Paperwater: Paperwater is the byproduct of two talented aspiring artists with a shared passion. Comprised of longtime friends and fellow producers Eddy Samy and Daygee Kwia, the outfit has a history steeped in music. Their combined skills of production and performance have made them a force to be reckoned with in the musical community. After releasing their first single in 2017 they began playing shows shortly after with acts such as Snakehips and Sango. Their most notable performances include opening for Flying Lotus, Mura Masa, Sohn, Lido, Virgil Abloh, with festival slots at Middlelands, III Points, and EDC. Over time, the duo’s production gradually developed into what can best be described as a mix of electronic and Hip Hop, with hints of indie. Think of old Kanye mixed with Blood Orange. To Eddy and Daygee, music does not belong in a box, neatly labeled and filed away under the appropriate genre.

Hoosh: Originally from Sudan but hovering in between the Middle East and the U.S., Hoosh has absorbed a variety of cultural influences over time cultivating his unique musical output. Hoosh blends Hip Hop, R&B and Soul seamlessly with acoustic elements to create cohesive projects that clearly convey his message. His sound consists of smooth underlying beats infused with hard-hitting 808s and silky rhythms. Hoosh’s rasping authentic sound captivates listeners with each melody, setting him aside from the rest.
