Since 1996, Dirk Swartenbroekx (Belgium) is making funky records under the name of Buscemi, one of his favorite actors. His style is deep. Difficult to categorise: nu bossa, nu lounge, house music, brazilian grooves, afrobeat, drum 'n bass... Dancemusic with a latin feel is maybe the best description of the sound of Buscemi.
At Westanglia he will spin the decks at the Highlight of Westanglia, really in the middle of the existence of the Free State. Prepare for the heat this fantastic dj will bring to the floor!

Music 3
Madam Lena Deluxe from Lille is a rising star in the French music scene. She makes a weird kind of edgy pop music/folk with echoes of the Velvet Underground, Coco Rosie, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Shannon Wright,.... Trust us, you have to check this it out.

Sleepy?
The most fun of course is staying awake through the whole 24 hours of Westanglia. But if you need some shut-eye, then we have the solution.
The kind people of Messines Peace Village are helping us out! You can camp for free on their site or you can stay in the hostel. If you want to book a room, don't wait to long, because the capacity is limited. You can find the contacts through the link above.
The Peace Village will also have another central place in the Free State, but more about that later...

OOOPS the sequel
Euh, we forgot to mention something very essential...
The Free State is really free. So no piggy bank has to be brutally slaughtered to get into the fun, cause no entrance fee.
Now you really don't have a reason not to be a native Westanglian in a couple of months!

OOOPS
We already written 2 pieces, but forgot some basic and important info: who are these guys who do this thingy?
Well, we're Covy&Vanhaelst. Besides the 2 founding members (Covy & Vanhaelst, dûh)there are 2 other brothers involved in this madhouse called Westanglia. What we did in the past, you can read here
We are no rich kids and this whole event couldn't be possible without the support of these kind people:
CO7, regional cultural platform (Heuvelland,Ieper,Langemark-Poelkapelle,Mesen, Poperinge, Vleteren en Zonnebeke)
Jeugdoverleg Westhoek, platform for youth in the Westhoek supported by the Province of West-Flanders and European Community)
Mesen, the town we're taking over for 24 hours

You wanna know who's doing his thing at Westanglia? Who's playing the music, the turntables etc. Who's doing "an attack" on all your senses with his/her art? What movies will be screened? So the whole program, quoi?
Well, we don't want to give it all away in one time, so every week we release a few names. First name who's going to rawk the Westanglia concerthall is Pornorama on Saturday (or what we call in "Westanglian": the dawn and rise)
Pornorama is Sebastian Omerson (voc, guit), Jurgen Dewaele (voc, bass), David Bratzlavsky (guit) and Maarten Keteleer (drums). Prepare for mighty rockers, loony tunes, goofy shuffles and four to the floors.
