Sound and Vision / Nick Zinner
Art&Culture | Interview
Somewhere between noise and image, the stage and the street, rock’n’roll and the early-2000s New York scene: a world where bands, artists, clubs and chaos collided. A guitar pushed beyond its clean sound: dark, brittle, distorted at the edges. Zinner’s photographs carry the same impulse, moving through faces, rooms, streets and bodies, caught somewhere between clarity and disappearance.

Moon and beyond / Eivør
Private |
On Tungl ("Moon"), Eivør moves through memory, instinct and uncertainty, tracing love, loss and transformation as the music leads her somewhere she never planned to go. A talk with the Faroese dark-electro folk singer and songwriter, on the occasion of the upcoming drop of her album on the 16th October via Nuclear Blast.

A Sound Without Expectations / Øneheart
Music | Interview
Øneheart moves beyond the atmospheric sound that defined him, opening up to new genres, shifting influences and a side of himself kept hidden for years.

Against The Delusion / Mikhail Borzykin
Art&Culture | Interview
Forbidden pages, passed hand to hand, with only days to read before they moved on. Borzykin has been writing that way ever since. What follows is his own account of how the bleakest record he ever made turned out to work as medicine, not poison.

Outside Reality / Voodoo Village 2026
Music | Spotlight
There are places that only make sense after sunset. VOODOO begins where the familiar dissolves: a forest lit by fire, sound echoing between the trees, strangers moving as if they've been following the same ritual for years. Nothing asks for your attention; everything pulls you further in. This autumn, the ritual returns.

The Power Of Music / Freddy K
Music | Interview
He came out of punk, where saying no is a discipline, and then spent forty years declining to fight anything from outside. Virus went on air in Rome in 1993 — eight until midnight, every night, eight years — named for what enters a system unnoticed and changes it from inside. KEY Vinyl runs the same way: he turns down more records than he takes and sends honest feedback with every rejection, because a door was closed on him once in Berlin and he was told the DJ doesn't know you. He left Rome at the moment the city stopped letting him grow. Everything he has made: the radio, the label, the fifteen-hour closings is a way of getting back to the side of the booth he came from.

Reclaiming The Antipop Roots / Neopop 2026
Music | Spotlight
NEOPOP Festival 2026 returned to its original name, ANTIPOP, for its twentieth edition in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Across three days inside the historic Santiago da Barra Fort, the festival brought together techno pioneers and a new generation of artists, proving why NEOPOP remains one of Europe's most distinctive destinations for electronic music.

Aggressive Tenderness / Callush
Music | Interview
Callush exists in a constant pull between intensity and softness. Her music is relentless and the person behind it speaks with surprising openness about doubt, instinct, boundaries and the parts of herself that success has sharpened. For the Nasty Cover, she looks back on seven years of building an artist identity, what Berlin continues to give her, the habit of adapting to everyone else, and the moment intuition became more valuable than perfection. Photographed by Marco Giuliano and styled by Anca Macavei.

Studio Is My Place Of Solitude/ Amotik
Music | Interview
At Stone Techno Festival 2026, Amotik played b2b with Lea Occhi, bringing a track they had made together in a single afternoon to a crowd hearing it for the first time. For someone who has spent the past decade working largely alone, it felt like a small departure from the system he had built around himself: his own label, his own release schedule, sets stripped to five or six sounds. A technical constraint became a method, then a philosophy. Through AMTK+, he eventually opened that system outward, becoming a curator of other people’s music too. Anil Chawla has spent his career protecting a very particular part of the process: the moment when the music still belongs entirely to him, before it has to become anything for anyone else.

I Still Feel Curious/ Sterac
Music | Interview
45 years into a career that has helped shape the language of techno, Steve Rachmad is still driven by the same thing that drew him to music as a kid: curiosity. Ahead of his Basilar Festival debut, the Dutch pioneer reflects on four decades of music, his many aliases, analogue machines, Detroit, the freedom to experiment, and the constant search for something new. From the records that defined his early years to the music he is still creating today, Rachmad looks back at a journey shaped by technology, instinct and an enduring need to explore. A conversation about legacy, creativity and what it means to keep moving forward without losing sight of where it all began.

Turning Wounds Into Light / Ultra Sunn
Music | Interview
New Beat slowed everything down. Front 242 pushed everything forward. Years of Baroque training sharpened the discipline, underground culture sharpened the instinct and somewhere in between Ultra Sunn found the frequency that became their own.
