Overdrive Festival

A one day indoor festival hosted by Het Depot & Inuit.

​

David Numwami

"That magical thing called pop. We don't always realize the impact a good piece of pop music can have on us. David Numwami understands this. In fact, he plans to provoke, study, manipulate, and create that impact. Determined to honor the legacy of this timeless popular genre, the Brussels-based multi-instrumentalist presents himself as the new romantic of French-language pop."

Turkish Kebap

Turkish Kebap is a band made up of five Brussels-based musicians, including Dilan Ozsu, who is of Turkish-Kurdish descent. Influenced by the psychedelic rock and folk music of the '70s, but also by contemporary sounds, Turkish Kebap is a subtle blend of rhythms and melodies that take us to the edges of the musical universe.

It's a bit like a recipe passed down through the ages without ever losing its flavor. It's music that makes us feel free and alive. It erases boundaries and time, transporting us to unknown horizons.

​

Egidius

Born into a world full of melodies and rhythms, Egidius' mother recognized his interest in music at an early age and enrolled him in a conservatory. What started as youthful curiosity gradually grew into a daily passion for music.

During the pandemic, Egidius began experimenting with synthesizers and high-pitched vocals. Two years later, he released his first EP.

He seeks harmony by blending classical elements of pop music with more experimental aspects of sound. During his live set, Egidius takes you on a dreamy journey while playing synthesizers, combined with his high-pitched and autotuned vocals.

​

ANGRYBODIES

ANGRYBODIES is an explosive performance that celebrates the emancipatory power of anger. To the beats of Anne van de Star, Anouk Friedli and Guus Diepenmaat (For Real vzw) deliver political manifestos in the form of punk songs. The videos of @angrybodies were rapidly shared on social media in a short time.

​

De Snoepfabriek

As eccentric as it is playful, De Snoepfabriek creates a playground for tinkerers Elias (Skikata Ga Nai) & Arno (Dishwasher_). These improvisers blend influences from jazz, electronica, funk, hip-hop, and more, crafting new sweet treats they love to share with their hungry factory audience. Think Yussef Kamaal in a blender with Squarepusher, or Go Go Penguin on a date with J Dilla.

​

The band is currently best known for their short 'SNOOP BEATS'. Their latest was picked up by Rik De Bruycker of Studio Brussel and Lefto. The factory is quickly spreading from Ghent to every corner of the country with their playful "friemelfunk."

​

Rick Bekstok

Ricky Bekstok is the fresh alter ego of Mathias Grymonprez, a member of the delightfully eccentric Bruges-based punk band Barno Koevoet & the Duijmschpijkers. Under this new persona, he blends techno, hip-hop, punk, and carnival music into a wild, overstimulating carousel of sound.

Kleinpunk

Kleinpunk is a Ghent-based band that transcends the (West Flemish) language barrier. Known for their biting lyrics and raw, stripped-down music—whatever that might mean—they serve up a mix of spoken word and catchy riffs, seasoned with soft-boiled rage and a touch of absurdity.

Centered around the cult personalities of Stanny Rijckaert, Luna Maes, Lander Lampaert, and Anthony Windels, Kleinpunk has developed a unique fan culture, with fans greeting each other with the signature "woef."
