GLINTSAL

Singer-rapper Glints and dj-producer FAISAL have been buddies for years. In 2020 they founded Abattoir Anvers, a creative collective based out of a former halal slaughterhouse in Antwerp’s Zuid district. This also gave rise to the hip hop show of the same name on Studio Brussel. A wide-ranging musical collaboration was written in the stars. This partnership, dubbed GLINTSAL, released an initial single ‘Some Time Alone’ (2020) that lead to a full album, ‘GLINTSAL Vol. 1’, showcasing the best of both their talents. Live, their supernatural alliance really comes into its own. Here’s what HUMO had to say about their concert at the recent showcase festival Eurosonic in Groningen. ‘The festivals that let THIS pass them by are either crazy, incompetent or perhaps just tired of living. Fuck yeah!’. Message received loud and clear.
