Ibeyi
They owe their talent to their father, Anga Diaz, famous percussionist (Buena Vista Social Club). The day after he died, Naomi, who is responsible for the rhythmic-passionate portion in the duo, held cajón in her hands for the first time. Pianist Lisa adds harmonic accompaniment and soul atmosphere…
Fat White Family
What you can be sure to expect from the band is the unexpected. Neither their live gigs nor studio recordings can be pigeon-holed. Drummer Dan describes the song-writing partnership of Lias and Saul as being like that of a blackbird and a boa constrictor; however, he’d like to leave it…

Einstürzende Neubauten – German industrial legend
At the time of their formation (1980), the band shocked the audience by immense noise, intense irregular rhythms and apocalyptic lyrics.

One could be tempted to say that he still represents a kind of Syrian wedding show but that wouldn’t have earned him rave reviews from Pitchfork; Björk wouldn’t have invited him to record three remixes for the second disc of her Crystalline Series and Caribou wouldn’t have picked him when…
Tom Vek - multi-instrumentalist from the garage
He spent the 90s writing and rehearsing in his parents’ garage. 2005 saw the release of his debut album We Have Sound. TV series O.C. featured one of his songs (“I Ain’t Saying My Goodbyes”) and Tom also contributed to the Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack. A boy from garage made it to the front…
Heymoonshaker – world-class Beatbox Blues from the streets of New Zealand
Angry bluesman Andrew Balcon and fizzling beatboxer Dave Crowe kept on improving their art mainly in front of the most straightforward club in the world – the street. And it was the street (at the opposite end of the world) where these musicians met. From South Island they went to Sweden and…
Fufanu - made in Iceland
In 2009, Fufanu started as an electronic duo that soon played festivals such as Roskilde or Iceland Airwaves. The duo with singular Icelandic names, Hrafnkell Flóki Kaktus Einarsson and Guðlaugur Halldór Einarsson (a.k.a. Kaktus and Gulli) exchanged Macbooks and DJ booths for guitars and switched…
