Belgium’s BTL (short for Beyond The Labyrinth) resurfaces with fresh momentum and a sharpened identity. A shorter band name, a simplified logo, and a renewed musical direction mark what the group considers a renewed chapter — not a rebranding, but a realignment.
Their latest single, ‘My Favorite Mistake’, is the first fully original track to feature vocalist Johan Lotigiers, who joined the band in 2024. Johan’s blues-rooted, soulful style brings a looser, more playful edge to BTL’s classic rock foundation — think early Whitesnake, Deep Purple, with a touch of Louis Prima charm.
‘My Favorite Mistake’ wasn’t born from a guitar riff or lyric sheet. It started in a garage, with Johan recording a spontaneous scat vocal idea into his phone — a jazzy, bluesy phrase drenched in concrete reverb.The looped vocal became the song’s rhythmic backbone.
Guitarist Geert Fieuw remembers reacting with: “Prima, Louis!” — a now-iconic moment among band members, nodding to the wild showmanship of Louis Prima and The Jungle Book.
That energy carried into the studio version: a rock track with groove, swagger, Hammond organ fire, and a cheeky “More Cowbell” wink.
The accompanying music video captures the band’s natural chemistry and lighthearted stage presence. It’s not a narrative clip — just a band enjoying what they do best.No filters. No gimmicks. Just five seasoned musicians, with a sixth member — their beloved van Mariette-De-Camionnette — stealing the intro.
