Ladybug Mecca and Xenia Rubinos

Ladybug Mecca is best known for her role in the group Digable Planets. She released her solo album Trip The Light Fantastic in 2005, and teamed up with Prince Paul, Gorila Urbano and Don Newkirk ten years later to form Brookzill, releasing Throwback to the Future in 2016.

Visionary singer and music maker Xenia Rubinos dips in and out of genre and structure to create movingly powerful songs with her O.G. signature sound. Xenia’s powerhouse vocals are at the center of her music which grows from a wide range of influences from R&B to Hip-Hop to jazz all delivered with a soulful punk aura. Pitchfork lauded the radiant singer as “a unique new pop personality” while a profile in The New Yorker described her work as “rhythmically fierce, vocally generous music that slips through the net of any known genre.” Her record, Black Terry Cat, is out now.
