le motel
BRUXELLES | DJ SET
With his hats on as a graphic designer, soundtrack composer and those that interest us more here, as a DJ and producer, Belgian Le Motel offers a hyper-rich visual and musical universe, where organic elements (field recordings, ethnic samples) slip over synthetic layers and bass music rhythms. Noticed in 2015 by Gilles Peterson, who named him Album Of The Week on his BBC 6 show, Le Motel set up his own Maloca Records label in 2020, on which he shares his favorites and his own EPs featuring MCs and vocalists (including Clara!, Magugu, Flowdan…).
In 2023, he demonstrates his downright prolific talent with a series of releases that hit the nail on the head!
“Kindness Weakness”, a collaborative EP with Magugu, a UK-based Nigerian MC with an incredible flow!
“Maar” a superb ambient album with guitarist Bruce Wijn
“Baltimore” an album produced in scred with Fuzati!
“Wild guide”, a thundering track featuring English MC Flowdan unveiled on the latest Fabric compilation (June 2023).
“Kenrel Panic”, his own EP to be released on the Yuku label (June 2023).
In 2023, he will adapt his album “Maar” into a live ambient and visual version with guitarist Bruce Wijn and VJ Antoine De Schuyter.

He also unveils the exciting stage aspect of his collaboration with Magugu, the ebullient MC “from Lagos & London”.
To be discovered on December 7, 2023 at the Transmusicales de Rennes!
