Trialogos ~ Stroh zu Gold
How many bands were born during the pandemic? Our guess is not many, as social distancing kept folks apart. Bucking the trend, cellist Sicker Man and multi-instrumentalist Kiki Bohemia launched a digital series called Cleansing Drones for Locked Down Homes at the

Don Zilla ~ Ekizikiza Mubwengula
When Don Zilla released the two-track From the Cave to the World EP in 2019, the jury was out: would the Ugandan producer choose dance music or abstract exploration? “From the Cave” was a drum ‘n’ bass banger, while the 12:50 “Inside Me” was

Hania Rani ~ Music for Film and Theatre
