Nosedrip

Hailing from the coastal town of Ostend, Nosedrip – real name Ziggy Devriendt – is a key figure in Belgium’s alternative music landscape. Closely tied to Ghent’s iconic Music Mania store, he’s also the visionary behind the STROOM label, known for unearthing obscure musical gems from across the globe.

With a background in curating shows for NTS and Red Light Radio, Nosedrip has built a reputation for his deep, unconventional selections – from 90s Icelandic techno to forgotten Latvian synthwave. STROOM releases are not only sonically adventurous but also visually distinctive, each wrapped in carefully crafted artwork.

Rejecting the “digger” label, Nosedrip calls himself a “gatekeeper to the gatekeepers,” with a taste for what he describes as “ugly music.” His mixes, like his Crack Mix, are moody, downtempo, and full of unexpected turns – a true reflection of his unique musical philosophy.
