The Artists from the listen to berlin Samplers 2016/17:

#1 – Mop Mop – From ‘Lunar Love’, the fifth studio album from Benini, here are the two poles of his music – from abstract and experimental sounds which are often bleak all the way to catchy Soul – and again redefining itself. His background in African-American jazz meets some tribal beats with an intergalactic storyline that welds his songs together into a single force.

#3 – NOSOYOBerlin is the headquarters, though Amsterdam is an important sideshow in their story: NOSOYO are Donata Kramarz and Daim de Rijke who only came together in Amsterdam in 2014. Chemistry and magic occured immediately. The result is pop, somewhere between Nina Simone and Sia. Grounded and stringently – Nosoyo reduced sound to something that is hypnotic and urgent.
