Pop has always carried the wonderful potential of a trojan horse: radical ideas and subtle changes carried by a beat, a catchy melody or an attractive imagery withhold a power of their own: a means rather than a disguise – the art of playing with and within the genre and molding it anew. 

Genre is not a given or a formality: It is a statement, a stance, an evolving form that is individual, committed yet never self-explanatory. It is the voices of this cutting-edge, inspiring brim that would take over ausland's space once again in 2024.
