Puritanical pigeonholing has never been Widard Izier's thing. Instead, the Antwerp (Belgium)-based musician and producer creates an eclectic mix of Electro, (Acid) House, New Beat, EBM, Disco, Synthpop, TripHop, Techno, and Dub. In doing so, he prefers the beauty of imperfection over the lifelessness of sterile EDM. 

Born in a country where surrealism, irony, and electronic music run deep in the DNA, it’s no surprise that these characteristics appear not only in his music but also in his visual identity. As a child of the 80s/90s, he seeks to reinvent past music styles rather than dwell in nostalgia. He uses past clichés to throw the listener off balance and surprise them with unexpected twists.

After his debut single Perversion for Profit in 2021, he returns on November 15 with his highly anticipated second single, The Climate. This dub- and '90s rave-influenced techno track not only hits the dancefloor but also gives our climate conscience a kick in the ass.
