Since 2017, ECHT! has been igniting stages across Europe, from Nuits Sonores, Lowlands, and Dour Festival to iconic venues like Brussels’ Ancienne Belgique and London’s Jazz Café. The Brussels-based quartet thrives on precision and chemistry: four minds and eight hands working as one. Their instrumental music raises more questions than it answers, pulling listeners into hypnotic, trance-like states where rhythm and melody merge, making individual instruments almost unrecognizable.
After their groundbreaking debut EP Douf (2019) and acclaimed albums INWANE (2021) and Sink-Along (2023), ECHT! is back with their most daring release yet: Boilerism. On this new record, they push beyond their signature bass-heavy sound, exploring faster tempos and embracing genres like acid, drum’n’bass, footwork, and UK garage. While the grooves hit harder and the rhythms get more mechanical, their flair for the unpredictable remains, with tracks that twist, turn, and surprise at every moment.
