Out: album 'Kush Mafia' by Yayo Kush
Yayo Kush just dropped his debut album with lots of nice features such as Fruchtmax, Kill Kenny and others.
New signing: Dom Martin
Dom Martin was brought up in the often tough, but community driven streets of Belfast Northern Ireland and has certainly paid his life and musical dues. He has made a fairly 'meteoric' rise in terms of today's industry with his jaw dropping, entirely natural sounding and unforced/unschooled skill on acoustic guitar, matched with an authentic 'Belfast Blues' voice, bringing to mind comparisons with many from (Glasgow born) John Martyn to Rory Gallagher, with nods to many in-between, not least perhaps the likes of Van Morrison and Foy Vance.
UNERHÖRT! award 2024 goes to MONA MUR
The UNERHÖRT! audience award 2024 goes to the film MONA MUR IN CONVERSATION by Dietmar Post. The 86-minute interview film traces the biography of the Hamburg-born artist’s work to date, the stages of self-determined creativity that began in West Germany’s early 80s post-punk scene.
A cleverly constructed experimental set-up combines speaking in front of the camera, off-camera questions and illustrative visual and audio material to create a captivating narrative of a life lived according to her own ideas without concessions – presented in a dry, straightforward, self-concious and eloquent manner by a great artist to be (re)discovered.
The fact that the film, completed only two days before its screening, received an award from the audience in its protagonist’s home town the day after its world premiere, can only be described as kitsch!

Out: album 'Live in Napoli' by hackedepicciotto
This new collection of what the duo have dubbed Symphonic Drone is a mixture of industrial beats, electronic sounds with classical harmonies and melodies, with an added pinch of throat singing, Hurdy-Gurdy and spoken word. Daniel Miller of Mute goes on to say that “their music is a genre of its own, something new and very intriguing.”
Out: album 'Your Truth Is A Lie' by EROS
For their debut, the trio pull off the trick of producing an album that sounds laboured over, yet could have been formed in one late-night think-tank of the subconscious. Half-remembered nights in dank, cold cellars try to fight their way into the foreground, only to be pushed back by the desire to live in the present moment.
Rather than adding up the merits they have each accumulated in projects over the last three decades and handing the listener a receipt for their investment, Eros sees each member surrender his assets and build something entirely new. Wilsdorf's signature sheen was honed over decades, from a start working at Hansa Tonstudios under Jon Caffery, to becoming Neubauten's engineer / producer / sound man of choice. This is evident in his final mix, but across their debut, the trio speaks in its own voice. O'Connor's mastery of rhythmic languages is present, but with a subtlety so that when Andrews's bass booms out, it speaks with vitality and authority.
'Your Truth Is A Lie' threatens to concede to a pop sensibility, albeit one that exists in a uniquely twisted wasteland that is worthy of the Berlin lineage in which it was birthed.
The album deepens the resolve Eros carved out on their mini-album 'A Southern Code' (2022), which is given a nod on two reworked tracks, featuring guest vocalist Rosa Anschütz, and pianist Annie Hogan, each broadening the textural scope opening Eros to new avenues. It's all here. 'Your Truth Is A Lie' twinkles like a diamond, while vibrating with the hum of electricity still present in an abandoned building.
Here you find a great interview about the album and how it was created.
