Artist: Mac Miller.
Record: The Devine Feminine.
⠀
“‘The Divine Feminine’ was the first Mac Miller album I heard. I knew a few things about Mac, but have never dived deep into his discography. I really loved this album, but couldn't say that it was my favourite of all times. Right now, Mac is helping me to go through pandemic times. Somehow, i've been stuck on ‘The Divine Feminine’ since the beginning of April and now I see this album in an absolutely different light.
⠀
There's nothing new for music lovers at first sight. On the other hand we have a Mac's evolutionary jump as an artist that I can measure in light years. More singing, less rapping. More soul and funk music and melodies, less beats and samples. More raw, honest and sometimes (in a good way) lustful feelings, less hip-hop bravado about success, money, cars etc.
⠀
This album doesn't sound like a typical happy end love songs compilation. it’s more about real aspects of relationships: understanding, arguments, good days when you love your partner so bad or bad days when all feelings are gone. ‘The Divine Feminine’ is a down-to-earth, bittersweet history about all of us - and it’s beautiful.”

Artist: Nirvana.
Record: MTV Unplugged In New York.
⠀
“This Nirvana album is my favorite record of all time for many reasons. For one, this was my first ‘good’ vinyl when I started collecting. It was my first 180 gram record as well. I remember being 11-years-old when this performance aired on MTV and I was just so drawn to the musicianship Nirvana (especially Kurt) had. I remember thinking this dude is smoking cigarettes on stage and his crackling raspy voice... man I wanna be cool like this dude someday! This performance set the stage for what later was the reason I became a musician myself. They changed the music industry like no one ever will; the songs on this album are stripped to imperfect perfection. To me, this album is everything.”

“My niece holding my copy of ‘Band of Gypsys’. When I was younger The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s ‘Smash Hits’ had quite an impact on me. It is still a favorite album in my collection. When I hold the record it transports me to that feeling of being uplifted by Jimi and the Experience for the first time. Happy days x”

Artist: Bruce Springsteen.
Record: Most of Them!
⠀
“It was 2008. At that moment, tickets for live music were not yet sold on the internet and the only way of getting them was physically in the music shops, like the old times. To The Boss was coming to Barcelona to play at Camp Nou in July and there was a lot of expectation as the city loves Bruce and Bruce loves Barcelona.
⠀
Two days before the sale started, I heard on the radio that there were already people queuing in the music shop to be the first ones to buy tickets. I called my good friend Marc and we decided to do the same. We queued in the street for almost 24 hours, we slept there, we ordered some pizzas and we shared some nice moments with other Bruce fans. I remembered these moments with Marc some days ago as this concert was July 19th, 2008. Great music, great experience and a great friend. What else do you need?”

Artist: Pearl Jam.
Record: Vitalogy.
⠀
“Vitalogy is Pearl Jam's third album and, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful: sad, melancholic and sometimes dark. A mix of incredible songs like ‘Corduroy’ and intimate songs like ‘Nothingman’ - the fifth track of this album which is something immense.
This track has a special meaning for me, it reminds me of a past part of my life that somehow marked me. For a long time I couldn't listen to it anymore, but then I decided to react by turning it into my strong point. A bit like ‘Black’ on the other hand, but that's another story …”

Artist: Billie Holiday.
Record: Lady Sings The Blues.
⠀
"I chose this album because Lady Day is everything! She is very deep and emotional, she spoke her truth, she spoke the truth. She is there for me at night when I need to lie down and feel and she's there for me too when I need something to cheer me up in the morning. She is like a friend, a mother and a prophet. I love her.
⠀
I found this album on my first trip to San Francisco, the same year that I moved to Madrid and brought it with me, I remember that my mom was very angry about that because we used to listen to this album together..."

Artist: Taylor Swift.
Record. Red.
⠀
“Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ is one of the greatest albums of all time and possibly one of the greatest you've never heard! I own more variations of this than any other record in my collection and am a fan of many artists. Recorded and released in 2012 and the fact that these songs were written by Taylor at 20 years of age is astounding. Forget the fact that this record spawned 7 singles, it's the non-singles that radiate greatly. Take the U2 inspired 'State of grace' and it's just on another level from the get go. Taylor co wrote 'Treacherous' with Dan Wilson of Semisonic. Gary Lightbody from 'Snow patrol' duets on the beautiful 'The last time'.
⠀
If you want to introduce Taylor at her finest, play 'All too well' and you'll hear just why she's among the greatest writers of all time as she weaves in and out of the present and past with the haunting 'I'm a crumbled up piece of paper lying here' line. She flirts with a huge dubstep chorus with 'I knew you were trouble' and the amazing 'Holy Ground'.
⠀
The fact it did not get a grammy shows how out of touch record execs are. An artist whose accomplished so much in so little time and is as fascinating as Springsteen, The Beatles, and Led Zep among other greats. This record will stand the test of time. Get out there, grab it and listen for yourself...thank me later.”

Record: My Baby Just Cares For Me.
⠀
"I chose this record because after many years I can really perceive the beauty and meaning of Nina. I got this vinyl from my sister when I was little. At that time I could not understand the meaning and relevance of her art. Years later, her voice is as valuable as ever and maybe even more important today to make people realize that we are still all equal."

Artist: Sléo.
Record: Qui joue perd gagne.
⠀
“I have chosen this Hip Hop record because it reminds me of my first interview with an International Hip Hop Crew. In July 1997, I received the Chance to produce and host my own Hip Hop radio show. This was just before my 19th birthday. After several radio courses, I was able to release our first radio show called ‘The HIP-HOP Remainz’ on Channel K (Kanal K), together with my partner in crime, Chico.
⠀
We were both enthusiastic lovers of Hip Hop music and its roots in Soul, Funk, Jazz and R&B. At that time there were a few radio stations playing Hip Hop music from the 80's and 90's, so we were even more pleased to be a part of it. We always had various guests from the local Hip Hop scene in the studio, who contributed their part to the success of the show and its fast spreading.
After a short time, we had the opportunity to interview our first international act, the french rap combo from Paris, Sléo, who toured in Switzerland in October 1997 to present their album ‘L'essence du komba’".
⠀
We attended the concert in Baden (AG) and were able to interview the guys afterwards.
What remained? Our first interview experience with these good-humored guys and their great 12" vinyl!”
