Welcome to the Mitxoda Vibe. Pull up a chair, kick off your shoes, and stay a while 🌿✨
Hey there, wanderer of sound! I’m Mitxoda, lifelong music-maker, tireless record-hunter, and host of Le Salon Indie, the radio refuge that turns every Friday, 4 PM in Brussels into a soft-lit listening party. In French.
This blog is the show’s comfy backstage sofa: a place where playlists sprawl, stories mingle, and the kettle is always on. If the broadcast is the gig, think of this space as the after-show hang where we swap vinyl tips, trade demos, and laugh about the drum fill that almost derailed the first live session (true story, promise).
What you’ll find here
- Fresh finds & deep cuts – the tracks that made me grin like a kid in a candy shop before I even hit “play” on air.
- Speaker-corner musings – thoughts on DIY culture, bedroom-pop philosophy, and why distortion pedals should be prescribed by doctors.
- Label spotlights & artist love letters – a short read now, a full “Label Deep Dive” on the first Friday of every month.
- Behind-the-mic moments – photos, voice notes, and the occasional coffee-stained set list straight from Studio B.
The mood we’re chasing
Picture a low-slung couch, fairy lights looping overhead, and a stack of well-thumbed fanzines on the table. Conversations drift from French yé-yé psychedelia to Japanese city-pop, then veer suddenly toward the best way to mic a toy piano. Nobody judges, everybody shares, and time kindly slows to the tempo of a Shuggie Otis groove. That’s the energy I pour into every broadcast, and it’s exactly what will soak these pages.
Join the circle
Drop your comments, pitch your band, or simply wave hello. Send those lovingly tagged 320 kbps mp3’s on submit.mitxoda.be. I listen every tracks.
Please pay attention and complete the form with a maximum of details. And if you need help encoding your MP3, you will have to learn a bit, because, I won’t be able to adapt them all! Make sure, for each mp3, you correctly add the track title, artist title, album title, cover image, and other necessary information (ISCR, website, etc)
Need the weekly nudge? Bookmark Fridays, 16:00 Brussels Time, cue up OTAT247 Radio, and let’s end the week (or start it, if you’re Pacific-side) on a high, indie note.
Ready? Breathe in, press play, and feel the room settle into that sweet, trust-soaked hush. Welcome to the family.
