Next show: Brussels, Thu 17 Dec
An underground ambient artist.
Between touring throughout Europe and the USA with renowned artists like Tamino, Beirut and Meskerem Mees, recording for tastemakers including Elias Rønnenfelt, Grian Chatten or Loverman and co-writing for Tamino and Sailorr, Belgian cellist-producer Frederik Daelemans has been quietly crafting his most personal and honest music to date. Drawing on the cello’s dynamism and rich sonic character, Frederik uses his signature picking technique, running the instrument through effect pedals as his airy voice drifts on top. His music is intimate and powerful, balancing warmth and fragility, echoing the experimental spirit of Arthur Russell’s 1980s cello recordings. Replica, Daelemans’ debut EP is a five-song reflection on time passing, parental relations, love and finding ease coloured by experiences living in big cities like London and Paris and will be released in the fall of 2026.
