Milan W. + MIAUX
Milan W.
In the cobbled streets of Antwerp, where shadows play and the wind whistles through ancient walls, Milan W. (aka Milan Warmoeskerken) has become a cornerstone of the Flemish experimental scene. Whether as a member of semi-cult bands like Flying Horseman and Condor Gruppe, as an electronic composer on the late Ekster and JJ Funhouse labels, making synthpop with Mittland och Leo, and wading through playful Schlager with Gerard Herman.
Under the Milan W. moniker, he crafts music that is intimate yet expansive. Traditionally electronic-oriented, his latest work meanders through guitars, saxophones, and heartbroken crooning. Milan W. is a testament to an artist who ceaselessly ventures beyond the horizon, pushing musical boundaries with a wink, a nod, and the quiet laughter of the uncharted.
Milan W. will perform his new album, which will be released on Stroom

MIAUX
Mia Prce, originally from Sarajevo and a Belgian resident since 1989, was reared on a psychedelic diet of Krautrock and similarly serpentine music by her artist parents who were part of the Antwerp-based Ercola collective.
MIAUX’s first musical crush happened during the tv reruns of Sarajevo’s 1984 Winter Olympics, where ski jumps on Mt. Igman were perfectly paired with Vangelis’ Chariots of Fire, set in the mass-melancholia of post Tito’s crumbling down of the golden Yugoslavian era.
Getting her first mini synth at the age of 5, while surrounded by the soundtrack of her parents’ records, made her love for instrumental electronic music grow even more.
After moving to Antwerp, Belgium in 1989, MIAUX grew up getting hooked on her father’s cassettes of kraut music, early electronica and loads of jazz. Graduating as a classical pianist, she was totally bummed out by the feeling of only reproducing other people’s music, she started writing her own compositions.
