Featuring

Erika De Casier (LIVE)
Singer/Songwriter

A Portuguese-born, Danish singer/songwriter/producer, Erika De Casier has reimagined the Y2K R&B of her youth into an ultra-stylish, slick throwback to artists like Aaliyah and Janet Jackson. Her style is a faithful evocation of a specific moment in time for Black American music: when pop domination and electronic avant-gardism were two sides of the same coin.

Pookie (LIVE)
Producer/Songwriter/DJ

Achol Agaar, aka POOKIE, is a South Sudanese woman taking the hip-hop scene by storm with her unapologetically political bangers, witty lyricism and enthralling vocal delivery. POOKIE commands the stage and inspires a powerful connection with who she is and what she has to say.

Scratching (LIVE)
