UM! (Umi Defoort) is a Brussels-based producer and musician of Japanese origin. Rooted in classical music, jazz and hip-hop, he creates a unique sound that transcends genres. In 2020, he released his first solo album, UM!, featuring Peet, Chibi Ichigo, Glints and Jazz Brak, among others.

Although we have seen Umi work extensively in recent years with Chibi Ichigo, among others, on tours in Belgium, the Netherlands and Japan, and at numerous festivals with the bands he collaborates closely with, he has been a little more discreet on an individual level. Five years ago, he released a hip-hop album, but now he is changing direction: "It will be an electronic album on which I will sing myself. It will be completely different from my first album, which featured many guest artists and on which I did not sing myself."

At the AB Club, he will take you on a nocturnal journey through his own electronic universe!
