There’s something distinctly its own in the music of WESTHINDER — dreamy, layered, and deeply affecting. The Hasselt-based band led by singer-songwriter Stien Carlier creates electronic pop music that comforts, challenges, and quietly seeps under your skin.

With their latest album I + I, WESTHINDER takes you on an emotional journey in search of connection through difference. Where does light meet darkness? Where does silence flow into sound? And how can loss eventually become strength?
While debut album I (2022) mourned, I + I seeks clarity and freedom.

Musically, their sound thrives on contrasts: dreamy synth-pop where electronic elements dance with analog warmth. Expansive arrangements stand in contrast to Stien’s soft, soothing voice and emotional lyrics — sometimes abrupt, sometimes fluid — yet always sincere.

For this occasion, WESTHINDER performs in an intimate duo setting: Stien Carlier and Jan Viggria strip the songs back to their essence with two voices, electric guitar, and synth. Live, this creates an atmosphere of quiet intensity — music that moves, heals, and connects.

WESTHINDER invites you on a sonic and emotional balancing act: a journey from darkness to light, with all its falls and rises along the way.

Aziza is the eponymous project of the singer/bass player. It's infused with various influences from Aziza’s mixed roots and past. We travel from traditional african vocals to soul music and more. She plays with repetitive vocals, simple basslines and her singing.

Cissy is a songwriter, a singer and a producer from Brussels.

She creates playful synth-pop-wave with sharp lyrics, dancing on the line between humor and pain, hope and rage.

Her first solo-EP is a coming of age — a testimony of facing patterns, of growing out of old skin, of letting go and reappropriating.

Her songs all serve as reminders of kindness. They are trying to make sense of an inner and outer world, polluted by this colonial patriarchy. They are a groovy attempt to deconstruct harmful beliefs and narratives and make room for sincere connections, for dancing and humming our way back to ourselves and each other. This debut invites us to take a breath, to feel deeply and to play.

Next to her solo project, she is part of TRANEN, a high energy-singalong-post-carnival-punk band that will shatter your diaphragm and might provoke a tear. She previously released music with her past bands Bright Entity and BRUNA.
