While famous German electronica band BODI BILL is currently on hiatus (with one half making quite a buzz with THE/DAS) the band members are quite active as well. Alex Stolze and Mariechen Danz teamed up with Matthias Geserick and Thomas Fietz to create a new project named UNMAP.

Over the past cold winter months the group recorded their first full length longplayer – and today NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION presents you the premiere of When To Lead And When To Follow, the first musical sign from it.

A quite eclectic piece with an interesting mixture of indie-pop, electronica but also slices of r’n’b and soul. Like an updated version of chamber pop. There is something undeniable special about UNMAP, so we might have a closer look on this four piece within the next months. The single will be released on May 10 via label Sinnbus, experience it already today.

11 Personal Album Tips You Should Buy On Bandcamp Day

The Corona pandemic is a tough time for all of us but for artists and musicians especially. With the concert sector forced to shut down, new sources of income are crucial for them in order to survive. Buying a record can help here, even if it's just a digital purchase, but that's obviously more effective than streaming it on Spotify. Today, on May 1st Bandcamp has decided to waive its cut of sales again, giving all proceeds to the artists. The first time they did that they raised over $4 million so let's do this again. Here, the NBHAP staff presents some of their personal recommendations. Feel kindly invited to give as much as you can.
