à;GRUMH... is a Belgian EBM group, born in Charleroi in 1981, and founded by S@3 Evets (aka Steve Natrix) and J@3 Seuqcaj. The group was active between 1981 and 1991, with 7 LPs and 1 EP the mini-LP Mix Yourself from 1985, and was produced by Daniel B, the member of Front 242.
[PIAS] co-founder Kenny Gates:
“I first met Philippe who was doing a fanzine in the depleted region of Charleroi and it was so funny that I reached out to him for some help in promoting our artists.
He subsequently introduced me to the music of à; Grumh which was unashamedly directly inspired by Front 242 who was at that time our iconic artist on the label.
Philippe loved their music but also had a crush on Daniel B, the music leader of the band. He produced the first EP and à:Grumh became one of the most recognized acts in the electronic body music scene. Their live shows were an experience too mixing their great music with a lot of animal blood on stage. To this date, Philippe remains one of my great friends, insists on calling me “Kully” and disgustingly also insists on licking me in the ear every time we meet. He is one of the most talented and funniest people I have met and is now a reference in the wine world of Belgium.”
