  • Hangaëlle, a fiery Toronto DJ who opened for Erykah Badu and played the legendary Boiler Room series
  • The Robot Orchestra by Danny Shaddick, an array of acoustic instruments—all played by machines
  • Sudeep K, a true mix master who’s opened for everyone from the Chemical Brothers to MGMT
  • Nat Beja Trio, a pint-sized ensemble playing golden-era jazz and Latin songs inspired by Nat Beja’s childhood in Mexico
  • Beny Esguerra and New Tradition Music, fusing beatboxing, turntablism, Bronx-style 70s salsa, and more! They make socially conscious songs to bop to
  • Fresh Water Pipeline, a video installation about the absurdity of a market-based solution to climate change
