'Page Of Cups (Reversed)' was produced by MIA Award-winning producer Pieterjan Coppejans (Sylvie Kreusch) and mixed by Tobie Speleman (Dressed Like Boys, The Haunted Youth). With Lukja Vanaverbeke, Mathijs Steels and Lou De Smet, Dhaenens surrounds herself with an excellent band that makes just as strong an impression live.

ENGLBRT (LU)
Electronic Indie Pop
ENGLBRT is the collaborative duo of Georges Goerens and Niels Engel. The astonishing partnership sounds effortless thanks to the chemistry between two of Luxembourg’s most prolific and respected musicians. Like a well-adjusted science experience, they carefully draw from a vast field of source materials to achieve genre-defying results. After being active in acclaimed projects within the Luxembourgish music scene, both musicians retreated into renowned culture hub Kulturfabrik to eventually come up with ENGLBRT's distinctive sonic palette, laying the groundwork of future recordings with their EPs 'Odes To Everything' and 'SONG(E)S'.

Eosine (BE)
Post- Punk, Shoegaze, Dreampop
Based between Liège and Ghent, Eosine are a quartet of young twenty-somethings knocking firmly on the door of an international breakthrough, widely tipped as one of Europe's most exciting new indie acts. Their music sits at the crossroads of post-punk, indie rock, emo and neo-psych, held together by the intoxicating voice of Elena Lacroix.
In late 2024, the band released the EP Liminal , culminating in live favorite and closing track 'Digitaline' — a perfect distillation of what Eosine stand for: surrender, urgent guitars and drums, sharp tempo shifts and dreamlike vocal lines that demand the volume knob be turned up. Over the past year, Eosine have built an impressive, almost sacred live reputation.
In 2026, the band translate that live intensity into new music, paving the way for even more immersive shows and their debut album. First single 'And Now It Shows' offers an early glimpse: dreamy vocals colliding with raw emotion, wrapped in addictive post-punk and emo, with a touch of glam drama.

Hetta (PT)
Post-hardcore, Sasscore, Hardcore, Screamo, Noise-Inflected Rock
Hetta are a Portuguese post-hardcore band operating in the tense space between chaos and control, urgency and melody. Emerging from Montijo, just across the river from Lisbon, they quickly became a fixture of the national scene through fiercely kinetic live performances, relentless touring across the Iberian Peninsula, UK, and Italy, and a body of work that sharpens hardcore’s physical impact into something restless and emotionally charged—helping reignite screamo, post-hardcore, and noise rock in Portugal after years of relative dormancy.
Having played 100+ shows (around 30 internationally) and favoring momentum over excess and intensity over virtuosity, Hetta channel the raw discipline of post-hardcore into tightly constructed songs that hit fast and linger long after.

After three EPs, they released their debut full-length album, SANITY, at the end of 2025 by the Record Label Cuca Monga. A record that explores the fusion of drum and bass and hyperpop and the complexities of mental health, navigating personal challenges and social pressures.

Jo The Man The Music (GER)
Indie, Singer/Songwriter
Jo The Man The Music is the ambivalent experience of being a woman in her mid-20s and not losing her balance. And so a tightrope walk becomes a dance; for if there is a path, it must be taken. Somewhere between coming of age and an imposed adulthood, between supposed reason and the best possible, incorrigible optimism about life. Her debut single ‘Skinny Dipping’ reached number 2 in the FM4 charts and number 1 in the German Campus Ariplay charts.
In spring 2025, Jo The Man The Music played a handful of support shows as part of Oehl’s tour. These were received just as enthusiastically as her guest appearances in Berlin, one of the 24-year-old Styrian’s two homes alongside Vienna. Earlier this year, she was also on tour supporting Benjamin Amaru.

Kaat Van Stralen (BE)
Punk, Pop
Kaat Van Stralen refuses to be boxed in. What started as an original solo project evolved into a genre-defying punk band, joined by Melvin Slabbinck (drums), Anton Robberechts (guitar), and Faust De Vogelaere (bass), with Kaat herself on vocals.
Strict but fair, Kaat calls every genre to account. From punk and psychedelia to alternative spoken word, expect heated linguistic clashes, crackling beats, biting guitar riffs, and booming basslines.
In early 2025, Kaat Van Stralen released their debut single 'Stop Met Wenen' (“Stop Crying”), a punk rock anthem for women, outsiders, and feelers everywhere. The track earned them victory in De Nieuwe Lichting by Studio Brussels. In November 2025, they released their debut EP 'Vieze Vlinder' (“Dirty Butterfly”).

Karl (AT)
Indie-Pop
KARL from Vienna is a storyteller who moves between local bars, the stage, and his gut instinct. His songs blend Viennese wit, indie guitars, and the emotional world of Austropop into a sound that’s honest, raw, and relatable. He tells of long nights, fleeting encounters, hangovers, and moments of happiness—of the little stories that life writes and that connect people.
The 26-year-old, with Austrian-Mozambican roots, doesn’t write perfect answers to life, but rather songs about its rough edges and imperfections. Somewhere between melancholy and euphoria, dancing on the table and reflecting the next morning, he creates songs in which many people recognize themselves.

The Scúru Fitchádu project was launched in mid-2016 and released its first self-titled EP, “Scúru Fitchádu,” the following year.

Avant-Pop, Post-Rock
Belgian trio Lindy Versyck (vocals), Melvin Slabbinck (guitar) and Klaas Leyssen (bass) took the common Dutch diminutive suffix TJE (pronounced TYUH) and turned it into a full-blown band name. With just a minimum of gear they aim for a big impact, exploring the boundaries of their instruments, in search of dissonance and musical friction. “Filling the stage with atmosphere, their musical skill and three songs, they were able to give a performance that felt like a full evening’s setlist”, Belgian influential music magazine HUMO writes.
Just a few months earlier they’d released their debut EP ‘IDOLS’, blending wayward electronica with melancholic avant-pop and experimental post-rock.
