Our programmers Kurt Overbergh and Marcus Deblaere crossed the ocean to attend the showcase festival SXSW in Austin a few weeks ago. They returned with the following highlights:

Hiatus Kaiyote
Quirky Australian neo-soul meets jazz-collective.

Leon Bridges
Southern soul in the blender with gospel, targeting the best days of Motown.

Vuurwerk
Fellow countrymen who ignite the electronic fire à la Mount Kimbie.

The Miseries
Dutch garage-rock, right in your face and with Tim Knol on the mic.

Rae Sremmurd
The buzz-act of SXSW ’15. Fan or not, the place got trashed wherever the brothers from Mississippi drop their juicy beats.

Boxed In
Exquisite English pop with wave-angle.

Courtney Barnett
Hardest workin' Australian indie girl at SXSW.

BADBADNOTGOOD
Furious jazz, not afraid of rap.

Run the Jewels
Killer Mike and El-P unite hardcore hip-hop with playing-pleasure.

Joey Badass
Rapper with a voice as raw as Busta Rhymes.

Ryley Walker
Also with band, pure and passionate fingerpickin'.

Hudson Mohawke
Because we wanted to hear his new tracks.
