WELVÄERT is an audio-visual artist from Antwerp, Belgium. His work is mainly influenced by late 80's/early 90's ELECTRONIC BODY MUSIC like Front 242 and early noughties ELECTRO REVIVAL acts like Black Strobe & The Hacker.

Every line of his tracks is crafted with the highest care for sensorial impact. Starting from a scenographic script, he follows the path of an abstract movement to welcome you in a different universe. Sometimes strong, bold and dark. Sometimes light, minimal and fragile. The sound reflects the energy beyond any limit of space and time. Feeling your senses from top down, till high up, you can't resist his quest throughout the sonic wastelands of noise, melancholy & euphoria. Enter the realm of WELVÄERT.

Grown out of earlier experiments, came the new collective called lohaus. We are a 4 headed band, constantly purifying our sound until we came to our current genre; a mix between trip hop and electro pop.

Born on the tiny Island of Guernsey to a Portuguese family, British singer- songwriter Nessi Gomes channels influences from both sides of her ethnicity, blending the essence of the traditional, emotional and ‘larger than life’ Fado folk music with British progressive modern inspiration.
Though spending most of her life in the Channel Islands, the turning point in Nessi’s musical expression took place six years ago when she lived in Central America. The years she spent away from her home shook her world and reshaped her writing. She shifted from the more obvious themes of love, loss and broken hearts to ruthlessly exploring her inner geography and the delicate fears, insecurities, beauty and light that she found there.
Her quirky and emotive voice began to reflect a brutally honest portrait of an inner world where shadows and light, sanity and insanity dance magically together; where mysteries are unveiled.
In October 2013, Nessi returned to the west with her deeply personal raw material and with a vision to record her songs onto an album. The task to slow cook the project was given to the Grammy nominee producer and film maker Duncan Bridgeman (1 Giant Leap, Hecho En Mexico).
Since then, over the last one and a half years, inside a rusty little blue boat on London’s Regents Canal, Nessi and Duncan recorded her debut album.
Both of them locked themselves in the boat while giving the songs the time to ripen. Duncan worked with great patience; Slowly opening a creative tunnel into Nessi;s inner world and peeling back layers of doubts and resistance. He took her sweat, tears and raw talent and transformed them into a complete album.
Some acclaimed musicians joined them on the boat during these 18 months and one at the time they coloured the music with immense talent. Amongst them are classical violinist Viktoria Mullova, modern classical cellist Matthew Barley, indie whiz kid Cosmo Sheldrake, folk singer Sam Lee, rising jazz talent Misha Mullov - Abbado, German Guitar maestro Rainer Scheurenbrand, electric guitarist Dave Randel (Faithless) and tech wizard Nigel Butler.
Together, this supergroup forged a tender mosaic, whispering witchy tales of dark and light resulting in a nostalgic, progressive and detailed production - a unique musical project that recalls the vocal witches of the West such as Kate Bush and Bjork, while following Gomes’s Portuguese roots.
Following a successful fundraising campaign (April 2015) in which more than $49,000 was raised, Gomes toured 12 European countries (Mid July - Mid September 2015), sowing the seeds towards the release of her album and growing a devoted fan base.
The album revealing an authentic and heartfelt search for light, depth, hope and truth. It is a quest of art, love and trust. It fulfils Nessi’s wish to deeply touch and shake the audience, to stir and shift something within them, to speak of the uncomfortable so that it may pass, and to expose and sing the human experience to its fullest expression.

We are a music label, not a record label. Vad Bra!

Additional to our 'decade-old' management and artist agency (yes, we've been around quite a while. You might even know us.), we started a music label... Sounds crazy, not? Well, call us crazy then. We like music, we want to support good tunes and we believe in musicians with a realistic ambition where fans and songs come first.

Piquet: experimentele pop met transoceanische vocalen. Ingetogen wanneer het (echt) moet, maar ook niet vies van punk en oosterse psychedelica. De band rond Lien Moris is op zijn minst apart te noemen. Haar stem heeft iets hypnotisch, haar vocals iets vervreemdend. Tegendraads, koppig en doelbewust zal Piquet je achterlaten met je onderlip ter hoogte van je navel.
