Mixtape #156


Spanish quartet Melenas, comprising Oihana (guitar, vocals), Leire (bass), María (keyboards) & Lauri (drums), have been making waves since forming in 2016 with their energetic and compelling krautpop compositions. Hailing from Pamplona, they’ve been an integral part of the city’s underground music scene. Last year they released their incredible third album, Ahora, crystallizing the musical vibrancy they’re known for whilst taking a more nuanced and complex approach to their sound. We’re excited to have them curate this month’s mixtape, offering a glimpse into their diverse musical influences.

Le Guess Who?’s Who 2022: Dos Monos

There’s just over a month to go before Le Guess Who? takes over Utrecht. With over 150 artists set to perform, how do we make sense of such a monumental line-up? We made a list of the artists we’re most excited to see and asked them for their recommendations.

Dos Monos

Japanese experimental hip-hop trio Dos Monos revel in the openness of their sonic concoctions, adeptly blending rap, jazz, latin music and many other styles. The outfit of childhood friends Zo Zhit, TaiTan and Botsu formed Dos Monos in 2015 and have been garnering a strong worldwide following from all walks of life, appealing to fans of disparate genres. We can´t wait to see them performing at Le Guess Who? and today they tell us which three acts they are most excited to see at the festival.
