Pepa Ivanova’s practice begins with attention: to ecosystems in motion, to species that migrate and adapt, to invisible forces that shape the living world, and to the traces human activity leaves behind. Working across ecology, technology, research and social observation, she follows connections that are easy to overlook, allowing scientific […]
Wataru Shindo doesn’t like being introduced. Ask him what he does, and he’ll tell you it’s complicated. Musician, yes, but also someone who ties people up in front of an audience and calls it trust made visible. He talks about both the same way: no ego, no mystique, just two […]
There is a particular kind of music that never seeks immediate recognition. It reveals itself gradually, asking for patience instead of urgency and closeness instead of spectacle. Black Water inhabits that quiet territory, where every composition unfolds with remarkable restraint, allowing atmosphere, memory, and subtle emotional shifts to shape an […]
Angel Fang found a chunk of its audience the way a lot of music finds people now, through a Reel at 1 am, no context, just a sound that wouldn’t leave. Behind it is a California-based musician who spent a long stretch unhappy with the music he was making before […]
Jake Sinetos aka Mazmere spent years pulling ‘David’ apart and putting it back together, never quite trusting it was finished. What changed was that the song stopped resisting him.

Corlyx feels like the latter, a project shaped as much by movement as by sound, drifting between Los Angeles, the UK, Italy, and beyond, absorbing fragments of each place along the way. What emerges is a dark, seductive universe where goth, […]
Tramhaus are Rotterdam’s live-wire post-punk revelation, a band celebrated for explosive shows and songs that hit like a spark to dry air. With a sound that effortlessly stretches from shoegaze textures to raw punk-rock urgency, the five-piece blend their diverse musical backgrounds into something both unpredictable and fiercely cohesive. On […]
Deceits feels like a band you experience before you fully understand. There’s a kind of raw clarity in what they do: direct, intense, and very present. Their sound carries both movement and emotion, pulling from different places without losing its core. In this conversation, Kevin “Pups” Moreno (vocals / instruments) […]
There’s something quietly compelling about the way Antony Szmierek arrived in music, not through ambition, but through observation, writing, and a moment of stillness that pushed everything forward. What began as poetry, scribbled over time, slowly found its way into sound during a period when the world itself felt suspended. […]
