Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek recently released their new record "Yarın Yoksa". The album follows the acclaimed releases, "Dost 2" (2022) and "Kar Yağar" (2019), and was recorded in New York City. Ilo Toerkell met Derya Yıldırım and Helen Wells from the group to speak about working with Anatolian classics, folk music as resistance and the bağlama in Germany.
The Amsterdam-based duo Feng Suave just released the follow-up to their 2017 self-titled debut. We spoke to the band about the EP "Warping Youth", their musical aspirations, and making furniture in Italy.
