At the age of 16, Matei Radu picked up the guitar and began his journey in music. Through this instrument, he discovered the freedom and joy of musical expression. Soon enough he got into music production and other instruments as well and started playing and producing with various bands in Bucharest. His musical quest and curiosity were developing more & more and in 2013 he surfaced as a solo act under the “Never” alias. In recent years Matei released on labels like Underdog Records, Tzinah Records, PhonicHouse and has booked and shared the decks with the likes of Sebastian Mullaert and Etapp Kyle to name just a few.

Prisca Agustoni (Lugano, 20 maggio 1975) è una scrittrice e
poetessa svizzera. Dopo la laurea in lettere ispaniche e filosofia e il master

trasferisce in Brasile, dove ottiene il dottorato in letteratura comparata
