“Quite possibly my records of the month: Louis Guilliaume, Soulpoint I and Soulpoint II, from Syncom Data’s SD Records. More here and here, from Boomkat. Straight outta Rotterdam, apparently, with echoes of Dettinger, Robert Hood, the Field, Pepe Bradock, RA-X, and lord knows what else, but totally its own thing. I passed up the chance to buy the vinyls at Hardwax last week and am kicking myself now; good thing for Zero-Inch.” Says dance critic Philip Sherburne at his blog.
Louis Guilliaume plays at ZXZW.

We’re giving away 5 Hooghwater cd’s. Hooghwater picks up the pieces Restless Youth left behind with their swansong album. With musicians coming from the hardcore punk scene, the approach of psychedelic seventies rock is full of energy and without pretentions. Hooghwater won’t wipe out The Wipers, but they will surely give it a go. Of course they will play at ZXZW. You can win a cd if you tell us in which band members of Hooghwater did not play: Transmission 0, The Spades, The Hydromatics, Otis or Restless Youth. Send your answer to contest At zxzw Dot nl
