Paying their customary visit to the Nuits Botanique, the Black Lips once more ripped the venue’s Orangerie to shreds. The self-proclaimed “flower-punks” are currently on the road presenting Arabia Mountain, their sixth effort – produced by pop maestro and instant hitmaker Mark Ronson of all people. And whilst these new tracks resolutely sounded more “flower” [...] Read ›

You might not have noticed it, but we took a step closer to the future in our last edition, the red album.

With over 170 participating galleries, 80% of which come from abroad, Art Brussels is as international as it gets. Following one of many office discussions, where the topic du jour was gallerists dress sense (bright and bold colours vs plain black), Joke settled the debate, capturing local and European gallery owners as well as others coming [...] Read ›
Being desk-bound and office-confined doesn’t disturb us all that much during the winter. But, come summer, we’re itching to hop on a train to the seaside.

Picture this: A five course meal served by a two-starred chef in an ultra-white, ultra-modern, ultra-Swedish structure, located 45 meters above the ground. We couldn’t help but accept the invitation (despite a paralyzing fear of heights) to have lunch in The Cube, a concept-restaurant introduced by home appliance giant Electrolux. And even though it’s the [...] Read ›
We all remember Adam Goldberg for hilarious roles such as Eddie, Chandler’s psychotic flatmate in Friends, the neurotic Nicky Rubenstein in Entourage, or Mike Newhouse in Dazed And Confused. The actor, who’s had a hand at directing too, has been making music for over a decade. After releasing his debut Eros and Omissions under the [...] Read ›
Any artist’s main goal and driving force is creation. Creating life could be deemed the ultimate achievement.
