Ventura Music Hall Presents:

BOOGIE BELGIQUE

Boogie Belgique brings the sound of forgotten jazz and swing records into the present. What began in 2012 as the bedroom project of Antwerp producer and visual artist Oswald Cromheecke grew into a band with an audience all over the world, and a sound that is melancholic, nostalgic and warmly human. The music has passed 100 million streams and is often compared to Bonobo, Wax Tailor and The Cinematic Orchestra.

In 2027 Boogie Belgique tours with Arcade, the new album, out in spring 2027. The album revolves around a fictional building inspired by the Maison du Peuple in Brussels: the people's house of the Belgian workers' movement, an Art Nouveau landmark in iron and glass by Victor Horta, which was a café, concert hall and meeting place at once, until it was demolished in 1965. Arcade is a tribute to the people who build a community, and to the love for craft and culture that connects them. It also asks what we lose when such places disappear.

Musically the album covers the full range of Boogie Belgique, from its electro swing roots through hip hop and trip hop to breakbeat and film music. In a time when more and more is made by machines, Boogie Belgique chooses music made by people: played by real musicians, with artwork and visuals that Oswald creates himself. On stage, the band is known for improvisation, interplay and immersive visuals that Oswald controls from the stage.
