Big in Belgium : Hoover(phonic)

In 1996, when Hooverphonic released their debut album, they were actually called Hoover (but for legal reasons they had to change their name if they wanted to release music outside of Belgium, if I remember well...) Their music was sort of triphoppy and didn't go unnoticed, as one of their songs was used by Bertolucci for Stealing beauty.
Apart from the radio edit for 2Wicky (mp3), I have also added the DJ Pulse Dub (mp3) of that song as well as the song the original sample was taken from : Walk on by (mp3) by Isaac Hayes.

God = dEUS

This grafitti slogan could be found all over my town in the nineties, and it has to be said : Antwerp based band dEUS has made some great records so far... Four albums, one compilation albums and two EP's (Zea and My sister = my clock) have brought us some of the greatest Belgian songs ever, and then we haven't mentioned the bands surrounding dEUS (side-projects and new projects by members and former members) : Zita Swoon, Kiss My Jazz, Dead Man Ray, ...

Enjoy these fine tunes :
