Our Recommendations for You - Last Updated 13/05/2026
// Jazz & Improv //
Zak Scerri:
In case Zak Scerri doesn't see you, don't take it personally. The best things in life are ephemeral, and to capture their full potential, you need to keep moving. At least you can still hear him – weaving glistening fretboard magic into beautifully grooving, emotionally naked guitar jazz.

Daphne Roubini:
If she's not teaching ukulele at her own ukulele school or tirelessly promoting creatives, Daphne Roubini is drawing lines between the past and present in her songs. Her new album sounds like a lost classic from the 50s without evoking nostalgia – these are feelings which never go out of style.

Elina Duni:
Elina Duni has a dual citizenship, lives in a multilingual country and is singing in 5 different languages on her new ECM album with guitarist Rob Luft. Listening to her dreamy songs, gently pushed forward by frame drumming, is possibly the best proof for music as a universal form of communication.

Another Taste:
Can there still be a band that speaks for an entire generation? Another Taste don't think so, but their smooth-yet-hypnotically-funky new album comes pretty close. A collection of perfectly imperfect one-takes recorded live to tape, this is analog soul as a vision of the future.

Gary Holldman:
Gary Holldman may not be a minimalist in the purest sense: He rejects creative limitations, loves technological innovation, and appreciates stylistic diversity. And yet, he took 15 years to come up with the merely ten tracks of his debut's warm, mesmerising techno. If that's not minimalism, what is?

Berenice Llorens:
“Active listening is not only an artistic practice but a way of being in the world. It is a way of inhabiting spaces, relationships, and even my own body.”

Mai Mai Mai :
Mai Mai Mai's work has traditionally been defined as "Mediterranean Hauntology" or “Southern Gothic.” For his new album, Karakoz, an equally immersive and mind-bending trip, he travelled to Palestine in search of collaboration, the sounds of the land and the ghosts of the past.

Yui Onodera:
To Yui Onodera, sound is “material as an event.” Perhaps that's why his work, juxtaposing dynamic drones with abstracted and yet somehow highly specific field recordings, has found such resonance in the house community: It's the same sense of movement, just on an infinitely more subtle scale.

Lucie Antune:
Recorded in a stable-turned-studio, Antune's new album is an emotional meditation on death and silence. The results are restless, alien and transcendent, somewhere between the sublime and utter violence. It's an act of sharing taken to the extreme - this is what writing about pain really feels like.

// Rock, Indie, Folk //
Lambert:
The title of Lambert's new album is “I am not Lambert.” Yet here he is: jazz reflections meet soft electronica, smouldering songs are juxtaposed with sprightly chamber music. A playful counterweight to a copy-paste reality, it is from this paradox that truth, beauty and personal connection emerge.

FRIKO:
For Niko Kapetan of FRIKO, the goal of music is to peel away all conscious thought. If lyrics are to serve the song, in the act of creation, they, too, transcend their literal meaning. The band's new album is based on this mystery: Why can something to simply feel so profound?

Glenn Donaldson:
“I like to fall asleep listening to old hardcore. It’s comfort-listening for me.”

// Classical, Neoclassical, and Contemporary Composition //
Luca Longobardi:
Time is the medium through which all music flows. But very little music deals with it specifically. On his new EP of ethereal, otherworldly classical ambient, composer Luca Longobardi puts time front and center, creating pieces that warp, bend, and beautifully distort our perception of it.

Juli Deák:
When playing the flute, Juli Deák doesn't just use breath – she becomes it. Even her tailor-made dress is an expression of sound, as it moves from an inner place into the outside world. On her solo album Brisk, that stream mimics the ebb and flow of waves. It may retreat, but it never ends.

Naïssam Jalal:
“When I improvised for the first time I found out that I had music in me, that I was able to express with music what I could never express with words, that music was so powerful that I just wanted to play my music all my life.”
