‘Whoredom’ arrives like a neon bruise on the skin of the night: luminous, tender, impossible to ignore. It moves through the body with calculated urgency, threading rhythm into muscle memory, turning late-hour restlessness into something charged and deliberate. From its first seconds, the track constructs an atmosphere where seduction and […]
In Nikolay Bobrovskiy’s quiet universe, Saint Petersburg exhales through peeling wallpaper and polished wooden floors, carrying the scent of time folded into silence. Lesya moves like a thought half-remembered, her body a tender punctuation in the narrative of the room. Each curve, each line of her skin becomes a whisper […]
Some albums announce themselves loudly, and others insinuate their presence over time, quietly rearranging the furniture in your head. “Mekanikaru” belongs firmly to the second category, and that is precisely its strength. It did not win me over instantly. Instead, it returned, insisted gently, and ended up occupying a space […]
Emerging from the theatrical world, Galore is an artist who defies simple categorization. What began as a stage persona has grown into a multifaceted musical project, blending the intimacy of cabaret with the expansiveness of original songwriting. With roots in Italy and a creative home in London, Galore navigates a […]
Margaux Lange works with Barbie the way an archivist works with evidence. Carefully, deliberately, without nostalgia softening the edges. In the “Plastic Body Series,“ fragments of the world’s most recognizable doll are pulled from circulation and given another life through jewelry that sits somewhere between relic and declaration.

On a forgotten basketball court in Ufa, where the asphalt has learned the language of neglect and rust speaks more fluently than children ever did, Timur Lutfullin stages a quiet liturgy. “Basketball as a New Religion” (2025) does not scream belief; it whispers devotion through absence, through bodies placed gently […]

From the first jangly strum of guitar, it feels like stepping into a space that’s hers alone, private, playful, and unapologetically self-contained, yet somehow it draws you in like a friend you didn’t know you needed. London-based and Melbourne-born, Magee has […]
Galore’s ‘You Love Me, You Love Me Not’ is a bold exploration of love, loss, and identity. From the very first piano notes, the song envelops the listener in a space that is at once intimate and vast, where every chord seems charged with both longing and inevitability. Galore’s voice […]
In 2025, the Mleiha Archaeological Site in the UAE, a landscape layered with over 210,000 years of human history, became the stage for something extraordinary. Călin Țopa’s ‘Transcendent Renaissance’ was not a performance in the traditional sense. It was a full-scale temporal journey, a living installation where sound, light, and […]
There’s no clear starting point in this conversation with EISM. It moves through hesitation, control, and the quiet labor of staying human inside systems that prefer smoothness over doubt. “MEKANIKARU” hovers in the background, not as a product to be decoded, but as a condition shaping how sound, time, and […]
