The Berlin-based neo-pop duo MADANII & LLUCID makes music with a political message that questions stereotypes, representation, and demands space in the Western hegemonic music industry. NBHAP author Liv spoke to the artists about their second EP 3RD 3YE and the interview series ORI3NTATION, which asks where stereotypes regarding the 'Orient' come from and how we can get rid of them.
NBHAP editor Chris Hegholtz met ABAY's frontman Aydo Abay at Parallel Records in Cologne in order to talk about five albums that helped shape the sound of ABAY's sophomore record 'Love & Distortion'.
