At the request of the Flemish Consultation Platform for Higher Education Brussels – Latin Quarter branch, AB and Studio Brussel will be providing the Brussel Brost after-parties. Brussel Brost? That's the welcoming event for students that will take place on Wednesday 20 October in the Canal area. One ticket giving admittance to all the after-parties costs 10 euro and is ONLY available for purchase at, and during, the afternoon programme. All info here: www.brusselbrost.be.
AB goes on location for the occasion, to the concert hall Magasin 4, located at Havenlaan 51b, and will present concerts by The Sore Losers, Flip Kowlier and a party with Turntable Dubbers there.
Two months after their silver medal in Humo’s Rock Rally 2010, The Sore Losers signed a record deal with Holland's Excelsior Recordings. They have just recently released their untitled debut album (produced by Pascal ‘Metal Molly/Broken Glass Heroes’ Deweze). The Sore Losers have been fusing their predilection for rock, country, blues and garage into their own unique sound since 2009. In the corridors they're compared to The Raconteurs but the band is equally inspired by Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Black Keys and other exciting folks. What's more, the band possesses an energetic live-set. Their single ‘Beyond Repair’ has been camping in Studio Brussel's Afrekening for 15 weeks now.
Premise 1: Flip Kowlier made the first real Dutch-language hip-hop album in Belgium with ‘En In Izzegem’ under the name ‘T Hof Van Commerce. Premise 2: Flip Kowlier made the first real Dutch-language dub/reggae album in Belgium with ‘Otoradio’. Think: ‘Aux Armes Et Cætera’, the legendary album by Serge Gainsbourg from ’78, that was recorded with the perfect Jamaican rhythm section: Sly & Robbie. The link? Deep bass and personable parlando. Or also think: Doe Maar. You already know singles ‘Mo Ba Nin’ and ‘Zwembad’ and now, after a brilliant concert at the Feeërieën, Flip Kowlier is pleased to return to Brussels again.
We'll be closing the party with the Turntable Dubbers. 4 hands, 2 record-players and 1 MC, that's all DJs Timaxx and Drezz need to put a solid mix of reggae, breaks, drum 'n' bass, mash-ups, afro-, balkan- and latin-beats under your butt. The ideal closer for a warm student welcome.
