Sam Haar and Zach Steinman studied electroacoustic composition and studio art, and became collaborators. After an EP release on London’s groundbreaking Merok Records in 2010, Blondes went on to release two full-length albums on the New York label RVNG Intl. In May 2014, they released Rewire, a collection of remixes by top-notch techno producers such as Simian Mobile Disco, Huerco S. Function, and Claro Intelecto.

As a DJ, producer, and label-owner, Julio Bashmore from Bristol, England, has mainly focused on house music infused with UK bass. Bashmore's big break came when some of his music was released on an EP by Claude VonStroke's Dirtybird label in 2009. That was followed by a few singles and has now led to Knockin' Boots, his debut album (2015).
 

@ FUMOIR

22:00 THE SPACE LADY (US / live)
A living outsider music legend finally comes to Belgium! The Space Lady began her odyssey on the streets of Boston in the late 1970s (and in San Francisco a decade later), playing versions of contemporary pop music on a dilapidated old accordion found in a junk store. Following the theft and destruction of her accordion, The Space Lady invested in a Casio keyboard with a phase shifter and headset mike, bringing a new and otherworldly element to pop music in interpretations that have captured imaginations worldwide.
