Hi all,
The February selection is done and features a couple of straightforward rock tunes from bands like Ghost Woman, The Point or Altin Gün, but also great jazz from Eiko Ishibashi and Alex Sadnik as well as rap music from Your Old Droog, a Walrus-faced songwriter named Pixy Jones and beautiful piano compositions from Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru. In other words, quite a mix of styles as always.
