Dorian Electra

Rising pop star Dorian Electra (pronouns: they/them/theirs) makes music that defies gender norms. In the past year, their work has gained a queer cult following and a rapidly growing global fanbase, as well as critical praise from Pitchfork , Billboard , Paper Magazine , The Fader , Gay Times , The Guardian , and more. Each one of Electra’s high-concept singles (” Career Boy ,” ” Man To Man ,” “ Flamboyant ,” “ Daddy Like ,” and most recently, “Adam & Steve” ) has been accompanied by a hyper-stylized music video. Videos like “Flamboyant” have garnered more than one million views, and help build a bigger world around each song than the music alone. Electra has collaborated and toured with pop visionary Charli XCX and Russian group Pussy Riot as well as played major pride festivals across the US. In 2019, Dorian Electra released their debut full-length album “Flamboyant” , an unapologetically over-the top work of experimental pop with a heavy-metal, baroque twist, supported by their first-ever sold out headlining tour.

Umru

New York based 20-year-old producer umru appeared almost out of nowhere in the pop music world with his first production credit on Charli XCX’s landmark 2017 mixtape ‘Pop 2’, being recruited at 18 by PC Music founder A. G. Cook to co-produce one of the mixtape’s highlight tracks, ‘I Got It’. The release quickly brought umru from a high school and the Soundcloud beat scene to DJ sets at Charli XCX’s tour afterparties across the US and Europe and collaborations with some of pop music’s most experimental and forward-thinking acts. The release of his debut EP ‘search result’ on PC Music revealed his ability to merge his intense, bass-heavy production with both catchy and melancholy performances from a talented lineup of underground pop vocalists including Banoffee and Lewis Grant. The EP was followed by three sold out ‘search party’ events across the US. umru’s music has been heard on BBC Radio 1 and Beats 1 Radio and featured on Billboard, Paper Magazine and Hypebeast, his style being described as “boundary-pushing” and “insanely addictive.”
