Always an honour to be amongst Ian Anderson’s selection of the finest! As he puts it: “The world may be in a tangle but inspiring music keeps arriving. Top up your winter music allowance with the October Podwireless - Local Music From Out There, packed with particularly fine selection of new stuff from the wonderful world of folk, roots music and associated weirdos. No filler, all cherries!”

"Take Gogol Bordello, add some funky second line brass orchestration from NOLA, then overfill with ska music, and you’ve got Jaune Toujours. Hailing from Belgium, this music collective masterfully blends ska with jazz, jam band, punk, Balkan folk music, and big brass marching band. The danceable energy will keep your head bopping for the entire album."

Thank You Dane Jackson and Ska, Punk, and Other Junk !

Het was lang wachten, maar het Brusselse wereldensemble Jaune Toujours is terug met hun zevende studioalbum, en het is het absoluut waard! Al bijna 30 jaar verlichten ze elk feest waar ik DJ ben met hun unieke, onweerstaanbare sound. Dit is een doorgewinterde band die unapologetically zijn eigen ding doet, commerciële trends negeert en tegelijkertijd diep sociaal geëngageerd blijft. Ze pakken grote problemen aan zoals oorlogen, vluchtelingencrises, klimaatverandering en autoritaire politiek en verweven deze thema's in hun muziek met gedurfde creativiteit en zonder grenzen. Hun geluid is net zo meertalig als Brussel zelf, gedreven door groove, koperblazers en accordeon - wat zij “kick-ass roots in zijn meest energieke vorm” noemen!

"It’s been a long wait, but Brussels’ world ensemble Jaune Toujours is back with their seventh studio album, and it’s absolutely worth it! For nearly 30 years, they’ve been lighting up every party I DJ with their unique, irresistible sound. This is a seasoned band that unapologetically does its own thing, ignoring commercial trends while staying deeply socially engaged.  They tackle big issues like wars, refugee crises, climate change, and authoritarian politics, weaving these themes into their music with bold creativity and no boundaries. Their sound is as multilingual as Brussels itself, driven by groove, brass, and accordion—what they call "kick-ass roots in its most energetic form!"

"After a six-year recording pause occupied by related projects of the collective created by Maris and his film-maker partner Sarah Baur, Choux de Bruxelles (‘Brussels sprout’), and the difficulties of the Covid pandemic, Vertigo is a musical pinnacle, the arrangements, playing and production more full and powerful than ever."

Vertigo has just received a glowing review from RootsWorld, the renowned world and roots-folk music magazine and radio station based in New Haven, USA! Not only that, we’re honored to be their Music of the Month in October !

“Met Vertigo maakt het Brusselse Jaune Toujours na zowat zes jaar nog eens een stand van zaken op van de maatschappij waarin we leven (...) Een mens zou er van beginnen duizelen en dus leek Vertigo ("draaiduizeligheid") absoluut de gepaste titel om de tijdsgeest te vatten.”

"With Vertigo, after some six years, Brussels-based Jaune Toujours once again evaluates the society we live in (...) It makes you dizzy and so Vertigo seemed an appropriate title to capture the spirit of the times."
