Je m'en fish

Belgian volunteer organization and promotional music label Raumschmiere, Jamie XX, Congo Natty, Panda Dub. Stay tuned. Oh, and as usual, musically, no boundaries.

Founded in 2005, Je m'en fish started out, and was founded for, doing a number of experimental 'open contests' and 'open stages' solely for musicians doing any and all kinds of electronic music, or using likewise apparel, in Belgium. Partnering with the likes of Poppunt and attracting a number of people in the jury such as Dirk Da Davo (The Neon Judgement), Kurt Overberg (Ancienne Belgique), a var

iety of people from radios like Studio Brussel etc., these ran for approximately 2 years, next to a number of other 'open stages', collaborations, and more. By that time, Je m'en fish won the 'Gouden Ketjes Voor Cultuur, Jeugd en Sport' of the Flemish community for Brussels (Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie) for a cheque of 5000 euro in a packed Ancienne Belgique from the hands of Pascal Smet (a minister here eh) and with it, it had shifted to doing a number of promotional compilation cd's and a DVD for a set number of artists. With more and more coproduction demands from some of the larger Belgian players (Bozar, Recyclart, VK* Concerts, Gentse Feesten, ...), Je m'en fish also aimed at bringing young, promising artists to Belgium and thus were the first to bring artists that by now are household names to Belgium such as James Blake or Mount Kimbie, while events to promote Belgian artists also followed including Paard Van Troje in Den Haag several times, Outlook Festival in Croatia a number of times, as well as a tour of Slovenia, Italy and more. A grasp of more main/headlining artists at coproductions or events at that time were among others 65daysofstatic, The Neon Judgement, Flux Pavilion, Mount Kimbie, James Blake, Modeselektor, T. At our own events, there was regularly a thematic evening around one label or organisation, such as Hotflush, Ninja Tune, Soul Motion nights, and more. Under the guise of 'Taking Back Mondays', we also took residence approx. once each month at Kultuurkaffee ('Pilar', these days) on the VUB campus, and brought together household names in d'n'b, dubstep, electro and more with young local beginning artists - Names like Legowelt, Scuba, Total Science & Murdock (For a live rendition for Studio Brussel radio), Chris Su, etc. An impromptu conclusion was aimed at and happened in 2017 with the event 'Doorstroom'. Working with 2 event locations located under a railway, Recyclart for Brussels and Ampere for Antwerp, and partnering up with our national railway company NMBS for a train between both, we brought artists over like Jazzanova, Ninja Tune's DJ Food and DJ Vadim feat. MC Inja and Lapalux, after which the association became dormant for a number of years (Hey, we're old :) )

Considering the ongoing crisis and reading more and more outcries of artists we have been working with or linked with before with concerning financial stability, no events, so no coverage etc., we decided to become active again and launch a number of new releases with a large selection of artists, starting out with artists that were either associated with us or we had at our events, and currently in 2021 testing the waters and looking for others. We currently had several audio tape releases (because hey, retro) and started with vinyl releases again by the latter half of 2021, as the last one was dating back to 2012. The main goal is to promote the featured artists, as well as support the few record shops we have left that sell them with a large portion of sales going to them as well. If it's electronic, accoustic, goth, d'n'b, if we like it, we'll push it.

A bit longer than a month for the official release date of 01 September for The Dreamside - Dreams Beyond The Veil with a bunch of copies under reservation and going out during the next weeks somewhere.
As a bonus for the early orders, we'll be inserting 5 copies randomly of our earlier 'Anthologies 4' compilation, which also featured The Dreamside with the track 'This Quest' (Along with Dirk Da Davo, The Neon Judgement, Flesh & Fell, ...).

Our Anthologies 2 compilation tape is hereby also sold out (Anthologies 1 already was a while) so no more compilations on cassette tape at the moment. Incidentally, so are more than half of the black & white sandwich option of BeNe GeSSeRiT 'Live in Belgium and Holland 1983'

The Dreamside - Dreams Beyond The Veil coloured 180 gram 12'' has been added to our bandcamp in presale. Release date is set 1st of September to avoid summer holiday shipment unavailabilities, but items can go out sooner in August if wished, drop us a line then. Videos in the description on bandcamp.

0 track album

21/06/2024

Our next 12'' is in, per usual on coloured 180g vinyl (2 options available limited at 100 copies each), courtesy of The Dreamside.

