INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/nosedrip

Ostend-based producer Nosedrip, real name Ziggy Devriendt, is one of the most interesting figures to have risen out of Belgium in recent times. Established back in 2013, his radio show stroom.tv has harnessed a loyal following spurred by Ziggy's talent in mixing the most diverse records and switching from new wave through punk onto modern classical that you've probably never heard of.

The multifaceted tastes of Nosedrip fully fan out in his contribution to our mix series, bringing the listeners in an ever-changing journey across dreamy new age cuts, experimental rock-y tonalities, captivating electronic beats before slowly shifting to explore further drum-laden dubby rhythms. We caught up for a quick-fire chat with the artist as he opens up on the width of the Belgian scene and gets us to discover the story behind his unique approach to music.
