through old Ghent acquaintances here's the tenth release from the LDDLM bunker. RHEINZAND is almost our super group. Mo (ex Glimmer Twins but still shining), Rheinard, the multi-instrumentalist force and Charlotte, the softer voice.

We don't do retro but if we had, it would be them, chameleons on a sequin dress, sometimes camp, sometimes deep, sometimes even "disco clash" (the term is now copyrighted)

On remix duties, we have the lovely cat lover Lokier who turns THE FIRST TIME (track who was a big hit with influential minor players blah blah) into her own smacked out industrial groove.

AH, IT ALSO HAS THE BELGIAN COLORS.

This is part 1 of 2. Get the talk out.
Released June 24, 2016

All By Myself

Rheinzand releases their amazing self-titled debut album 'Rheinzand' on Music For Dreams. Available in all digital stores: music-for-dreams.lnk.to/rheinzandFA

After much anticipation, our Belgian disco diamonds Rheinzand present their debut full-length album. On their self-titled record, The Belgian trio wraps the human heart in synthetic threads of modular electronic disco. 9 songs writhing on timeless dancefloors, morphing in and out of shapes of luxuriant melody and vivid instrumentation.

The album is full of classic disco and electro sounds, wielded with imposing prowess by multi- instrumentalist Reinhard Vanbergen. It’s both an exploration of dance music’s electronic genealogy and the vintage cool that has defined its different eras. Still, an organic atmosphere pervades as the blend of real instrumentation fixes a sort of retro-futurism, imagining an alternative timeline that’s a bit more exciting, more sensuous and libidinal, maybe more human, too, than our current outlook.

We start the engines with Break of Dawn, a compelling beat rises from the basement and soon we’re submerged by the pulsing bassline. Dark sunglasses on, we cruise through the night, letting flashing city lights flow into unbroken torrents of color. Blind awakens us, a splash of handclaps in the face, vivid strings and Charlotte’s trademark slick vocals enter the stage. Tantalizing sunbeams power up circuits of electronic synths blipping and beeping away.

Later down the road, we hit the Latin part of town. Porque fits enchanting vocal spells in beautiful Spanish on playful flamenco rhythms. Fourteen Again is a throwback to early electro, playing around with knobs and buttons. An oscillating synth imagines new worlds of plastic

emotion. Still disco and still very cool, though. A constant velocity is sustained throughout the album by this recurring locomotive synth, trudging away beneath the action. Once in a while, we hear the deep, mighty, trembling voice of Mr. Rheinzand speaking to us in incantations. Someone’s pulling the strings here.

On Slippery People, the trio cover the Talking Heads classic in a characteristic procedure of bouncy funk. We’re swirled around by the delirious glasswork of You Don’t Know Me into the hypnagogic funk noir of Strange World. Drifting through the house of mirrors after the fourth mojito.

Obey collects all these threads in a full-bodied future classic disco anthem, before Queen of The Dawn wraps up the show with a sky-bound epic of operatic choirs and ceremonious drums that lands somewhere between Kate Bush’s Aerial and Peter Gabriel’s most bombastic.

Rheinzand is a collaborative project between Reinhard Vanbergen, the multi-instrumentalist producer, Charlotte Caluwaerts (Tundra) and Mo Disko from the renowned duo ‘The Glimmers.’ Live on stage they are accompanied by Stéphane Misseghers (dEUS) on drums and Bruno Coussée (MannGold) on bass.

Rheinzand’s music is a mixture of styles inspired by dance music’s rich history. Their songs give nods to old & new genres, forgotten & popular scenes in order to create their own take on today’s musical landscape.

Their exotic & eclectic style caught the ears of Danish label ‘Music For Dreams’ on which they released their debut self titled album in March 2020. Piccadilly Records (Manchester) voted the album number 1 album of the year 2020 and Phonica (London) gave them a well-deserved place in their top 50 of best albums of 2020. 

 Tracks from the album such as ‘Blind’ were championed by DJ Harvey during his summer residency at Pikes Ibiza, and the band have had tracks on the first two volumes of his Mercury Rising compilations.

The singles ‘Kills & Kisses’, ‘Obey’ & ‘Slippery People’ (their fantastic cover of Talking Heads’ classic) has further demonstrated their unique and flawless production that is capturing the hearts and dance-floors around the world.
As the live music industry held its breath for a year due to covid, the band didn’t get the chance to bring the first album to a club or festival near you. 

Nevertheless, they used that time well and wrote a second album, titled ‘Atlantis Atlantis’. Still using the same ingredients, you can hear an evolution in song writing, the use of different languages and more song-based structures. The release is planned for early 2022.

To keep momentum during the pandemic, the band and label Music For Dreams commissioned a string of remixes from their debut album from the likes of Gerd Janson, Red Axes, Musumeci, Pete Herbert, Peaking Lights, Superpitcher + many more. Released on digital & Ltd Edition 12”

Hailing from Gent, Belgium the band are set to tour upon the release of their second album 'Atlantis Atlantis' planned for the 4th of February 2022.
