Michael Söderlundh (born 1942 in Leksand) is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm. Since the mid-1960s, his work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions. ​In Söderlundh’s paintings there is always the presence of something unexpected, as if the image might at any moment take another direction. It is precisely this openness that makes his artistic practice as compelling today as when it first began.

On their new album, Altin Gün turn down the synths and let live instruments, vintage gear, and spontaneous interplay take center stage in the soundscape. Each track is a reinterpretation of classic Turkish folk songs – filtered through the band’s distinctive blend of psychedelic rock, funk, and groovy pop. With their new album in tow, Altin Gün will return to Sweden in 2026. Their last show was sold out – don’t miss your chance to see them live in Stockholm at Fållan on March 26.

Altin Gün - Live at Fållan

Sultan Stevenson plays music rooted in gospel, UK club rhythms, and precise piano jazz, but through it all runs something else: a driving will, seriousness, and hunger. He is 22. His debut Faithful One made the British press clear their schedules. El Roi, released on Edition Records in spring 2025, deepens both tone and temperament. Nothing nostalgic—this is music moving forward.

A skateboarder jumps high above an indoor ramp while other people watch in the background. The movement is dynamic, with bent knees and the board held close under the feet in mid-air. The image conveys speed, courage, and the energy of a skatepark setting.
