Official Jury Member of the VIA – VUT INDIE AWARDS 2019
As part of the jury, I am very happy to announce the final VIA – VUT Indie Awards 2019 shortlist. 16 artists, labels and experiments are shortlisted for this year’s edition. VIA! is Germany’s most important award for the independent music industry. On September 19th, during the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, the best newcomer, act, album, label, and experiment will be awarded. I was greatly honored to have been asked to give the Laudatio for the category BEST EXPERIMENT and to announce the winner. So I am very much looking forward to the award ceremony.
