Selah Sue, is an amazingly talented Belgian musician and songwriter with a voice which pierces right through our hearts. In January 2011 she won the award for “Best female solo artist” at the Music Industry awards 2010. Her first album is a fascinating melting pot between electric rock, organic hip-hop and soul-funk. The song “Raggamuffin”, which can be viewed in the above video, is her first single. “This track symbolizes me” she explains. “It shows my soulful and singing side, but also my hard side, between rap and ragga.

Earlier this year the Vermin Twins (Micha Volders and Lotte Vanhamel) released their intriguing and innovative debute album “Exoskeleton” which was a cocktail of freestyle experimental pop, dance and electronica with an avantgarde edge. Now they have released a video for the title track of this album.

This is what they said themselves, on their Facebook page, about this new video:

“Vermin Twins made a new video for “exoskeleton” just for fun! No budget, no crew, no hifi equipment but a handheld digital camera and a lot of work!”

We think the video is a fascinating and strong piece of work and it shows that their talent also applies in the visual presentation of their music. Creating this level of work with minimal resources is something you don’t see a lot these days. With virtual no budget, Lotte and Micha manage to create the full package in this video: music, sound, dance and visuals melt into a strong and exciting performance.

In the above video the Los Angeles based noise conductor Nosaj Thing performs an improvised Dj Set live on Kexp. It is very inspiring to see the master musical modulator create his electronic soundscapes and wild beat tectonics in the studio of Kexp radio. We like this very much.

The Vermin Twins are a very intriguing and innovative Belgian duo made up out of Micha Volders and Lotte Vanhamel. The music they make is a cocktail of freestyle experimental pop, dance and electronica with an avantgarde edge.

The description on their website about them says: ‘Vermin Twins like melody and rhythm, jumping insects and funky mysteries. Vermin Twins like to sing and dance, scream and jump or slap the bass with a big fat thumb.’

And for sure they make this description come true with their fascinating act of electronic musical “dancescapes”.

Listen below to the track called “Suffocate” from their debute album “Exoskeleton” which was released on the 25Th of March, 2010.
