The composition in itself was quite minimalistic, it was just rhythmics on drums and a clear guitar sound. However I was immediately hooked by the energy coming out of their performance, letting yourself be taken away by the flow created by those fast percussions and guitar melodies...

Recommending: OH MU

ILLUSTRATION

Today I want to write about the colourful illustrations of OH MU, an artist originally from Switzerland and Italy currently based in France. OH MU is an artist of many talents since they also do music production and songwriting which I invite you to check out as well, but I will mainly focus on the illustration aspect here...

Recommending: Habibi Funk

MUSIC

The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about the Berlin-based label “Habibi Funk” is “digging culture”. Focusing on the music of the Arab world, Habibi Funk goes on the fantastic search of tapes to share the work of talented artists across the Middle East and North Africa...

Sarah Ibrahim

PAINTING & MUSIC

I have first encountered her work through the series “4th of August”, a series focusing on the consequences of the explosion that happened in Beirut’s harbour.

Madlib

9 sountrack composers for a diverse representation

MUSIC

From the many underrated things that exist on this planet, I believe soundtrack composers have to be considered as one of them. I am always so surprised and amazed when I discover a new soundtrack composer. How come a vast majority of us have never heard their names although they play such an important role in creating a univers...

ILLUSTRAION

Fernanda Peralta is an illustrator based in Sao Paulo and first encountered her work going through a zine on Tarsila do Amaral for Common Threads press. I was completely seduced by her oniric universe close to vegetation and nature...

2nd exit

MUSIC

With its incredibly sweet sound, “2nd” exit is an album (and also the name of the duo) I keep coming back to. With soothing voices, sometimes singing sometimes almost speaking, light rhytmics and melodies, its composition, overall quite minimalistic, will make you feel like you are...

Ilyes Griyeb is a photographer living between Paris and Meknes. Mainly taking portraits of people, I find his images very powerful; it always looks like there is some kind of connection between his camera and the subject. There is a strong sense of respect...
