Hello from Berlin! I love freedom, travelling, long train rides, Stefan Zweig books, cats, colours, writing postcards, music, and movies à la Woody Allen and Wes Anderson. What makes me really happy is the seaside, sunrises and sunsets and having lots of time!

“Wicker Woman was my return to myself” — Freya Ridings on Power, Vulnerability, and Reclaiming Her Core

“Wicker Woman for me was a return, a reclaiming and trying to embody the empowered feminine that I saw around me growing up from my mother and my grandmothers. I saw fiercely independent, beautiful, fiery, funny, strong women, and I think for me I felt in myself — especially over the last sort of few years — a kind of weakening and a people-pleasing that was really frustrating to me. And especially with making music, you can’t really come from that mindset,” Freya Ridings tells me the inspiring and very personal story behind her latest, magnificent song Wicker Woman — a hymn to reclaiming the original feminine force, written by Freya and recorded with Jennifer Decilveo at Beach Tree Sound Studio in LA.

With Take a Seat, Belgian quartet Stavroz return with their most focused and free work yet. The 14-track album drifts through dusty deserts and humid cities, all while holding onto the warm, acoustic-meets-electronic sound that defines the band. Written partly on the road and finished together in a countryside studio, the record carries both the movement of travel and the calm of retreat.

In Conversation with Monolink on “The Beauty Of It All”

“It was a journey of rediscovering the joy of making music within myself,” Monolink tells us — a feeling that runs through the whole album. Written in retreat, surrounded by stillness and nature, The Beauty Of It All is perhaps his most personal work to date, moving between acoustic fragments, pulsing electronics, and moments of breathtaking fragility.

Changes aren’t always easy — but sometimes, they turn into something remarkable. For MATRAKK, Coming Back feels like one of those moments. The title couldn’t be more fitting.

Video Premiere: A Strange Little Love Story in a Blurred Reality: Mercy Land’s ‘Get Lost!’

From the first notes of “Get Lost!”, a hypnotic beat sets in—dark, propulsive, and strangely inviting. The track pulls us into Mercy Land’s world with a mischievous wink and doesn’t let go. The song is a wild ride—a little dark, a little twisted—shifting gears across genres, tempos, and emotions. It’s an alt-dance track that pulls you into its own uncanny rhythm and doesn’t let up.

There’s a tender tension running through bat zoo’s music — a sense of holding on while knowing you might have to let go. His new song Diamond Lanes, premiering today on C-Heads, captures that exact feeling: watching something beautiful drift out of reach, even when you try your best to keep up.
