Hooverphonic is a Belgian band that was established in 1995. Initially characterized as a trip-hop group, they quickly expanded their sound and defied categorization. The band's original name was Hoover, but they changed it to Hooverphonic to avoid legal concerns with the popular vacuum cleaner company. Throughout their career, Hooverphonic has had a rotating lineup of talented musicians and lead singers including *Liesje Sadonius*, *Geike Arnaert*, *Noémie Wolfs*, and currently *Luka Cruysberghs*. Their music has captivated audiences with its unique blend of genres and haunting melodies.

With an impressive discography spanning over two decades, Hooverphonic continues to push boundaries and create captivating music. Their distinct sound combines elements of trip-hop, alternative rock, electronic, and orchestral arrangements. Each album showcases the band's evolution and willingness to experiment with different styles while maintaining their signature sound.

Influenced by artists such as *Flunk*, *Morcheeba*, and *Portishead*, Hooverphonic has carved out their own niche in the music industry. Their atmospheric compositions, ethereal vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics have earned them a dedicated fanbase worldwide. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Hooverphonic delivers powerful performances that leave a lasting impression on listeners.

Alex Callier selected the best remixes of their songs for each remix EP. All 4 remix EP’s are scheduled for release in 2021 and are cut on 45 RPM and pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

Hooverphonic are a Belgian band that formed in October 1995. Though originally categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a lone genre, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and a mixture of others. The band originally called themselves Hoover, but later changed their name to Hooverphonic after discovering other groups were already using the Hoover name and to avoid any legal issues with the vacuum cleaner company.

Since their formation, Hooverphonic's lineup consisted of bassist Alex Callier, guitarist Raymond Geerts, and various lead singers. Geike Arnaert (1997–2008, 2020-present) has recently re-joined the band.

Hooverphonic were supposed to represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020. However, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They will instead represent Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.

The band achieved international recognition through the inclusion of the Stereophonic track "2Wicky" on the soundtrack to Bernardo Bertolucci's 1996 film Stealing Beauty. "2Wicky" also appeared on the soundtracks of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Heights. The track's main riff is sampled from Isaac Hayes' recording of the 1960s hit "Walk On By".

“Inhaler” is, not least thanks to those wonderfully fanning out guitars, still a missed world hit.

Remix duties are fulfilled by drum ‘n bass producer Dj Pulse, owner of the Creative Wax label, and the late Hector Zazou. Both gave some LTJ Bukem-esque vibes to “Inhaler” and “2 Wicky”.

Furthermore, Alex Callier and the band re-recorded both songs and added some extra strings to “Inhaler”.

“A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular remixes” is available on Record Store Day. Only 2000 individually numbered copies on solid purple are pressed.
