ARTISTS & PROGRAMMING
ORCHESTRE TOUT PUISSANT MARCEL DUCHAMP
Afro / Avant-pop / Tropical / Post punk
The Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp is a project initially created for a carte blanche at Cave 12 in Geneva and is led by Vincent Bertholet. This baroque and contemporary orchestra is composed of instruments such as the guitar, marimba, trombone, violin, and double bass. In concert, they resemble voodoo musicians making music to exorcise the destructive passions of the afflicted. They masterfully employ complex and intricate rhythms, like free jazz or progressive rock musicians, and it makes you want to sculpt them in clay.
THE WRS
Garage / Psychedelic
Formed in 2018 in Charleroi, The WRS is a raw energy garage/psychedelic power trio, fueled by fuzzy guitars, a DIY aesthetic and a strong taste for sonic trances.
After a first live LP in 2020 and a second, more accomplished album in 2022 (Capicúa), the group has managed to establish its mark on the psychedelic scene, with the support of labels such as Rockerill Records, Le Cèpe Records, Gazer Tapes or even Salty Dog Records (Australia).
In October 2025, The WRS returns with a third studio album, denser and bolder. The record explores new sonic territories, blending their visceral fuzz with krautrock influences: repetitive rhythms, hypnotic soundscapes, and progressive structures enrich their palette.
With this deliberate shift, The WRS begins a new era, faithful to its psychedelic roots while venturing towards more cosmic and kraut horizons.
