There are few festivals where all musics are equal. Big Ears (Knoxville) and Le Guess Who (Utrecht) might make good examples. In Brussels, BRDCST (Broadcast, or Breadcrust?) operates on an intimate level, still incorporating significant artists, but not overcrowding the adventurous Ancienne Belgique venue, which is itself a home for all styles, filling its calendar with rock, electronic, hip-hop, jazz, folk, and global sounds. BRDCST proclaims itself as “the ideal antidote for paranoia and hysteria.”

Fact Mix 798: Elvin Brandhi
A “sonic mythology of confiscated acquaintances” from the Bridgend musician and sound designer.
Listening to Elvin Brandhi’s music can be a chaotic, overwhelming experience. The Welsh artist works with field recordings and voice alongside tools such as Ableton Live and Auto-Tune to create a “mutant paste” that sit at the boundaries of noise, sound design and club music.
“I am really drawn to certain frequencies, it’s often a search of matching the waves of my nervous state, tuning sound to my psyche rather than exerting an aesthetic ideal,” Brandhi says. “The Ableton void is like a self-hypnotisation process. I love the fullness and physicality of sounds embodied on record and tape and the scope it leaves for manipulation.”
