Plančte Indie is open to every style of music. The one and only condition to fulfill to be played is to be 'indie', which means for me 'not being distributed worldwide by a major'.
These productions have enough opportunities to be heard elsewhere.

Plančte Indie, it's one hour and a half of musical discoveries, it's an open door to the waves for artists who have very rarely (if not ever) the opportunity to be played on the air on commercial fm stations. During these 90 minutes, we travel through music styles, kinds, countries, labels, ... It is very varied : rock stands next to ambient, pop, world music, ...
During the show, one particular album is put under the spotlights. It is the "artist of the month". Three tracks out of it are played on the air, and the artist/band deserves a closer presentation of his work, ...

At the times when the show was produced on a weekly basis, a contest was organised among all the "albums of the week". The listeners were invited to select the one that would receive the title of "Plančte Indie Best Album Of The Year".
This refers to the years 1997 to 2002. The election was taking place at the end of the year. To consult the results, please check the dedicated page !

Plančte Indie is very proud to be able to present its listeners a lot of exclusive records. We regularly receive advance records (before their official release date), or in exclusivity for Belgium, Europe, or even the world. During the show of Thursday November 6, 1997, the Plančte Indie listeners were able to discover the new cd of Bowman Arrow. There are only two radio stations in the world that have it, i.e. the local public radio station in Navarre, FL (the place where the artist lives), and Plančte Indie.
The same thing happened with the American band "The Last Band On Earth", who decided to trust Plančte Indie for its very first airplay outside the United States ! Our listeners were the very lucky ones to discover first this rock band. And again in 1999, with the European exclusivity for the album of Greg Williams, "Asia Maya Zen".
And many more, as indicated in the playlists (I cannot mention all of them here, as it would take too long)...
Opportunities like this one are only possible thanks to your trust in us. Thank you very much.

I also like making interviews. In November 1998, the N.Y. based artist-singer-songwriter-producer Leslie Carter was in Europe, and she came to me for a one hour exclusive European radio interview. We talked about her, about her new dance project, ...
She brought along with her her new demo cd, which was for the first time ever played on the air. You can discover the picture of this meeting or listen to excerpts of the interview.
The same thing happened in 1997 too, with guest Roosie Rooney, singer of the Australian pop band Spooky.

Plančte Indie, it's not only that : it consists also of frequent contacts with many labels, artists, organisers of concerts or events, ... A show such as this one is very difficult to develop and to grow without direct assistance of people deeply (or less deeply) involved in the music 'business'. I am constantly developing new cooperations around the world with artists, labels, managers, promo partners, ... in order to improve the choice and quality that I offer to my listeners.
There are many reasons why all these people have trusted me, and have joined in. Their collaboration is essential for the survival of the show.

This is indeed not a 'one-way' cooperation that I propose to you : as an artist, label, organiser, you also have rights to me, and it can give you a very positive return, whether you are a big or a small company, or even a single artist or band. Check what other artists have previously said of our mutual cooperation and of their benefits.

Well, if you are an artist, a label officer, if you are much or a little concerned with independent music, and if you wish to reach a bigger range of people, I invite you to send promo copies to the hereunder address. Join in too the more than six hundred records labels, artists, bands from all over the world (Europe, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Russia, ...) who contribute to make Plančte Indie a show unique in its kind.
Be sure to read our promo policy & guidelines before.
If you want to have more information about it, contact me.
Do not hesitate either to contact me if you organise concerts, festivals, events, in Belgium or even abroad, or more broadly responsible of a cultural venue, ...
