Recommending: Salute to the Sun
MUSIC
“Salute to the Sun” is the kind of album that calms your body instantly (or at least mine), it’s smooth, delicate and somehow gives the feeling that it goes in-depth into the music. Listen to the conversation taking place between the different instruments and see where it takes you...
Recommending: Denisse Ariana Perez
PHOTOGRAPHY
The exploration of the human body and of its representation. Young or old, hairy or wrinkly, under the sun or underwater but always soft and safe, this is what the pictures of Denisse Ariana Perez are about. What the human body is for real...

A conversation with Beya Panicha

A selection of 5 electronic/dance music
albums
MUSIC
It has been a while since electronic music overall has been mentioned here so I wanted to share a selection of 5 albums that I have been really liking lately. You probably know the drill by now, some are more industrial and heavy, some more ambient, some more “electronic”, the selection is as diverse as possible to try to represent as many ...
Recommending: Fuco Ueda
PAINTING
Fuco Ueda’s universe feels like entering a daydream; a world of female silhouettes, flowers and animals, where air blends with water as if they were one, and where time seems to be going slower than it ever will, here, on planet earth...
Recommending: Di-Meh
MUSIC
I already knew about Di-Meh’s music for a couple of years but recently I got to take a closer look at his work, listening to his last release “Mektoub”.I started listening to the album without any expectations, really. I knew him for his explosive style, as much in his flow as in the instrumentals (crazy basses especially) and thought it was pretty much all I was going to get out of the experience...
Recommending: Donna Dimi
GRAPHIC DESIGN
If I had to choose a word to describe Donna’s work I think I would choose the word “subtle”. You can find a lot of color gradients, geometric shapes and curvy lines giving the work a surreal feeling, which are often balanced out by more natural elements such as bodies, hands, faces, flowers. There is a really interesting contrast between...

Selections of new and 2nd hand records, a great diversity of genres, an important presence online with different content on facebook and instagram, also curating cultural events, small concerts, parties or online dj sets. It seems they can do it all and looks like it’s only the beginning...
Recommending: Charif Megabarne
MUSIC
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. I directly noticed her work by its vibrant colors and its detailed lining. Looking at it felt like being transported to another universe, one of intense colors, perspectives and well chosen details...

Madlib
MUSIC
Today I wanted to talk about an album that I have been enjoying lately: the last album of Madlib “Sound Ancestors”. The vibe of this album reminds me of the fantastic albums of J Dilla (who was also Madlib’s friend), composed of a bunch of loops and samples magically coming together into a coherent whole...
