SunLoop & MoonLoop

From the 50 finalists of a year (25 genres × 2 tracks) the Council shapes two complementary yearly editions: one “twin pair” per genre – one track in the sun, one in the moon.

Why sun & moon?

Sun and moon determine the real yearly cycle of the Earth – and with it the symbolic pulse of cultural development. With 25 genres × 2 tracks per year, a “twin pair” emerges per genre:

one track in the SunLoop (sun), one track in the MoonLoop (moon).

This creates a double narrative – visible surface and hidden deep layer – genre by genre.

- SunLoop -

The bright, front-facing, culturally visible side of the year.

• Shows the tracks that represent their genre outwardly in that year (community favourites, peak moments, broad awareness).

• Per genre, the more visible / accessible track ends up in the SunLoop.

• The SunLoop forms the “official” story of a year across all 25 genres.

- MoonLoop -

The hidden, pulsating deep layer of the year.

• Shows the tracks that embody scenes, subcultures and experiments and shape the genre from within.

• Per genre, the deeper / more niche track ends up in the MoonLoop.

• The MoonLoop forms the “unofficial” but deeper story of a year.
