Shormey

Shormey is the recording project of Virginia native Shormey Adumuah.

She frequently draws inspiration from the sonic influences of 70’s disco, soul, and psychedelic music. It’s all exemplified in The Boogie Tape Vol. 1.

Staying true to the relaxed and carefree vibes of the tape, Shormey recorded the entire project within the confines of her bedroom. This tape is a testament to her desire to create music that doesn’t put any pressure on the listener to feel any one particular feeling, but to just enjoy it as an upbeat experience.

1Alkebulan

1Alkebulan, FKA Alem Worldwide, is an interdisciplinary musician from Washington, D.C. Hailing from Ethiopia by way of Nîmes, France, 1Alkebulan’s eclectic vision spans many mediums, primarily through beat production and vocal performance. Reminiscent of late century collage, 1Alkebulan’s sampling style contextualizes their modality without the pontification many attribute to experimentalism. Their first album ‘Sun RZA’ (2023) delves into the grieving process as it relates to the first-generation African immigrant. 1Alkebulan has been featured in Vogue, Afropunk, Pitchfork, The Cut & Noisey for their whimsical approach to streetwear. They brought soup to the cold, ice cream to the warm, all around they’re pretty neat.
