The chance that all these artists would be able to visit PGH on the same night is insane. Join us for a v special once and be transported.

ELYSIA CRAMPTON is an Aymara-American electronic musician and poet known for utilizing wide samples and arrangements with her vocal performances to bring to light survival and Latinx culture, queerness, and its historical roots in Aymara history. Her sonic influences trace Southern hip hop/crunk and Latin metal, to North American psychedelic folk, neo-classical music, ragtime, early blues, and her family’s avant-garde records and collection of huayno and cumbia tapes. She’s toured extensively, performing and speaking around the globe at MOMA PS1, The Art School Glasgow, CTM Berlin, Moogfest, RBMA Festival and more. Crampton’s debut record, American Drift, and 2016 album, Elysia Crampton presents Demon City, were released to critical acclaim. Her latest Spots Y Escupitajo is now out on The Vinyl Factory. https://soundcloud.com/eande

TOXE is a 20 y/o Swedish DJ and producer who flits between hi-tech futurism and human emotion, crafting innovative drum patterns and lovelorn melodies.

In 2015, while still in highschool, she released her debut EP Muscle Memory and a Britney Spears-sampled single, "Xic," on Rabit's Halcyon Veil imprint.

EMBACI is a singer-songwriter and producer from New York. She’s part of NON Worldwide, a collective of African artists and of the diaspora launched by Chino Amobi, who use sound as their primary media to articulate the visible and invisible structures that create binaries in society, and in turn distribute power. “Embaci’s influences draw from etymology, hexapoda, classical composition and jazz. This generates a sound with cosmic condition that is not possible to know on electronic music’s plane of orthodox harmonic schemas.” - AQNB https://soundcloud.com/embaci

HALEEK MAUL is a 20 y/o American rapper & producer. Having spent most of his life in Barbados, his music is heavily influenced by a variety of sounds outside of the rap genre that range from electronic to dancehall and back. Noisey described him as "the new hustler of horrorcore" while Stereogum finds his sound “pushing rhythmic boundaries across dark, delicately-arranged soundscapes” all pointint towards his agility as a musician and performer. Also known as Kidgns ("Kid Genius"), he is a founding member of the collective called On the Tanz, and has collaborated with the likes of Deniro Farrar, Saul Williams, Shady Blaze, Hot Sugar, and Prince Midas.
