Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir

 

The Virtual Choir is a global phenomenon, creating a user-generated choir that brings together singers from around the world and their love of music in a new way through the use of technology. Singers record and upload their videos from locations all over the world. Each one of the videos is then synchronised and combined into one single performance to create the Virtual Choir.

The Company Soundsystem

The Company Soundsystem emerged from Brooklyn's underground house scene and has made a name for himself with incendiary live sets and genre-crossing original tracks. With releases on labels LTHM (San Francisco) and 3 Bridge Records (NYC) The Company Soundsystem is part of the ILL Behavior party collective and also throws the event series Company Policy.

Chika

It may be hard for some to understand how the poetic musings of a 23-year-old, Alabama-born up-and-coming rapper could have the potential to change the world. But those people have likely never listened to Chika's songs, where the rapper blends technical skill and purposeful songwriting in a way that transcends any perceptions of "experience." -- How Chika Refused to Play 'Industry Games' & Charted a Self-Made Path to Success

Georgia

"Georgia is a Londoner, Producer and club-informed forward thinker. Her 2020 album Seeking Thrills is a record that blossoms into life, animated by Chicago House piano lines, vintage drum machines, and Georgia's bespoke street sass."
