Hooverphonic brought cinematic grandeur to trip-hop. Formed in 1995 in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium — and originally called Hoover — the band paired the genre's downtempo beats with sweeping orchestral arrangements and a run of striking female singers. Their debut «A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular» (1996) delivered «2Wicky», a haunting, Isaac Hayes–sampling track that appeared in «I Know What You Did Last Summer». With «Blue Wonder Power Milk» and the voice of Geike Arnaert, they refined a lush, widescreen sound, and «Mad About You» (2000) from «The Magnificent Tree» became a European hit — sultry, string-drenched and instantly recognisable. Over the years the band cycled through vocalists, from Geike to Noémie Wolfs and Luka Cruysberghs, while masterminds Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts kept the cinematic songwriting constant. They even represented Belgium at Eurovision 2021 with «The Wrong Place». Blending trip-hop, orchestral pop and film-score drama, Hooverphonic craft music that feels like the soundtrack to an elegant, melancholy movie — a sound warmly embraced by chill-out and lounge listeners across Russia and the CIS, and one of Belgium's most successful musical exports.
