L’augmentation,is the life story of those who make Hip-Hop in Belgium.
From the old to the new generation, this podcast paints a picture of the actors of Belgian rap through anecdotes and key moments in their lives…
For this first episode, Louis welcomes Sonny Mariano, one of the founders of Melodiggerz, who works to preserve Belgian Hip-Hop culture. Passionate about rap, he has been collecting Belgian Hip-Hop records, organising concerts and managing the artist Melfiano for more than 10 years.
On 4 March 2023, Melodiggerz had the honour of hosting Apollo Brown (Detroit) and Stu Bangas (Boston) for a sold-out event as part of their European tour. These beatmaking giants delighted a Motown audience from all over Belgium, France and Germany. They were joined by Dutch beatmaker Philanthrope and our Belgian artists Defi J and DJ Dysfunkshunal.
L’uZine will be performing in Belgium for the first time just after the release of their new album “La 26ème lettre” on 19 May 2023. Melodiggerz is a partner in this eagerly-awaited event at La Ferme du Biéreau.
As part of the 5th edition of Winter Pop, organised by Brussels Major Event for the City of Brussels, we had the pleasure of programming the artist Aminah on 11 December 2022 at Ambiorix Square for a pure Hip-Hop/Soul/Funk moment.
She released her first album Changing Mood under the label Phatmarkt Collective.
The #5 issue of the magazine was also available with a focus on archiving Belgian Hip-Hop and Melodiggerz – interspersed with articles/interviews on Benny The Butcher, Kendrick Lamar, Médine, Driver, Isha, Kalash, Nicholas Craven, etc.
