The Belgian duo is a hit with their debut album, “Topical Dancer”, a mix of post-punk and electro-pop where motherhood, racism and early sexualization are discussed. To be seen in concert on April 21 at the Printemps de Bourges and on April 25 at the Trabendo, in Paris.
In Ghent, Belgium, a monolith of black granite houses the headquarters of the Deewee label. Since 2013, brothers David and Stephen Dewaele, known for rocking dancefloors around the world with their Soulwax and 2 Many DJ’s projects, have been producing their albums and those of their proteges here. “It’s an incredible building that looks like them, as if it were their Frankenstein”, says Charlotte Adigéry who has just been released, on Deewee, Topical Dancer, the first album of the duo she formed with Bolis Pupul. In the introduction, we hear him present himself on the intercom of the monolith: “Hello…Charlotte! Hello…Charlotte! Adigeryyy! »
The Dewaele brothers introduced Bolis Pupul to Charlotte Adigéry in 2015 during the recording of the film’s soundtrack Belgium. The producer asked the singer regarding her musical inclinations and she played a track from The Slits, the all-girl post-punk band of the late 1970s Love at first sight. He, whose real name is Boris Zeebroek, born to a Chinese mother and a Flemish father known to comic book lovers under his pseudonym Kamagurka, fell in love with Beck when he saw him in concert at 13 years old. She, of Caribbean parents, grew up in Ghent listening to Amy Winehouse, Al Green and Erykah Badu, then the rap of Common and J Dilla. Jumbled up, they also cite the influences of Talking Heads, R’n’B, Kylie Minogue or Daft Punk… all of which contribute to the electro-pop proliferation of Topical Dancer.
