Approaching her to take on feminist theory, musings on bisexuality, and mental health, Albertine Sarges' musical endeavors move from Viv Albertine-inspired post-punk to Tune-Yards' reminiscent vocal acrobatics. While she maintains a sense of comedy in her approach, her music is also a platform to explore the self and contribute to the broader societal discourse.

ALBI X is an Afro-German artist with Congolese roots. He speaks deeply from the soul of many young people with complex identities. The artist doesn’t confront daily realities such as racism or classism, with aggression or ‘gangsta’ attitude. Instead, he celebrates a multinational self-image with a lyrical fusion of Lingala, French and English, countering the exclusion with an extremely positive, energetic and inclusive worldview. ALBI X prefers inspiring people with his infectious hip hop vibes.
