The unconventional artist Nuha Ruby Ra releases her second EP "Machine Like Me". A sonic experiment at its core, the music is driven by playfulness as well as the aim to deconstruct musical boundaries. We spoke to Nuha about the ideas behind the record and its making.

Make sure you also head into the playlist, which she co-curated with us for this occasion.

The Swedish four-piece entered the indie scene with a rush and if they keep up their lively level like on their debut EP "Real Life Human Garbage", this is not going to be the last thing we have seen of these lads. Discover their raucous EP right here along with some other fine indie favourites, which they co-curated for us, featuring Andy Shauf, Fazerdaze, Fenne Lily and more.
On her debut record “Oh Glistening Onion, The Nighttime Is Coming”, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Pearla peels off the layers of every-day-life and reflects on the existential pain and beauty lying underneath.
