SMALL SIMZ (United Kingdom)

The first mixtapes came in 2010 and 2011, and since then he has grown to become one of the most important voices in British hip hop. Audiences grew with Gray Area’s third album of 2019, and the foundations were laid for last year’s big break with the sequel Sometimes I Might Be Introverted. Not only did it enter an impressive fourth place in the UK, but interest spread across Europe. Shout out! thought it was the album of the year, while Guardian and paste thought it deserved a spot in the top five. Also in the office yes, Sometimes I Might Be Introverted has become one of the big favorites. Little Simz has been on our radar since he played Island Night in 2015.

Før jul solgte hun ut tre kvelder på Brixton Academy. NME var tilstede: – He was seen every inch as a star throughout the show; Simz’s ease and confidence is self-evident. No wonder: the album he’s on with this eponymous tour is a five-star masterpiece that NME has hailed as “almost perfect”.

MDOU MOCTAR (NE)

Mahamadou Souleymane makes music under the name Mdou Moctar. The recordings were not officially released initially, but the audio files were distributed via audio file sharing on mobile phones. After several albums of his own, he released Ilana (The Creator) with the full band in 2019, and has managed to further develop his desert songs. The album was very well received by the music media and left a larger audience opening their ears. This year he followed Afrique Victime, with a more energetic and exotic guitar playing. Artists from Niger mix domestic inspiration with fun psychedelic rock. Popular media such as the New York Times, Pitchfork and The Guardian thought he had released one of the strongest albums of 2021.

Pitchfork stamp det nyeste best new music albumet: – The magic happens when he starts soloing: a silvery, fluttering sound that bounces off every surface like a rubber ball thrown into a small room. While his vocals are delivered in group chants or anthemic call-and-response, his guitar playing is searing, irresistible, always the star of the show.

GOLDEN DAY (NL)

Altin Gün was started by Turkish and Dutch musicians in Amsterdam. Based on their own mix of psychedelic rock and Turkish folk music, they are gaining increasing attention on both sides of the Atlantic. They toured the United States with Tame Impala in 2019. As the pandemic shuts down concert life, they will be playing at some of the biggest and most important festivals in the United States. Now they are ready to continue the growing confidence of the crowd. The island has been working on getting Altin Gün into the program for several years, but due to the pandemic, we never reached our goal of announcing it, until now.

Etter deres første concert i London skreiv London in Stereo: – Alt?n Gün offers an introduction to soaring musical culture; refreshing frame of reference beyond our own. From the unbroken screams that followed them as they descended from the stage, it was clearly one that had been accepted.

They play with elements of authentic Turkish psychedelia and traditional melodies, but continue to broaden their musical horizons. On the Yol album from 2021, they’re on their way to a more synth-based sound. The band impressed with two sold-out concerts during Oslo World this fall.
