A night where avatars turned into faces, songs into conversations, and a simple idea became real: the first INDIEpendence DAY gathering.
We began slowly, almost shyly. To Die in Beauty – Secret Lover (Allie’s Version) was the gentle conductor of the evening, giving us room to breathe. I had chosen Mitxoda – Patience right before, not by accident. As usual, I wanted everyone to land softly, to take the time to feel the weight of the moment. And yes, I was nervous: a Belgian among all these Germans, my ears torn between music and a language I only half-understood. But that tension? It was part of the magic.
Then came Gengvej – Só o sol, bursting light into the room. Suddenly the timidity cracked. We laughed, we stumbled with our luggage, we crossed that fragile line between online and real. Morino – Ray Of Sound was missed in person, but present in spirit, proof that a track can travel further than a body. Choosing those songs wasn’t random, they were bridges, opening doors to smiles we hadn’t shared yet.
After Münster
I was proud to be there, proud to host this 20th episode, proud of the songs I picked. Every choice was a risk, every track a key to unlock something fragile in the room. And it worked. For one night, borders dissolved. Languages blurred. We weren’t Belgian, German, or anything else. We were simply indie, together.
