“I loved that the EP became a real diary” A Conversation with Naomi Panzica

We already had the pleasure of speaking with the talented Naomi Panzica — and today is an especially beautiful Friday, because her new EP Nowhere to go to has just been released. Filled with four dreamy, warm tracks that invite you to drift away, the EP focuses on her lyrics, her intimate songwriting, and that raw, tender voice that lets you step right into her inner world.

Between Discipline and Balance — A Conversation with Kozlow

There are many keys to finding success — a bit of luck, being in the right place at the right time, maybe knowing the right people. Talent never hurts, but the most important thing is discipline. “For me, discipline is everything. It’s just as important to stay disciplined about health and well-being as it is about music.” I couldn’t agree more — and maybe that’s also what makes Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, and violinist Kozlow so inspiring to listen to, because beyond the sound, he has a lot to say about life, balance, and creative growth.

Between Roots and Rhythm — In Conversation with Massuma

“Afro house, for me, is about hypnotic energy, groove, and storytelling. It connects people in a way that’s universal, yet deeply personal.” That’s how Massuma describes his new single “Sikasso” — a track pulling you in from the very first beat. At this point, we also recommend pressing play on it while reading this interview — it would be a shame not to.

The Story Behind ‘Illusion’, Change, and the Power of Empathy — A Conversation with Idyl

“And in every beginning dwells a magic,” wrote Hermann Hesse — and it’s true. That subtle magic that helps us move from one chapter to the next. The magic of childhood might be the most special one of all — when the world still sparkles, everything feels infinite, and life itself seems made of light. Keeping that sense of wonder as we grow up is hard, almost impossible. But sometimes, music brings it back — for a few seconds, a few notes, a few lines that remind us of who we once were.

“I do this not for fame, not for numbers, but for the feeling.” In Conversation with Sofiya Nzau

hey say music is a universal language — one that speaks straight to the heart without the need for translation. And few artists embody that truth as beautifully as Sofiya Nzau. The first time I heard her voice on Mwaki and Wacuka — and anyone who’s ever shared a car ride with me knows I’ve had Wacuka on repeat for months — I was fascinated by her energy and her unmistakable tone. All the more special it felt to sit down for a conversation with such an exceptional artist.

Astral Bakers — Vertical Life, an Intimate Album Against the Rush

After introducing you to the Paris-based band Astral Bakers some time ago, they now return with their second album, Vertical Life — a record that nestles effortlessly into your ears and could easily become the soundtrack to just about literally anything. Where their debut The Whole Story unfolded in soft-grunge shades of hazy folk and atmospheric rock, Vertical Life feels like a moment of arrival — both musically and emotionally.

ShiShi — A Conversation on Indigo, Meditation, and the Journey Home

It’s a small detail, but it changes everything — the new album by Indian-born artist ShiShi is tuned entirely to 432 Hz, a frequency often associated with balance, clarity, and a natural sense of flow. In musical terms, it means the central “A” note is tuned slightly lower than the modern standard of 440 Hz, creating a warmer, rounder sound that many musicians feel resonates more organically with the human ear. Some describe it as more open and breathing, less sharp — a tuning that invites stillness without losing intensity.

Moldovan singer-songwriter Catalina Cara sees new life on ‘What a Feeling’

Hailing from Chișinău, Catalina Cara has accomplished a lot in her young life. The Moldovan singer – formally known as Cătălina Cărăus – debuted her first single at just 15 years of age. By 17 she’d made a leap and left her homeland for Britain where she landed several roles as an actress. Fast-forward to present-day, and the singer-songwriter, who also carries the flag for Romania, has found herself everywhere from the Electric Castle festival in Cluj to the pages of Elle.

In Conversation: Niia’s Tender Return to Jazz — A Portrait of Self and Artistry

When I see and hear Niia, I can’t help but feel that this is what it means to accept one’s fate — quietly, fully. And her fate seems to be music. To sing, to express, to make the world a little more beautiful by offering her inner landscape to the outside. With intention, with vulnerability. And perhaps, in doing so, she also pays a certain price — the price of being someone whose art and personhood have long since blurred into one another. Of being unable, at times, to draw clear lines between life and creation. Of burning brightly, but sometimes burning out.

“Every song is a page from my story.” — Maddisun on Her New Album

There are artists where you can feel that their personality stands right there on stage — not an artificial figure, which has its own charm too, but something with no distance between person and art. The young artist Maddisun is one of them. Her artistic self is simply an extension of who she is. “I don’t have much difference in how I show up artistically vs my daily personal self,” she says.

Pilar Victora returns, energized by new single ‘Mi Vida’

Nearly a year since her last release, Argentine-American Pilar Victoria has emerged from the quiet with a new single in hand. Picking up where she left off with Grammy-winning producer Happy Perez, “Mi Vida” is a slow-burning ode to the dull but consuming ache that often comes with long-distance love. “Don’t go to sleep, just talk to me. Just one more thing, baby don’t dream,” she sings in the pre-chorus, the song’s lone English stanza.

An Invitation to Slow Down and Listen Closely: Stavroz Return With Take a Seat

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.

Dancing Through Contradictions with Joya Mooi

The tension between buoyant beats and lyrics that dive into more complex emotions is something Dutch–South African artist Joya Mooi uses with ease. So it is with her new single, Technicolour, where envy isn’t painted in one shade, but refracted into admiration, doubt, and self-discovery.

Behind the Beats: Primate on Live Energy, Growth and the Story of About Us

What you give, you receive. Life always has a way of reflecting back what we put into it — at least in the best of moments, when everything falls into place. Like here: “There’s nowhere I feel more alive than during a live set. That moment when the crowd screams the lyrics and melodies back at you — it’s surreal every single time,” Primate tells us.
