GOOSE - dj set [ BE ]

This week we receive a dj set from Michael Karkousse, the lead singer of The Iconic alternative / electronic band GOOSE. They are back with a new album, and also is back with their Dj sets.

Their Dj sets are as famous as their concerts has a band, with Dj sets around Europe in the best venues, recently they dj set in Dubai among others. Last summer,, they headlined over Pendulum and James Blake at the Pukkelpop festival.

GOOSE are a Belgian electro rock band, formed two decades ago, but they still sound as fresh as ever. A group whose incredible achievements place them at the forefront of the crossover between electronic music and rock, the Belgian four-piece have found renewal by returning home and focussing on the bonds that keep them in place.

Having released hugely successful material on iconic labels such as Skint Records and the deeply influential !k7 they’ve opted to embrace their freedom and take the independent route via their own Safari Records imprint.

With various international tours , more than 15 years on from their debut album ‘Bring It On’ they’re a band renewed. Looking ahead to their next plans, Mickael Karkousse simply laughs: “We’re just getting started!”

Doxa [PT]

DOXA, the musical identity of Filipe Gouveia, has been immersed in the world of music since childhood. From an early age, music wasn’t just a passion it became his way of life. His distinctive style blends eclectic influences, resulting in sets that are both surprising and deeply engaging.

His formal journey in music took him to Point Blank Ibiza, where he refined his craft and deepened his understanding of music production and performance. But DOXA’s story extends far beyond the classroom his name became known through a wide range of performances across different stages and events, both in Madeira and mainland Portugal.

As a producer, DOXA has been steadily building a catalog that reflects his creative vision and his evolving artistic voice. His first four independent releases — "Nightz", "D.O.R.A.", "Blazing", and "Mare" — captured attention for their originality, and his latest releases, "Unwrapped" (released by Mustache Crew in Brazil) and "Coded" (released by Disrupted Music in Italy).
