BOOGIE BELGIQUE - JOHN PARM

BOOGIE BELGIQUE

Boogie Belgique was founded in 2012 as a home studio project, but the bands fanbase grew steadily through word of mouth and established the project in the booming European downtempo scene. Boogie Belgique’s sound is a blend of electronic music and jazz, with hints of Bonobo, Wax Tailor and Gramatik. Varying anywhere between relaxing, intimate moods and energizing, danceable grooves, Boogie Belgique’s sound is characterized by melancholy, nostalgia and a human touch.

Brussels based DJ and Producer influenced by his breakdancing background and by groovy music in general, John Parm's productions are tinged with Westcoast Hip-Hop, Boogie Funk, Modern Funk and sometimes with an house touch. After gaining experience under the name of Turtle Master for more than fifteen years with his collective Crab Boogie and as a DJ and beatmaker for the young french speaking rap scene (Caballero, Jeanjass, Lomepal…), he’s now focusing on his solo project defending the timelessness of the funk and its presence in the current music landscape. From 2019, John Parm hosts radio shows on Bruzz and Kiosk Radio, while managing the Brussels chapter of the international beatmaking event Loop Sessions.
