Rheinzand is a collaborative project between creative masterminds Reinhard Vanbergen from Das Pop, Mo Disko from the renowned DJ duo The Glimmers and Charlotte Caluwaerts from Tundra. Reinhard Vanbergen is a household name in Belgium's music scene as a producer, multi-instrumentalist as well as a mixer and arranger. Mo Disko +30 years DJ career and outstanding nose for quality trakcs flourished into compilations as 'The Glimmers' for R&S Records, Eskimo Recordings, DJ Kicks, Fabric and Blue Note Records. Charlotte Caluwaerts luscious and versatile vocals have already pleasured the ears of many. She is also a frequently asked songwriter for artists in Belgium and abroad.
Aside from their thriving careers as producer, DJ and songwriter, they have formed this new group out of their shared love for long, psychedelic tracks that still are songs. Their tracks are a mixture of dance music’s rich history giving nods to old & new, forgotten & popular scenes & genres in order to create their own take on today.
Rheinzand's first EP 'The Way You Do' was released on Ivan Smagghe's and Leon Oakey's London based underground label Les Disques De La Mort. Main track of the EP 'The Way You Do' rotated on Belgium's Radio 1 playlist for over 20 weeks.
Their exotic style caught the ears of Danish label ‘Music For Dreams’ on which they will release their debut album. 'Blind' is the first single of this musical adventure and is aimed straight for the dancefloor. The track is being played by Dj Harvey during his summer residency at Pikes Ibiza and created a strong online buzz.
The band played many Festivals the last year and created a strong following. Live on stage they are accompanied by the likes of Stéphane Misseghers (dEUS) on drums and Bruno Coussée (MannGold) on bass.
