Foochow is the one man project of Tim Heddebauw. Operating from Ostend (Belgium), Tim started playing keyboards and synths in the early nineties, when Belgium was known for its EBM (Electronic Body Music) and dark electronic bands like Front 242, A Split-Second, Klinik, Dive, Insekt, Poesie Noire and The Neon Judgement.

At the same time, Belgium witnessed the birth of a dance-revolution that soon spread across the borders. First New Beat, then House and finally Techno and Trance were the natural offshoots of EBM.

After several electroprojects Tim founded Foochow -named after a Chinese city- in 1999. Foochow headed radically for the dancefloor but was still heavily influenced by his electroroots. Foochow appeared on several compilations and performed all over the country. In 2001 Trance Forward appeared, a cd reviewing three years of Foochow.

At the end of 2003 Foochow was selected to play at the famous ’Belgian Independent Music Festival’ (BIMF) at Hof ter Loo in Antwerp. The full line-up: The Klinik, Male Or Female, Insekt, Snowy Red, This Morn Omina, Stin Scatzor, Foochow, Foetal Void, Feature and Hedera Helix. Along with the festival Foochow appeared on an exclusive promo-cd and got a two-page interview in the Dark Entries magazine, fully spent to BIMF 2003.

At the end of 2004 Foochow joined the Brussels electronic collective Je men Fish. A few months later the new CD Past Progressive appeared and got some excellent reviews. A lot of concerts and DJ-sets followed in Antwerp, Brussels, Eindhoven (Nl), Amsterdam (Nl) and The Hague (Nl).
