Baro Sura
Mac Miller’s posthumous album, Circles, contains only one guest appearance. “Hand Me Downs” features Melbourne, Australia singer and rapper Baro, who sings and plays drums on the track. Baro has been releasing music since he was still in high school. In 2013, he released a 16-track project titled The Earth is My Living Room on Bandcamp.
The next year, he broke through at the age of 17 by catching the attention of outlets like Noisey and Acclaim Magazine with his ‘90s-inspired mixtape, HOWGOODISGOOD?. Reviews praised the project for Baro’s jazzy production and his laidback flow.
In 2015, Baro toured throughout Australia and released an EP titled 17/18. The teenage rapper told Happy Mag that the project isn’t about growing up, but rather “a non linear story book which all ties together in mine and my friends [sic] heads.”
Although his musical output was relatively quiet in 2016, Baro still furthered his craft by dropping demos on SoundCloud and Tumblr. He also toured alongside fellow Melbourne artist REMI and played the Australian festival circuit.
May 2017 saw the release of his next EP, Just Problems You Need To Know.

BIJOU
BIJOU, has not only set a new standard; he is the new standard. As a distinguished leader in the g-house movement, this DJ/producer has consistently proven he has what it takes to thrive in the scene, even despite the hardships the industry faces today.
BIJOU, real name Ben Dorman, has gained all the necessary street cred and then some, starting with his show-stopping collaboration with Dr. Fresch, “Hello,” in 2016. Cue six career-defining years, a hot streak of successful singles (i.e. “Crown” feat. Tyler Graves, “Floetry” feat. Ro Ransom) and EPs (i.e. ‘Gangsta Party,’ ‘Super Phat’), four headlining US tours, and the launch of his own label, Do Not Duplicate Records (DND RECS) — and BIJOU has taken over to no shock.
Riding the momentum of his massive ‘Crown Tour,’ BIJOU continued writing and refining material that would become his debut album, ‘Diamond City.’ With this new release, BIJOU puts Phoenix on the map and carries the city on his back with his distinct hybrid fusion of bass house, tech house and closely related genres. Featuring standout collaborations, “Benjamins” feat. Wifisfuneral, “FTP” feat. Denzel Curry, “Baller” feat. Cuban Doll, and “WHOA” feat. Party Favor, this instant classic album has reiterated BIJOU’s indispensable presence in the scene and will stay well rinsed for years to come.
Reflecting on BIJOU’s career thus far, much can be attributed to his strong work ethic and endless nights spent in the studio. By infusing timeless styles of hip hop and classic house, BIJOU stays satisfying the current house craving with productions live enough for the underground, but mean enough to hold down any main stage.

When San Diego-native rapper Ktlyn first performed in front of a live audience, it was at the Peppermint Club in LA—a venue that holds 250 people. The second time, 9,000 fans sang every word of her verse back to her at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta.
She names Eminem, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne as early influences, helping her fall in love with the genre as she dove into the intricacies of hip hop.
Ktlyn has managed her way towards record deals, a platinum single, touring, and getting her music featured in TV commercials. Before stadiums in Atlanta and millions of adoring fans, though, Ktlyn was just another aspiring artist getting lost in the crowd.

Marcos G
When marcos finally decided to make the leap into making his own music, he had to create his own sound. To do that, he leaned on his Floridian roots. In his hometown, he was surrounded by Bachata and Salsa. Still, he had to find a way for his own love for new hip-hop sounds and classic R&B to come through. You can hear the way he's chosen to amplify hip-hop beats and weave together rhythmically Latin-leaning themes in songs like "stay" and "Dancefloor."

Wild Party
In the bowels of the Southgate House, amidst the fog of Newport, Kentucky, there emerged a sonic tempest that could rattle the bones of the dead. Wild Party, a troupe of misfit minstrels hailing from the dusty plains of San Antonio, stormed the stage with all the fervor of a band possessed.
The Lead singer, a gaunt apparition reminiscent of a young David Byrne, clad in blue-striped shirt workman pants and a belt cinched tight, commanded the stage with a presence redolent of the Smiths. His voice, a melodic howl soaring above the cacophony, declared war on the mundane, promising to melt faces and souls alike with their emotive intensity.
Beside him stood a cadre of musical warriors, each wielding their instruments like weapons of mass seduction. Cary, the drummer, unleashed thunderous salvos from behind his darkened glasses, his solos igniting the crowd into a frenzy. Bassist Ethan Kaufman, doubled on Strat , laid down a groove so deep it threatened to swallow the audience whole.
But it was Lincoln Kreifels, with his Nero haircut and Weezer-esque vocals, who stole the show, his emotional wailing weaving seamlessly with the band's driving rhythms. And let us not forget Lucas Hughes, the silent assassin on lead guitar, his faux vinyl siding styled Fender Telecaster channeling the spirits of rock gods past with each chord.
As the night wore on, Wild Party's sonic assault showed no signs of abating. They traversed the landscape of alt-pop, their melodies and harmonies intertwining like lovers in the throes of passion. And we, the old guard, mere spectators in a sea of youthful exuberance, could only stand in awe, disguised in black and lurking in the shadows, as the music washed over us like a tidal wave of sound.
For Wild Party, the journey is far from over. With a Spotify audience swelling to over 350,000 and a new album on the horizon, they are poised to conquer the nation, one small venue at a time. And as we stumble out into the cold Kentucky night, ears ringing and hearts pounding, we can only wonder what other wild parties lie in wait on the horizon
