Milan W.
In the cobbled streets of Antwerp, where shadows play and the wind whistles through ancient walls, Milan W. (aka Milan Warmoeskerken) has become a cornerstone of the Flemish experimental scene. Whether as a member of semi-cult bands like Flying Horseman and Condor Gruppe, as an electronic composer on the late Ekster and JJ Funhouse labels, making synthpop with Mittland och Leo, and wading through playful Schlager with Gerard Herman.

Under the Milan W. moniker, he crafts music that is intimate yet expansive. Traditionally electronic-oriented, his latest work meanders through guitars, saxophones, and heartbroken crooning. Milan W. is a testament to an artist who ceaselessly ventures beyond the horizon, pushing musical boundaries with a wink, a nod, and the quiet laughter of the uncharted.


das bisschen Totschlag:
As yesterday was s+ll tomorrow today, Fabian, Niklas and Max are building bridges to the past and the future with absolute open-mindedness. As das bisschen Totschlag, the trio from Hamburg and Berlin merge humour and pathos, human distance and mechanical warmth in their genre-binding and uCerly contemporary and dreamy pop composi+ons. By exploring the boundaries of soD- and hardware, their arrangements highlight the fallibility of non- human objects, offering us characters to sympathise with. Oscilla+ng between several media, the constant mix of endogen and electronic manipulates our percep+on about the fake and the real - and culminates into a feeling of disorienta+on. On a blurred trip into tomorrow, das bisschen Totschlag mixes Mephistophelian promises from Virtual Reali+es with the DIY ethos of various punk influences - and keep finding new ways to sound different from everyone else.
