Quiet Radicalism / CPHFW AW26
Private | Spotlight
Copenhagen Fashion Week A/W26 once again emerged as one of fashion’s most quietly radical stages, where experimentation was rooted in rethinking how and why clothes are made. Upcycling and secondhand materials functioned as givens rather than statements, balancing political urgency with emotional depth. Across the city, designers embraced softness and vulnerability, moving fluidly between introspection, subversion, and nostalgia, with sustainability seamlessly built in.

Fashion | Spotlight
PROJECT 2098 began as a personal experiment before becoming a fully formed universe shaped by biology, mutation and emotional experience.
DANCÆ Ballet Sur_real / Modalities of Me
Art&Culture | Spotlight
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.
Atonal 2025 / The place is the space
Music | Spotlight
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.
CPHFW SS26 / What To Remember
Private | Spotlight
This season in Copenhagen carried a sense of fragility and unfinished edges. Shows unfolded in raw spaces where clothes felt inherited, altered, and marked by time. Softness appeared, but it was heavy and unsettled, closer to rupture than romance. What emerged was a language of memory, intimacy, and quiet unease.

When the City You Love Stops Loving You Back
Art&Culture | Words
After nearly a decade in Berlin, the city that once felt like home now feels distant. This is about the quiet moment you realise you no longer belong to a place in the same way and the search for what comes next.

Movement Is the Message / A chat with Sam Quealy
Music | Interview
Her world is built on distortion—of genre, gender, glamour. Raised in Australia, based in Paris, shaped by club nights, theatre stages, and a deep obsession with movement, Quealy merges hyperpop, techno, and raw performance into something that’s part spectacle, part exorcism.
Rewire the Chaos / A chat with FJAAK
Music | Interview
Broken glass. Strobe scars. Bass shaking the bones of an abandoned forest. FJAAK came up on raw instinct—hacked gear, illegal raves, no sleep, no plan B. Before the bookings, before the Boiler Rooms, it was just a basement in Spandau and the thrill of noise with nowhere to go but louder. Now they’re closing Berghain for 11 hours, running a label that’s more like a syndicate, and still building everything by hand. This isn’t a nostalgia act. It’s muscle memory. It’s resistance through rhythm. Spandau20, the Berlin-based collective label rooted in underground rave culture, celebrates its 10th VA with 10 tracks from its co-founders—each one a reflection of the label’s raw, percussive, hardware-driven ethos. To mark the occasion, we sat down with FJAAK for a a deep dive.
