ROCKERILL FESTIVAL VII : DAY 1 |FRONT 242 + ARNAUD REBOTINI & MORE

Peter Elm is a Swedish composer/producer based in Brussels. Having lived in several countries around the world, he has acquired an eclectic and unique background. A sensitive soul, he captures and absorbs the mood and vibrations of this crazy and chaotic world. While maintaining a strong, song-oriented approach updated with a more modern attitude, ELM delivers a powerful electronic assault, well-crafted for both body and soul. Poetry delivered with hard-hitting rhythms and relentless basslines. Solid music that aims to stand the test of time.

A pioneer of electronic body music, Front 242 is undoubtedly the leading electronic music group in our country. Emerging from the industrial movement, akin to the new wave of the 80s, the group has released around ten albums throughout its career, including the famous "Front by Front" in 1988. Their influence is considerable today, and they have been cited by Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy, and New Order, to name just a few.

Following the reissues of their back catalogue in new, enriched versions, and moving away from the idea that a tour absolutely must be accompanied by a new album, Front 242 continues to play around the world with the same level of intensity and the same success as in their early days, followed and acclaimed by an army of loyal fans who celebrate the band's renowned uniqueness and integrity.

Frontman of Black Strobe, author, composer, performer, producer, Arnaud Rebotini's career is monstrous. Since his first techno maxi-singles released in the mid-90s, he has become an avant-garde figure of the French electronic scene, but also of the audiovisual world since he creates the soundscapes for numerous films.

He returns in top form in 2021 with the EP "Shiny Black Lather", four tracks of pure EBM, a skillful blend of post-industrial music, synthpunk, and even occasional techno.

Curver & Wood Boy Entertainment (Namur/Charleroi)

A chaotic and elegantly messy duo, Wood Boy & Curver like to take turns doing the show, each claiming that they are going to play the best record in the world.

Liars, obviously… and rough recyclers too, churning out tracks like the complete brutes of a messy mix! Garage, electro, dub, easy listening, archaeo-rock, psychedelic trip, funk thing, Irish bourrée… nothing escapes their delirious musical knowledge and their prolific, diverse sagacity. Wood Boy & Curver are the prodigal sons of the eclectic fairy and the unknown kamikaze. And so what if the dance floor empties? The world isn't crazy enough to understand!
