Boogie Belgique is the Belgian band founded in 2012 by Oswald Cromheecke. The project grew steadily through word of mouth,
and Cromheecke was eventually joined by Emily Van Overstraeten, Cedric Van Overstraeten, Aiko Devriendt, Ambroos De
Schepper and Martijn Van Den Broek. This collaborative approach to production gave birth to a new sound that stayed true to
the nostalgic flair of the band’s beginning. Boogie Belgique’s sound is a blend of electronic music and jazz, with hints of Bonobo,
Wax Tailor, and Quantic.
Varying anywhere between relaxing, intimate moods and energizing, danceable grooves, Boogie Belgique’s music is characterized by melancholia, vintage samples and a live big band feel. Four years after the success of the band’s breakout album Volta, Boogie Belgique is back with Machine.
Their sixth album draws
a parallel to the 1930’s both musically and politically. The album’s sound pays homage to the decade’s musical trends, such as
the crooners, big bands, and swing. The band puts this concept on full display in their album standout 'Wonder', which is a
modern crooner track inspired by Harold Orlob’s hit 'I Wonder Who’s Kissing You Now' with nods to fan favorites like 'Goodnight
Moon' and 'Forever & Ever'.
