Zmikeo! came into our attention whilst frantically searching for Serbia’s up-and-coming musical hidden gems before heading there at the tail end of last summer. We came across the mysterious Zmikeo!

August Shizz

Slightly late, but here is the August selection of the best tracks we could find east of Czech Republic. From ethereal sounds of Wind in Willows and Yuhalov both from Russia, to Maria Minerva’s new album Cabaret Cixous on Not Not Fun, to Hungarian electronic wizards OrRect to Nocow, Zmikeo!, Aulux and Kepikei and their urban dance paranoia to another Estonian songstress Spice Mouse and her new project Killorgiveup.
