Cult of the occult, money laundering on Spotify, Top Boy

Are demons taking over pop culture? This week OttO talks to a mystic creature herself – the british artist Sarahsson – about the current trend of playing with the devil, cybersigilism being the new tribal tattoos and how a new generation is charging their Whoppers while remixing the forbidden. Plus: African music getting some long overdue global love, A$AP Rocky being honored with the Virgil Abloh Award, criminal gangs supposedly laundering money with Spotify streams and the British series Top Boy coming to an end.  The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Host: OttO KentWriters for this episode: Aaron Gonsher, Carlos Steurer and Jacob SperberEdit and sound design: Marc ÜbelLead Producer: Isabel WoopFollow OttO Kent.Follow Sarahsson and check out her debut album “The Horgenaith”. Support the fundraiser to help find The Stud in San Francisco a new home.  Hosted on Acast.
