Soul Ableta presents Thöz

This month, we’re spotlighting a creative label that shares strong values with Soulableta. Founded in 2023 by Théo Zipper and Simon Groppe, Thöz is a collective built around joint action and solidarity, aiming to support and amplify marginal, experimental, and offbeat music.

The label brings together a number of outstanding Brussels-based jazz musicians - including Manuel Hermia, Diogo Alexandre, Jim Monneau, Pierre Antoine Savoyat, Lynn Casiers, among others. This musical direction becomes a starting point for weaving connections between classical traditions and street-level expressions.
