FATBOI SHARIF
Fatboi Sharif is an American avant-garde hip-hop artist whose abstract lyricism, horror-inspired imagery and experimental production have made him one of underground rap's most distinctive voices. Blending influences from MF DOOM, Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane and Rob Zombie into his own singular vision, Sharif creates immersive worlds that push the boundaries of hip-hop.
Praised by Rolling Stone, The FADER, SPIN and Complex, his explosive live shows are as intense as they are communal, transforming audiences into what he calls "MY FAMILY!" With acclaimed releases including Ape Twin and a string of fearless collaborations, Fatboi Sharif continues to carve out a genre entirely his own.
COLD LIGHT
A ragtag crew made up of Portland, Oregon's Best Available Technology, Bristol mainstays Birthmark and Withdrawn, London's the wind between (fka ELDON), Hungarian producer CSNL and South London's Rael, Cold Light extends across borders and genres, making its own distinctive mark on sound-system music.
