Icarus is a radio show and a podcast, broadcasted every Sunday night between 21-22h at 105.3 Urgent Fm (Ghent), and at midnight on Tuesday night at 106.9 YouFM (Mons), two Belgian radio stations.
It wants to be the home of all music that doesn't fit between defined borders. Musical styles like new classical, ambient, blues, jazz, minimal, balearic, psychedelica, krautrock will find their way to you through this show.
We feature in our show bands you may never have heard of, strange kaleidoscope noise, or heart warming blues and jazz from the past. You may experience a dark musical trip through our galaxy, floating on clouds and melting by the sun between heaven and hell. Icarus wants to give you an eargasm, no more, no less.
Icarus is compiled & mixed by Jeroen De Wandel, presentation by Pieter Van Nieuwnehove, interviews by Marie Vandekerckhove.