Due to all delay, we will aim at an official release date of 1 September, but put up presale in a bit. Presale can always go out earlier per usual, if not on holiday in August feel free to give us a nudge. The release will be available at 13 euro on our bandcamp.

Insane Music - Alain Neffe's BeNe GeSSeRiT new CD 'Insanely Live' out this 5th of June. A bit more than half left after presale, available on bandcamp. International fans can also use the barcode and ask for it at a local shop through distribution, usually cheaper than us sending them out. Otherwise available at 9 euro on our bandcamp for the physical CD.

Testpressing was approved, so we finally got the ball rolling on the finalised 12'' of The Dreamside ; Assumably, presale will go up in one of the following X weeks, with actual release date TBC (As smack dab middle of the summer would probably be a tricky one).

Will be available in 100 copies each of 2 colour options on 180g vinyl at 13 euro.

"Beyond The Veil" is a limited edition, 180g colored vinyl album, brought to life through a collaboration between Je m'en Fish and The Dreamside. The album i...

Finally got delivery of some new parcel boxes, so will be sending out BeNe GeSSeRiT items ASAP with release date for the tape on May 15th, also depending if post office/dropoff spots for UPS etc. aren't on a long weekend after holiday. Otherwise next batch coming days

06/05/2024

Will be slowly starting to send out preorders made for both BeNe GeSSeRiT releases, were currently waiting on a new arrival of specific boxes for 1 CD or CD + tape but seems delayed, so we'll be doing a few parcels with all boxes we have available atm.

17/04/2024

We have liftoff for the following 2 releases:

-BeNe GeSSeRiT 'Live in Belgium and Holland', essentially a rerelease of the album of the same title released in 1983 and, as originally, released on cassette, and available in 4 different colour options. https://jemenfish.bandcamp.com/album/bene-gesserit-live-in-belgium-and-holland-1983

BeNe GeSSeRiT is the brainchild of legendary Insane Music - Alain Neffe (B. Ghola) and Nadine Bal (Benedict G.), if unfamiliar with the project, all tracks can be listened to, they were also recently featured in The Guardian in light of the new Dune movie: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/mar/05/the-bene-gesserit-can-kill-with-their-voices-thats-what-i-try-to-do-the-musicians-mining-dune-for-tunes

New tape release and CD release hereby into production. The Dreamside 12'' delayed due to testpressing issues and waiting for a recut. Following 12'' going into production this week.

For medical reasons, unavailable from the 12th of April until at least 18th of April. No packages through bandcamp etc. will be sent out

18/03/2024

...Soon(ish)...

08/03/2024

For some technical reasons we may have some delay for the upcoming album of The Dreamside (One of the reasons not putting dates up until all is greenlit). Working on other productions in the meantime

05/03/2024

One of the projects we are working on for a new release (of old re/unreleased material) is BeNe GeSSeRiT. They're featured today here in The Guardian

Iron Maiden, Fatboy Slim and Grimes have all made music inspired by Frank Herbert’s 1960s sci-fi epic. So what makes ‘Dunecore’ different to other interpretive genres?

01/03/2024

Progressing on work for a new 12'' featuring Pseudo Code, reworking some 40+ years old material.

Testpressing run with Mirland

More testpressing ideas With The Dreamside

Mirland audio snippet

Doctor Vinyl Brussels

People in or around Brussels can find the new This Vale Of Tears 12'' as per usual for our releases at Doctor Vinyl, Groot Eiland 1, 1000 Brussels. Please don't mind the DJs this time of the year, the heat is having it's effect :) (All colours of the release available and at the regular 12 euro)

Finally able to work a bit on an 'Anthologies 3' compilation. Instead of cassette tape, we would be looking at a 12'' (coloured) vinyl record. Artists would be The Neon Judgement , Dirk Da Davo, Psy'Aviah , Implant, This Vale Of Tears , Your life on hold , NU:N (Portugal) and Mirland (Danmark). Between Sabam, artwork, testpressings and actual pressing this will already be aimed at later half/end of 2022. It also would seem some plants are starting to have issues with the needed resources for all demand, with the current state of the world, so we'll be depending on that as well. Fingers crossed.

Neon Electronics 'Under the worst condition' 2021 remaster

Small bit of the upcomin' Neon Electronics / The Neon Judgement 2021 remaster we got the testpressing for. Technically the last 2021 release but doesn't look like it'll get here before 2022 :)
