🚀 There’s something unmistakably hypnotic about Tender Misfit. Maybe it’s the way she stares back at the camera – unbothered, untouched, and in full control. Or maybe it’s the visceral tension humming beneath the surface of her latest visual chapter, ‘Cherry Girl.’

🔥 From DIY raves in abandoned factories to experimental noise in hidden basements, Romania’s underground scene is raw, unapologetic, and vastly underrated.

While the world’s eyes stay fixed on Berlin, something far more chaotic, emotional, and fearless is brewing in Bucharest, Cluj & beyond, and it’s time people started paying attention.

🎧 Read the full piece and dive into the madness:

Somewhere between a collapsed empire and a forgotten techno utopia, a fire has been burning. It’s called the Romanian underground, and it makes Berlin look like a branded playground for rich expats in black T-shirts. In Romania, the rave isn’t a lifestyle. It’s a survival instinct. We’re tal...

💬 What’s your take - can “sin” be art? Or is art already the most divine form of rebellion?

🖤 In a world obsessed with moral codes and cultural taboos, some artists choose to challenge the sacred, not for shock value, but to provoke thought, emotion, and raw human truth.

There’s a reason the Church burns books, censors bodies, and silences mouths. It’s not fear of evil, it’s fear of beauty they can’t control. They taught us sin was filth, that desire was rot, that our bodies were cages built for punishment. And yet here we are: photographing hunger, painting...

Talks | Janita

🎙 There’s something undeniably magnetic about 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚, an artist whose presence feels both cinematic and intimate, like stepping into the pages of a noir dream. Born in Finland, reborn in New York, and forged in the fires of relentless self-discovery, 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚 is more than a singer-songwriter – she’s a force of nature.

Review | Jamie Alimorad

✒ 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐝 isn’t here to play nice. His latest single, ‘𝑇𝑤𝑜 𝑊𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑠,’ doesn’t just knock, it barges in, drenched in distortion and thick with lust. Released on May 9, 2025, and hammered into shape during a four-hour studio blaze with Jordan Sherman, this track is the sound of a man burning bridges and dancing in the firelight.

Review | Janita

✒️ Some artists drop albums as if checking boxes – clichés repackaged with slick production and hollow reinventions. Then there’s 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚.

Her tenth studio album, “𝑀𝑎𝑑 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛”, feels less like an experiment and more like a long-lost classic resurfacing at exactly the right time. It’s indie rock, but not as you know it; it’s a mature, natural evolution that somehow sounds both timeless and urgently fresh.

Review | Yvonne

✒️ 𝐘𝐯𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞 doesn’t write songs. She documents the aftermath. On ‘𝐿𝑜𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑟’, the pop shapeshifter trades dancefloor euphoria for emotional excavation, digging through the quiet chaos that follows a friendship collapse. The result? A track that doesn’t ask for attention. It demands it, subtly, painfully, and without apology.

🎙 If 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝’s latest EP “𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑠” feels like a middle finger raised with style and intention, that’s because it is – loud, unapologetic, and soaked in raw emotion.

In this conversation, the band pulls back the curtain on their creative process, the emotional weight behind “𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑠,” and the strange alchemy of antique stores, gym sessions, and late-night epiphanies that fuels their work.
