Blaes Birthday Weekender - Day 1 (17.09.21)

Herbal Tea #1

Recording of my one-hour session in the Red Light District in Amsterdam for @redlightradio.
I try as much as possible to tell my music personality and do a balance between melancholic lullabies and tracks you can find new move on it.
This mix features Belgian artists, labels and friends such as @hielehiele, @lawrenceledoux, @deroovictor, @vlek, @ekster-label

Thomas Defise @ Red Light Radio 02-19-2019

On Thursday 16th May, I had the chance to take care of the DJ booth between and after the concert of Sun Ra Arkestra and Theon Cross.
Here is the record of the set between Sun Ra Arkestra and Theon Cross.

Mithra Jazz Festival 2019

It was quite hard to believe when the stoner dude I met at the Salon Des Amateurs a few years ago, ask me to do a mix for his monthly show on The Word.
His name is Ernesto and you may already cross one of his projects such as Bear Bones Lay Low, Tav Exotic, Carcass Identity or recently A.N.I. (with Don't DJ and Black Zone Myth Chant), if not, use you favorite search engine.

The mix feature Experimental Spoken Word, Turkish Rap, Belgian forgotten gems, lullabies from Shanghai, Minimal Wave from Spain, Canadian Drum&Bass, weirdo Russian Folk and many more.

Blaes Birthday Weekender - Day 3 (19.09.20)

Young music enthusiast from Liège, hungry of sound explorations, that started to express himself in small bars in 2015.
In 2018, he co-started a musical the collective “Les Flâneurs” which aims to explore genres that are less exposed in Liege, by throwing parties all over the different bars and clubs in Liege and inviting guest such as Pasiphae, Jasmìn, Gamma Intel and Max Abysmal.

End of 2018, he as been asked to be the resident DJ of the Hybrid events which enabled him to play next to Le Motel, Christian Loffler and Otha.

This leads him to play after the prestigious Sun Ra Arkestra, passing by Red Light Radio and to stop by Lille’s craziest Aperomix parties.

Beside of playing music, Thomas is also known to help non-profit music events as well as a natural wine bar called "Blaes" which bring a small taste of listening bar on Liège.
