In the cobbled streets of Antwerp, where shadows play and the wind whistles through ancient walls, Milan W. (aka Milan Warmoeskerken) has become a cornerstone of the Flemish experimental scene.  Whether as a member of semi-cult bands like Flying Horseman and Condor Gruppe, as an electronic composer on the late Ekster and JJ Funhouse labels, making synthpop with Mittland och Leo, and wading through playful Schlager with Gerard Herman.

Under the Milan W. moniker, he crafts music that is intimate yet expansive. Traditionally electronic-oriented, his latest work meanders through guitars, saxophones, and heartbroken crooning. Milan W.  is a testament to an artist who ceaselessly ventures beyond the horizon, pushing musical boundaries with a wink, a nod, and the quiet laughter of the uncharted.

 

Support act: Loki Project

Loki Project is the artistic persona of independent musician and visual artist Lieke Dijkstra. Known for her expressive voice and genre-defying sound, her music weaves together influences from soul, indie hip-hop and pop. 

The singer and songwriter left home at 17 to pursue her calling as a musician and visual artist. Her first debut, Game of Life (2025), as released under the wings of Mink Records, in collaboration with producers Gino Bombrini and Gino Cochise. The release got celebrated in a sold out Vondelkerk in Amsterdam and earned support from radio stations such as BBC (Gilles Peterson), NTS (Coco Maria), NPO Soul & Jazz, 3voor12 and Stepping into Tomorrow. 

Loki’s sound is characterized by a certain minimalism, within which an explosiveness unfolds, which often brings across a paradox: there is lightness yet also something more dark is to be found. Her performance is a fusion of storytelling, sound and visual art, sometimes incorporating handcrafted ceramic masks and paper kites. 

In 2024 she evolved from a solo endeavor into a full-band collaboration, teaming up with artists like Gino Bombrini (Collignon, Skip&Die, YINYIN) and Gino Cochise (Pink Oculus, Badjekkah). This creative expansion has set the stage for her upcoming live shows.
