TUKAN

Anyone arriving with specific stylistic e xpectations gets a lesson: this band always manages to sound different, ye t remain utterly unique. Even after their debut Atoll (2022), the press wa s full of praise, and a world tour of over 200 shows sold out in no time. The TUKAN sound was born, polished, and established. Now they are back wit h their follow-up Human Drift (2025), celebrating the joy of dance and ecs tasy, synergy and energy according to every trick in the book. Fasten your seatbelts.

Aili & Orson
Aili & Orson is a Bel gian-Japanese electro-pop duo consisting of Aili Maruyama and Orson Wouter s. Forged in the Belgian alternative club scene and rooted in the nuances of Japanese culture, the duo seamlessly bridges two distinct worlds. The r esult is a minimalist and colorful sonic universe where language barriers dissolve into pure, infectious energy. Now, they are ready to unveil their next chapter with their second album, set for release in early 2027.
Formed after a chance meeting in 2019, their instant musical chemistry led to a playful and spontaneous approach to songwriting, blending electronic beats, samples, and Aili's unique Japanese vocals. Their first release, 2 021’s Dansu EP, received widespread acclaim, spending 8 weeks at the top of Radio 1's VOX list in Belgium. This initial success quickly rip pled across borders, catching the attention of Tokyo's creative label TOKA , who partnered with the duo to release a special Japanese edition of the debut EP Dansu.
Their first full-length album, Nandakke?< /em> (Eskimo Recordings), pushed them onto the global stage. The record we nt straight to #1 on KCRW’s Top 30 Album Chart in the US, picked up heavy daytime rotation on KEXP, BBC Radio 6 Music, and Nova France, and racked u p loads of streams across tastemaker playlists like Metropolis and Pollen.
Live, Aili & Orson are a structured, high-energy storm. Beyond th eir own sold-out headline dates across Europe and Japan, they spent late 2 024 supporting L'Impératrice on tour, packing out iconic rooms like L’Olym pia in Paris, Melkweg in Amsterdam, and the Roundhouse in London.
With their signature cross-cultural playfulness and boundless energy, the duo continues to define a sonic universe entirely of their own.
