Anton Walgrave "Show Me"
after a few gigs in Belgium with Arif Durvesh & Kevin Armstrong, he's back in the picture with his impressive solo-debut "The Hum".
New songs you could pick to enter the top:

- Starflam "La Sonora" Finally, the long-awaited album "Survivant" by this powerful hiphop-band has hit the shops. The first single is the poppy "La Sonora".
- Yum "Fake" Fake is the new single to come out of the debut album of Yum (Reinert D'Haene (Ashbury Faith) & dutch singer Lennard Busé) "Monokid", out on Sony.
- Laïs "Dorothea" , the title-track of the 2nd album was released a single - available in a few versions as well on the limited release of Dorothea. Laïs fans: check out the line-up for Werchter, or Marktrock, or Dranouter, or Boterhammen... Help! They are everywhere...
- COEM "How I Remember", Coem is short for Coin-Operated Entertainment Machine, and is Belgian guitar-band on a german label. 2nd album is called "Bandwi(d)thconsidertions"
- Darling Nikkie "Sugar Cane" Darling Nikkie is the current pseudo for Nikkie Van Lierop (Lords of Acid, Praga Khan, Jade 4U, ...) and "Sugar Cane" is the thing she's sucking on these days.
- Lords of Acid "Scrood Bi U" Said Nikkie is no longer the singer of LOA, replaced by Deborah Ostrega. Penthouse got quite lyrical over her "nicely manicured Belgian Beaver" (see article), and the lyrics to their songs ("I wanna be screwed by you, but anyone else will do, I wanna be screwed by you and you and you").
- Vive La Fête "Tokyo" Vive La Fête is getting close to releasing a 2nd album (in June) and has now released a vinyl-only single. Don't let this audio-excerpt fool you into thinking there's nothing more to it than saying "Tokyo" over a synth-beat. They switch to saying "Milano" a bit later on!
- The Dill Brothers "Right Time" The Dill Brothers are trying to maintain their reputation as one of the most exciting ska-bands from these parts with the album "Remedy" and have released this single to promote that idea.
- Moiano "Keep My heart with it" Peter Lesage & Friends get hyperfunky again with a 2nd EP of the project Moiano.
- Paranoiacs "In My Eye" Although the album "7 day weekend" is already almost 2 years old, the Paranoiacs are now releasing the opening track of it as a single, with video.
