Pop/Review Ohnoah - FMU
For Ohnoah, songwriting has never been a choice but a matter of pure survival. At the age of 17, they escaped a destructive home. Growing up non-binary and queer within a macho North African/Italian culture meant facing a total lack of acceptance, both at home and at school. They processed their trauma into melodies, building a home for themselves when the world didn't offer one. They aren't interested in making pain look pretty; they just want to tell the truth.

Electronic/Review OCCULTRA - Heart Of The Hunter
OCCULTRA is a dark, cinematic synthwave project blending aggressive analog synths with beautiful, haunting melodies.

OCCULTRA’s music moves between high-energy propulsion and immersive mood, evoking late-night cityscapes, danger, and distorted romance. Influenced by the raw drive of Carpenter Brut, OCCULTRA delivers synthwave that is both visceral and melodic.
