British synthpop veterans Depeche Mode have been shaping the world of pop and especially the electronic music scene continuously ever since they first plugged in their synthesizers back in late 1980. They inspired multiple generations of musicians and invited many of them to rework their songs over the past four decades. NBHAP head and lifelong Depeche Mode fan Norman dove deep into the remixes of the band and created not one but four tribute mixtapes dedicated to this special art form.
Berlin-based singer AKA Kelzz just released their debut record, "Odyssey". On it, they break boxes and express themselves authentically. Author Anna Grubauer met the artist to talk about their musical journey, the importance of talking about mental health struggles, and how they danced and cried throughout the recording.
