Even while collecting experiences and new musical ideas in Amsterdam and Brussels, the young and upcoming musicians of Pol Belardi’s Force (formerly known as “4S”), have always stayed connected to Luxembourg, the country they all originate from. The first time the quartet played together in its first lineup (with David Ascani on saxophones) was a spontaneous concert at a local festival in 2009, and the chemistry felt right straight from the beginning. After some writing, rehearsing and searching for the right sound and energy, the result is a fresh blend of modern improvised music, drawing influences from alternative rock, pop and hip-hop, without forgetting the classical and jazz tradition. A first full-length album was released in January 2013, featuring a dozen of Pol Belardi’s compositions. As of November 2013, Pol Belardi’s Force had the pleasure to welcome a new member to the band, namely the very talented saxophone player David Fettmann. Seeing this change not as a loss but as a serendipitous opportunity to explore new ways of interplay and fresh sound textures, the band released a new album in 2014 entitled “Delusions of Grandeur”. So convince yourselves of the sonic experience given by the quartet, showing through their original compositions a unique approach to modern jazz with crisp and strong grooves, warm harmonies, gentle melodies, clever use of space, tension and release, different moods and a big amount of interaction and fun!

It’s not often one encounters an imagination with the depth and prolificacy of Jacob Collier’s. The London-based 28-year-old is dubbed by many as one of the most innovative musicians of his generation. In 2012, Jacob's self-made YouTube videos achieved legendary status in the music world, attracting the praise of such luminaries as Herbie Hancock, David Crosby, Steve Vai, and Quincy Jones, who manages Jacob to this day. Jacob’s debut album, In My Room, crafted entirely in his room at home, went on to win two GRAMMY's. His success has led to musical collaborators and fans including the likes of Coldplay, John Mayer, Ty Dolla $ign, Tori Kelly, Daniel Caesar, SZA, Charlie Puth, Jessie Reyez, T-Pain, and Lizzo (to name a few).   In January of 2018, Jacob began designing and creating a recording project on an unprecedented scale – a quadruple album called DJESSE: 50 songs, divided between four volumes, with each operating within a separate musical universe of sound, style and genre. Scattered across the four volumes are 30+ collaborators from across every facet of the music world. Djesse Volumes 1, 2, & 3 have earned him a GRAMMY each, affirming that Jacob is the first British artist to win a Grammy for each of his first four albums.

Arthur Clees is a new and fast-rising talent who emerges from Luxembourg with an intriguingly hypnotic take on minimalism that makes use of his prodigious skills on drums, with percussion and his own voice. At just 21, he already has skills and ideas beyond his years as he shows on his debut album, 'Stay, Temporary Home.' It draws influences from the worlds of techno, electronica and avant-garde world and is rich in distinctive melodies and emotional moods. At times it is all about the beauty of quietness and emptiness on tracks like 'Of Silence' and at others, there are refracted fragments of vocal on the likes of 'Afterdance' which recalls James Blake. A truly absorbing album of electronic artistry.
