Men Seni Suyemin is the electronic project of artist and producer Minona Volandova. With a background in classical training on the guitar, Volandova quickly fell in love with electronic and rave music. Her debut record "Believe" unites the two influences. We spoke to the artist about her practice, honoring roots, and organizing the first rave in her hometown.
The Iranian singer Faravaz will release her debut, "Azadi" (meaning "Freedom" in Farsi), on May 11th. The record recounts the story of her life in exile in Germany because the Iranian government sentenced her to one year in prison for the act of singing as a woman. Choosing to not return to her homeland, Faravaz fights for women’s rights from abroad. Her music is driven by the yearning and fight for liberation from patriarchal oppression.
