Mixtape 96 by Coco Cobra

 
 

Soft Spot for Core Values

“You need to build a lot of things from scratch. That’s why I really appreciate a lot of people here doing their work.” That’s how Coco Cobra describes what she values about living and working in Hanover, one of Germany’s smaller cultural bubbles. Seriously kicking things off with DJing just a second before the pandemic started, Coco Cobra didn’t feel too much pressure starting a career. That go-with-the-flow kind of attitude probably does not only come from her true love for music, but also because the DJ and producer is very concerned about other basic parameters that are important for a healthy and equal music scene. information, portrait, tracklist

Mixtape 93 by O-WELLS

Dinosaurs and The Craze

It didn’t turn out exactly how young Lennard Poschmann imagined his life as a grown up: As a kid, he wanted to become an archaeologist and dig for dinosaurs. Even though he’s not hunting for something that’s millions of years old, still O-Wells is on a constant treasure hunt – for records. interview, portrait, tracklist

Mixtape 92 by Nelson Brandt (Nepumuk/Knowsum)

Take Off Your Shoes Please —

You probably heard of knowsum, as he produces a big variety of music and comes as an insider tip for unconventionally funky instrumentals. And if you are into German rap you surely know Nepumuk, infamous for his stinging comparisons as well as his articulate yet smooth flow that is not afraid to ascend into singing. But whom you likely never heard of before was Nelson Brandt, but here he comes with what was to be expected sophisticated funk-eclecticism. interview, portrait, tracklist

Mixtape 91 by GROPINA

Tuscan childhood dreams —

Everyone who’s in involved in the musical universe in whatever way has this story. One that talks about how they got into the world of sound as a child. Some will tell you about their older brother or sister. Others will brag about the seven instruments they started playing from an early age on (sorry for the slight sarcasm here which is likely to derive from the failed attempt of my parents trying to send me to piano class when I was five). There are these tales of people who started rocking the decks at the age of nine in their children’s room. And there’s the classic story which is revolving around a house filled with music: a fruitful early education driven by parents who are naturally passing on their love for music to their offspring. interview, portrait, tracklist
