Really impressed with the slow burn hip hop that A$AP Twelvyy is pushing on “Diamonds,” which also features a guest spot from A$AP Rocky. Fans of good old fashioned jangly rock ‘n roll will find plenty to love about “Rainbow Ridge”, the latest from The Cribs. Smart synth-pop artists know it’s always a good idea to ask Shamir to contribute vocals to a track, which is why House of Feelings’ “Falling” stands out. Something about the ramshackle charm of Swimm’s “Speak Politely” just draws you in the further it goes along, until it’s finally stuck in your head with no discernable way out. Delightful. Other artists in this set include 16yrold (ft. Desiigner & Ski Mask The Slump God), Blank Space, Gramatik & Galactic Marvl, Har Mar Superstar, Lina Tullgren, Oliver Tree (ft. Robot Koch), Saro, and Sam Valdez.

They put their brand and reputation on the line to celebrate great and innovative artists across backgrounds and genres. If you’re unaware or ignorant of the festival, perhaps a glance at
