Artists:

Zaki Ibrahim

Described as “a retro-Afrofuturist vision sending listeners on a journey through 40 years of electronic music” (Nuvo), Ibrahim’s music brings elements of spoken word, hip hop, soul, house and 70s pop together, filtered through the prismatic and often contradictory lenses of personal, historical and scientific relativities. Even the concept of diaspora seems to fall short of capturing the vivid vibrational multitudes of Ibrahim’s scope.

The Five and Tens

The Five and Tens are the official studio band for the Mississauga indie record label VR Recordings formed in 2015. Inspired by labels like Motown, Stax, Daptone and Colemine Records they embody the same DIY spirit and work ethos crafting soul and funk records. Known for their live performances and playing live funk break sets for breakdance battles to smooth laid back intimate sets around the Toronto circuit

Carla Casanova

Vivek Mehmi

Vivek utilizes musical expression as a way of healing. When faced with a life changing ailment, he was forced to examine the darkest and most challenging parts of life and transmute them with his art.
