New genre-crossing EDM music from Belgium: EgoB

Eclectic experimental electronic dance music, that is how seasoned Belgian multi-instrumentalist EgoB describes his latest venture. This unique blend combines lo-fi hip hop with musical themes and crosses psychobilly with trip hop. EgoB releases at least one single a month and is available for DJ sets and live performances. EgoB has been active in the music scene for over twenty years, mainly doing DJ sets in Belgium and the UK. During COVID-19 lockdown, he started writing his own tunes, collaborating with other indie artists, and releasing his art on YouTube and Spotify. Besides his own creations, he also makes remixes of the artists he likes, playing all instruments including guitar, keyboards and drums, while also occasionally singing. The music by EgoB is mainly instrumental, except for the occasional sampled voices or his 5-year-old daughter joining in. EgoB counts on the vibe and the atmosphere of his music to let each listener detect their personal message, rather than influencing them by lyrics. EgoB finds his inspiration for the music in whatever surrounds him. Going out for a run and hearing water being pumped up may incite him to make a sample of the sound and reuse in his songs. Using low-cost equipment, EgoB wants to prove you don’t need expensive gear to get an audience excited on the dance floor. Listen to EgoB on his YouTube channel or on Spotify or go to the EgoB.be website to buy some of his merchandise.
