Sales Information:
Our treasure trove filled with Belgian gold nuggets is far from empty. Just six months after the initial launch of our compilation series, volume 2 is set to drop in late May.
Part one of Belgian Nuggets 90s-00s was a smash hit. We chalked up rave reviews both at home and abroad (Knack Focus, Humo, Het Nieuwsblad, De Morgen, De Volkskrant (NL), OOR (NL), The Wire (UK), etc.) and even famous Dutch writer Nico Dijkshoorn sung our praises in a column.
Of course, all the accolades were just another impetus to outdo ourselves with volume 2. Whereas volume one was a blend of many different genres - from heavy guitars across Brit and synth pop to hard electro beat, mellow soul and cabaret - our second instalment will have the feel of a genuine album, albeit without abandoning the treasure hunt vibe that characterises the series.
Several big names were gracious enough to contribute to this sophomore release such as Dead Man Ray, Mauro Pawlowski, Vive La Fête and Lunascape (with ex-Hooverphonic singer Kyoko Baertsoen). Simi Nah, Paper Fox and the Walloons of Piano Club - with Melanie De Biasio’s twin sister Melanie on the mic - serve up sublime electro pop, whereas Barbie Bangkok, De Bossen, Black Shark, Basics and Party At Vanzetti's (the band of Bart Vanneste, aka Freddy Devadder) cater to guitar and edgy (garage) rock enthusiasts.
We’ve also included squeaky clean pop songs by Sugar Kane and Red Elmo, pining indie pop gems by The Germans and Confuse The Cat, laid back, nightclubby jazz pop by Stuffed Babies On Wheels and a majestic ‘Air-meets-Moby’ instrumental by Delavega.The only Dutch-speaking song on the record is the exquisite avant-garde track ‘Ten Dans’ by De Legende, a project by Elvis Peeters (ex-Arome Di Amore), who has meanwhile made a name for himself as a writer. And finally we are particularly proud to introduce the fantastic cult single ‘Constant (Raving)’ by the mysterious Sue Daniels, the kind of song that perfectly captures the essence and the raison d’être of Belgian Nuggets 90s-00s.
Like volume one, this second instalment of the series boasts a unique design and detailed liner notes. Once again we were lucky enough to snare a renowned photographer: Amongst others, Frieke Janssens is famous for 'Smoking Kids' and 'The Sweetest Taboo' (exhibition in London early 2018).
