about

“Nostalgic, soulful and, of course, boogie-woogie.” That’s how Belgian DJ producer Boogie Belgique (AKA Oswald Cromheecke) describes the enticing combination of styles and sources from different decades that make up his music. Taking vintage inspirations, most notably from swing and jazz eras, and merging them with contemporary beats and textures is the young producer’s forte. This is pleasingly evident on Volta, the latest Boogie Belgique album for the Cold Busted label.

“Jungle Law” gives a glimpse into Boogie Belgique’s sonic palette. Tough hip hop beats and funky live guitar follow an intro of jungle ambience as a trumpet presents the melody. Soon some swingy big band jazz enters the song in an almost ghostly manner, while the insistent beat keeps the dance floor moving. Album opener “Go Slow” shows a different side to the coin giving the listener an uptempo broken beat rhythm, some bouncy bass guitar, snippets of string loops, and a lovely, forlorn vocal line that echoes the past. It’s a beautiful concoction, and Boogie Belgique delivers on many aspects of this style throughout his eleven track album. Volta is a satisfying trip in an aural time machine.

Tim (Tummy Touch / East Village Radio NYC): love it !

Quincy Jointz (Timewarp Music Radio Show / Radio 42.com / netmusique.com / Ibiza Global Radio): "Need somebody" and "Enigma" are the ones for me. The other songs are not really for me.

Belabouche (Midnight Riot / DiscoDat / FKR Records / Spare Change Disco / Magic Wand / JDP Disco / Paper Disco): Very cool tune! full support

Mr. Bristow (Subtek / Detox / BBP / Tru:Funk / Funk Blasters): Really feeling this - lovely!

DJ Nova (Rodon FM 95 / Nova Planet Radio Show): Boogie Belgique steps away for a while from his strictly smoked bar sounds, moves his garden and to the most cosy cafes places during the daytime and offer us his ‘’Volta’’. A simply, semi-lazy volta soundtrack in the city without any taboo (my fave tune of the album) to follow strictly his previous works…
