Brazzmatazz - Live At JGG Studio (December 11, 2021 Den Hoed Music Records)

Brazzmatazz returns with “Live At JGG Studio”; a selection of brassband bangers from a recent live session containing five brand new songs and two classics.

Join them on this half hour taster of their energetic, steampunk-drenched live shows, with styles ranging from drum ‘n bass over funk to a trip to the Balkans, and even a pirate song!

With new contributions from three of their saxophone players and a lone trumpeter, this truly was a group effort in writing as much as it was in recording.

Expertly recorded live in Johnny Green Giant Studio and mixed and mastered by our very own sound tech Jonas Nyaarr (GoTo11).

This album will be a free online release including live footage, filmed and edited live by Dante Vanquaethem (Genuine Sound).

It will be released under Den Hoed Music Records on 11th of December 2021, to be celebrated alongside the band’s 7 year “Grand Jubilee”, held the same day at Bar Bricolage, Ghent.

Brazzmatazz - Turbolence (February 23rd, DHM Records 2018)

Warning: this CD might cause slightly more turbulence than your local fanfare

After a well received first EP “HUA!”, Brazzmatazz now releases its debut album. “Turbolence” grew into a twelve-sided brassband beast that gnarls, barks and bites, but manages to build tensions back up at the right time. With this album the band wants to show their versatility while retaining their signature sound, urging the orchestra to more unconventional noises. In a tongue-in-cheek way, they mash up traditions with more modern influences, electronic and other.

These previous years Brazzmatazz had the honour of playing Belgium's finest stages in the club- and festival circuit, gaining them a reputation as an ecclectic and thrilling live band . In 2016 their hometown of Ghent awarded them as “Best Street Act” in the renowned Ghent Festival.

2018 also brings them a new and improved show, with brand new costumes and stage props in their characteristic steampunk style.

This CD will be released February 23rd at club Charlatan, Ghent, more information can be found through our website or social media profiles.
