Basic moves

Ambient night

Basic Moves has selected two high potential artists who promise to be greatly respected in the future. For Basic Moves GRAND RIVER and BEN BERTRAND stand out in all the experimental new music we’ve been exploring. We’re very happy to present them in a open air setting in Brussels. See you there for the start of the Ambient Night at KANAL - Centre Pompidou! 

 

Grand River (Spazio Disponibile) LIVE

 

We came across the music of Dutch-Italian composer Aimée Portioli via her debut album Pineapple on Donato Dozzy and Neel’s record label Spazio Disponibile. The album grew on us like ivy and found its way into several ambient dj sets. We really wanted to know who the person was behind this wonderful creation and from the moment KANAL - Centre Pompidou asked us to curate a concert night we directly knew that Grand River would be the perfect live act. Even though it’s happening next to the infamous Brussels canal and not a river.

 

Ben Bertrand (Les Albums Claus) LIVE

 

Funny coincidence: last year Ailsa and I where playing a sunrise set at Meakusma festival and we put on the song Orion Molecular Cloud from Ben’s Debut album Ngc 1999 on Brussels-based record label Les Album Claus. Someone stepped up to us around 8AM and said “That’s my track! Tank you for playing my music”. This made an instant connection and made us intrigued to hear the bass clarinet player/composer from Brussels's live show. 

 

Islas & Walrus (Basic Moves) DJ SET

 

Basic Moves is a Brussels-based "outsider club music" label and artistic research project run by Islas and Walrus. Their focus not only stays on club-related sounds but also drifts off to undogmatic ambient and chillout music. This summer the duo spread out their musical carpet to all the relaxed birds and spiritual koalas for a warm up set before the the rest of the Ambient night at KANAL!
