History

In early 2010, Robert Helbig, then currently about to study sociology in Jena, Germany,[2] created NBHAP as a small site with only one video post per day.

In early 2011, NBHAP started to also interview artists, write record reviews and launched its own online radio station "Hope and Passion FM" which broadcasts "Bass Stop", a program that is fully dedicated to dubstep, drum and bass and related genres.

Since 2012, NBHAP is part of the Vice content-network music.[3]

In early 2013, Helbig relocated to Berlin and opened an office in the Berlin office. During this time NBHAP also started to publish show reviews and launched a category titled "Sound of the Day and Night".

Concept

NBHAP tells: "The world we live in is becoming more fast-paced and diversified than ever before. It might seem hard not to drown in the myriad of possibilities and some of us decide to simply live rather than to create life. But there are people who want more. Nothing But Hope And Passion strives to connect those people. Individuals who consider open minded arts, culture and thought as something more than simply an afterthought to the life of labor. […] Nothing But Hope And Passion – the zine for everyone who thinks a bit more about life, who wants to get a bit more from life and who gives a bit more to live."[4]

Besides music news, reviews of records and shows, interviews, the "Sound of the Day and Night" and guest mixes by artists, every week NBHAP also names an "album of the week". Furthermore, short films and "articles about life" (which include articles from fields such as politics, psychology, philosophy as well as anti-homophobia and anti-discrimination) are published.

gollark: Regarding objective morality: I don't understand how it's meant to work. Generally we consider things "true" if they're well-established by experiment and observation. I do not see how you can empirically test whether something is what you "should" do.
gollark: A kilobee is 1000 bees.
gollark: Not really. I meant that the arguments roger was making skip a lot of steps through equivocation things.
gollark: It is about 3 kilobees that people argue for "god", the complex agenty human-like being from their religion, by arguing for "god", the could-be-basically-anything-ever necessary first cause and such.
gollark: Anyway. semihyperseriously, it might help if you elaborate whatsoever.
