Today, we evoke times gone by: from the straightforward grunge of the 90s to the gloom of the 80s to the colourful sounds of the hippies. And we dance between modernity and classicism, between intimacy and overwhelming epic.

Camilla Sparksss
Stormseeker

With a bassline weighing tons, Camilla Sparksss pulls us into the dark underground of a stylised fantasy of the 80s. Stormseeker fits perfectly on melancholic goth dance floors, surrounding the sweetly alien vocals with flickering synthesisers.

Shadows Of A Silhouette
No Matter Where I Go

The sirens transition into an uncompromising riff, evoking a blend of grunge and garage rock. With No Matter Where I Go, Shadows of a Silhouette have released a straightforward, razor-sharp and rousing song that does not shy away from harshness.

Patrick Wolf
Jupiter

With Jupiter, British multi-instrumentalist Patrick Wolf proves why he is still one of the best after a career spanning more than 20 years: the multi-layered arrangement, the grandeur of the sound, the perfect interplay of modern and classical elements. It overwhelms you with cinematic bombast.

Lightheaded
The View from Your Room

The birds are singing: Lightheaded from New Jersey evoke decades long past in their new single, The View from Your Room. With their groovy bedroom folk harmonies, they transport us to a lo-fi hippie paradise. Sugar-sweet pastel sounds.

Maria Basel
Say It Like You Mean It

An ode to honesty, caught between melancholic piano parts and driving electronica elements. Maria Basel’s Say It Like You Mean It flows, jumps and pulsates, at times intimate, then floating off into infinity.
