Mixtape #129


Ghent trio Steiger took us by storm with their exhilarating music, both composed and improvised, amalgamating various genres and influences. A mainstay in the Belgian jazz scene with an adventurous inclination, the outfit of Gilles Vandecaveye, Kobe Boon and Simon Raman sit at the intersections of jazz, rock, pop, classical and electronic music. They are constantly in search of exciting new sounds, and their recent album, The New Lady Llama, is clear proof of that. So we’re ecstatic to start August with the superb mixtape they put together for us, offering a glimpse of their wide range of influences. Dive in below!

Mixtape #66

This month mixtape has been hand-picked by the inventive and inspiring artist and music producer Zahed Sultan. Here are a few words about the mix from Zahed himself:

"As a multimedia artist, I find myself inspired by places and spaces. This inspiration has, fortunately, allowed me the opportunity to explore various parts of our world – all the while digging and immersing myself into sub-cultures. And, in turn, sharing a piece of my own expression with said people(s).
This is a collection of songs that have recently been the soundtrack to my late night walks down empty streets in various cities - while on tour with the ‘eyeamsound experience’."
