ASADI & XYE

ASADI is a Persian American electronic music producer and performance artist from Columbus, Ohio. Also known for his rare Middle Eastern influence and impressive performance ability, his instruments play a strong role in illustrating such emotion. They include the Persian Setar, Persian Tar, Persian Daf, and Italian Mandolin. He brings these delicate sounds to life when performed with his drum machine, in which he effortlessly triggers his entire rhythm section completely live on 16 electronic pads.

Socha

Socha holds space for the most grotesque and pitiful parts of the self through music, dance, and drawings. She pairs whimsical production with brooding stream-of-conscious vocals to create a world where it's safe to express even the most embarrassing emotions. Her new EP, SIMP, takes inspiration from FKA Twigs, Adventure Time, and Jockstrap, and explores the inevitable cycle of descending into entropy, reforming, and descending again.
