Still Searching is the first single from the third FANATICO X album Beneath Your Feet, which will be released in autumn. The track is a reworking of the song Searching, which singer Jorge Socarrás wrote in the early 80s with then bassist Bob Hoffnar for their former band Indoor Life. Searching was first released on the second Indoor Life album in 1983, and in two more versions on a 1985 EP produced by Mike Thorne (Wire, Soft Cell, Bronski Beat, etc). Continuing the song’s evolution, Mathias Schaffhäuser transports the composition to the present day, making new references to the Hi-NRG and disco that influenced the original. The result is Still Searching, a highly energized song version that connects the decades on different levels - maximally condensed in the radio edit, and multi-layered in the album version.

In his club mix, Mathias concentrates on the technoid, abstract middle section of the song, steering the original's center of gravity further leftfield.

With Holiday from My Head, Tylee presents a debut album that is both personal and universal. Recorded in a cabin in the woods in the Netherlands, the album radiates an intimate, almost magical atmosphere. In one of the songs, you can even hear the birds chirping, which makes the recording location unforgettable. Tylee's music combines indie pop and indie rock, blending melancholic melodies with energetic rhythms to create a captivating and approachable sound.

Tylee's music can be categorized within the indie-pop genre, featuring clear singer-songwriter and rock elements. Influenced by her love for 70s music, her recordings are intentionally kept simple—authentic and approachable. Artists like PJ Harvey, David Bowie, and The Clash have significantly shaped her work. Additionally, her music is often compared to that of Lana Del Rey or Mazzy Star.

"Griotoubab" – a neologism forged together from the Senegalese terms "Griot" and "Toubab". The Griot are the Senegalese caste of musicians, bards, and storytellers, whom Pape Samory Seck and his family belong to. "Toubab" simply means: "white person".

Time and time again over the course of his musical career, Colognian Jazz pianist Mike Herting meets artists from Senegal, sharing both stages and recording studios with them. The rich percussion tradition of the Griot in particular, with their complex, mantra-esque rhythms proves to him a continued fascination. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2021, the idea of a crossover project in cooperation with the Germany-based Griot family Seck is born. The idea is to fuse these traditional Senegalese rhythms with western Jazz sounds: Griot and Toubab, side by side, sharing the same stage.

The results of this fusion can be heard on their new album "Salam Aleikum".

In "ton chien" (Your Dog), Raphaël delivers a humorous yet ironic reflection on desperate love affairs, where one turns into a howling "I wanna be your... dog" just to get "one more bone to chew on."

With a bluesy touch in the music and a wink in the lyrics, the band oscillates between the emotional worlds of love and disappointment.
