Bande à Part is an ecosystem of raw sound, of strings stretched to the point of breaking, vocals bent and twisted into cries carved from an aching body. Teething, their latest release, is a punk rock-inflected coming-of-age ballad and the first glimpse of the upcoming EP Grit. The song will premiere on the occasion of a the single release show at The Old Blue Last on October 2nd. In this interview, we trace the genealogy of the track and music video together with writer, poet and musician Sabina Hellstrom.

A getaway dressed in gloss and fury. They move with purpose. Unbothered and unstoppable. Every step is styled in defiance. Cash floats like confetti. The heat of the day clings to their skin, but nothing slows the stride. This isn’t revenge. It’s reclamation with interest.

London Fashion Week has never been subtle, but this season felt especially charged. A citywide pulse of risk, imagination, and uncompromising taste. Designers here are not chasing trends; they are shaping the direction of fashion, insisting on texture, story, and tension over swipeable spectacle. From Dreaming Eli’s ritualistic Sicilian shadows to Dilara Findikoglu’s pale, rebellious ghost brides, the runways were full of intimacy, weight, and electric disturbance — moments that linger long after the lights dim. This is fashion as ritual, as rebellion, as the world shifting under our feet.

“Online, I want the work to live forever” he affirms when asked about how his work interacts differently within the digital and physical realm. Having a foundation as a sculpture, it was through programming that artist Damon Zucconi first started to evaluate words as the raw material from which to shape his coded-based art: a shift of paradigm that brought him to view text as a matter with its own agency.

Desire spills into the ordinary. Chrome and porcelain become sacred, their curves studied like lovers. A performance unfolds in domestic shadows. Nothing is neutral when touched with obsession.

Berlin hums with unfinished echoes, a city built on fractures and in-betweens. At Monopol, Ballet Sur_real fuses dance and installation in Modalities of Me. Five figures embody power, chaos, fragility, and ferality, exploring desire, intimacy, and identity through club culture, digital life, and hyper-capitalist pressures. A body becomes a question, a space becomes alive, and identity splinters into light, sound, and shadow.

Berlin Atonal closed its latest edition just weeks ago, leaving behind more than a festival of electronic music and experimental art. Returning from the city, clarity emerged: this year was a meditation on Berlin itself—its history, its architecture, its ghosts. More than performances or installations, Atonal revealed how a space becomes alive, how risk defines art, and how presence transforms encounter.

Half-dream, half-commute. Somewhere between the sharp edges of city life and the soft folds of sleep. She floats through the morning rush like a misplaced thought. In her daze, the absurd becomes routine, and routine becomes performance. A story by Zhong Feng and Sica.

As Ibiza spins into spectacle, filters, and pre-choreographed chaos, Amnesia remains defiantly raw, primal and soulfully intact. In a season where other clubs chase content, Amnesia offers something infinitely rarer: communion. The freedom to move, feel, disappear. And at the heart of this rebellion beats Pyramid, Amnesia’s flagship underground Sunday, a weekly ritual for those who know. It doesn’t shout for attention. It calls to your instincts.

Faces shift in and out of focus, never settling on one shape. Identity doesn’t arrive all at once. It drifts, multiplies, contradicts. There’s freedom in the refusal to stay fixed. A series photographed byCullen Blanchfield.
