Convention-shirking Slim Soledad is part of São Paulo’s vibrant queer collective Chernobyl. She sets the scene in the Kathedrale for a live performance from Teto Preto, known as driving forces within São Paulo’s cultural landscape. Spearheaded by vocalist Laura Diaz, a co-founder of vital party Mamba Negra, the troupe are known for songs such as “Gasolina,” which has been at the forefront of much resistance and activism by young, queer, POC communities. In 2018, they released Pedra Preta via Mamba Rec, described as “an amulet that transforms our generation's grieving into fighting.”

Hibotep’s music transcends physical and spiritual boundaries. Playing music from all corners of the world, though largely rooted in African and Arab traditions, she rejects rules and conventions in favour of embracing her rebellious nature, and encourages her listeners to do the same.

Tennessee native Bbymutha has worked with producers such as Suicideyear, LSDXOXO, and God Colony to craft a sound that is as genre-defying as her lyrics are feminist. In the Bbymutha universe (a.k.a., The Mutha Land), women are allowed to be (if not downright celebrated for being) sexual, vulgar, ambitious, and savvy.

Debmaster & MC Yallah have been bringing heat to dancefloors, whether via their Hakuna Kulala release Kubali or with their fiery, infectious live sets.

Ndeko & Imbratura, aka Sicaria Sound, are the Deep Medi affiliates known for rattling dancefloors with contemporary dubstep and all other bass-heavy UK sounds. Their sets take inspiration from Imbratura’s love for grime and dancehall, as well as Ndeko’s roots in sound system culture and electro.

Hibotep, and Debmaster & MC Yallah appear in collaboration with Nyege Nyege.
