'Once for my birthday, my mum offered to buy me vinyl even though she is not used to collecting or searching for records. She said she saw a musician on TV and it reminded her of the music I like.

I already knew the record and was truly surprised when she brought me to the store to pick it up, like two worlds meeting.' - Aude van Wy…

There was, of course, the lea…
