Ra­chel Chi­nour­iri

Rachel Chinouriri has experience not only in emerging stronger from her own past, but also in transforming the traumas she has suffered into resources. The singer, songwriter and activist uses her music to set her own biography to music and shares personal experiences that many young Black women in the UK can relate to. They are told through lyrics that are as approachable as they are poetic, in vocal registers that are sometimes fragile and tender, but then also seductive and self-confident.   

Emi­ly Ko­kal

As a member of Warpaint, she revolutionised the North American dream pop sector in the 2010s and created glorious albums such as ‘The Fool’ (2010) and ‘Heads Up’ (2016), which are now considered classics of neo-psychedelia. This was followed by solo projects, relocations, a pandemic and the birth of her daughter.  Reconciling family and career, her reputation as the antithesis of the stereotypical indie boy image and her experiences in the music business have allowed her to mature as an artist and a person.  

Bunt­specht

The desire for the spontaneous and unexpected, for the ambiguity of life, was already impregnated into Buntspecht's musical DNA when the six-piece from Vienna were still recording in a garden shed that had been converted into a studio. ‘Großteils Kleinigkeiten’ (2016) nevertheless turned out to be one of the most exciting Austrian music products of the year and laid the foundation for a discography that formulated a barely definable stylistic language between Viennese song, baroque pop and folk. Since then, Buntspecht have also attracted the attention of resourceful record diggers far beyond the borders of the Alpine state, who are keen to preserve the legacy of the great German-language singer-songwriters.
