    Rising screamo queen Lil Mariko makes hardcore meme music that gleefully mashes sonic elements of metal, trap, pop, and techno with the Tik-Tok universe. Following a few viral bangers with producer Full Tac and rapper Rico Nasty, she’s looking forward to spewing more »vomit-inducing, cringe-worthy music« at CTM, to pierce her fan’s ear holes and damage their hearing with her terrifying screams.

    Deep, brooding, and broad, the dreamy lyricism of Iceboy Violet channels the energy, emotionality, and resistance of grime. Their 2022 EP saw the MC and producer release collaborations with an impressive cross-section of contemporaries from Space Afrika and Jennifer Walton to Slikback and aya under her LOFT moniker.

    With a penchant for rap, R&B, and regional bass-heavy styles, Xzavier Stone teasingly offers a lush and off-kilter sensuality all lacquered with the shiniest production imaginable.
