Belgian Nuggets 2 / Various

Our treasure trove filled with Belgian gold nuggets is far from empty. Part one of Belgian Nuggets 90s-00s was a smash hit. Of course, all the accolades were just another impetus to outdo ourselves with volume 2. Whereas volume one was a blend ofmany different genres - from heavy guitars across Brit and synth pop to hard electro beat, mellow soul and cabaret - our second instalment will have the feel of a genuine album, albeit without abandoning the treasure hunt vibe that characterises the series.

Several big names were gracious enough to contribute to this sophomore release such as Dead Man Ray, Mauro Pawlowski, Vive La Fête and Lunascape (with ex-Hooverphonic singer Kyoko Baertsoen). Simi Nah, Paper Fox and the Walloons of Piano Club - with Melanie De Biasio's twin sister Melanie on the mic - serve up sublime electro pop, whereas Barbie Bangkok, De Bossen, Black Shark, Basics and Party At Vanzetti's (the band of Bart Vanneste, aka Freddy Devadder) cater to guitar and edgy (garage) rock enthusiasts.

Like volume one, this second instalment of the series boasts a unique design and detailed liner notes. Once again we were lucky enough to snare a renowned photographer: Amongst others, Frieke Janssens is famous for 'Smoking Kids' and 'The Sweetest Taboo' (exhibition in London early 2018). Let Belgian Nuggets 90s-00s surprise you and discover 20 spanking new Belpop gems!
