Jaewar & Vibe Riot and Waasi & The Pocket Presence

Jaewar & Vibe Riot 

Vibe Riot is an East Coast indie band founded in 2013 by front man Jaewar. If you fused funky groovy kaleidoscope attitudes, charisma, and retro-sonic aesthetics with heavy drum and bass, percussion, and jazzy guitar licks, you just might recreate something like Vibe Riot. In addition to the sultry sounds that invite listeners to dance and unwind, Jaewar’s lyrics contain unifying messages. In an environment that encourages frustration, Vibe Riot enthusiastically calls for positive change while exchanging smiles and lightness with a diverse team of live performers and equally diverse audience. 

Waasi

Waasi is a Hip-Hop artist from Charlottesville, VA whose unique brand of rap music features melodic-vibes combined with in-your-face bluntness, has become a staple in the DMV do-it-yourself sphere. Seemingly always performing and growing, Waasi is only in his early 20’s, which can come as a surprise when attending one of his shows, given the professionalism rooted in his stage presence. Already having released three albums, 2018’s “BETTERDAZE”, ’19’s “From Virginia With Love”, and '21's "No Love Lost" Waasi has proven that he knows how to create conceptually-based music while still being able to experiment with different styles, as his songs dive into realms including: bouncy electro, chopped-up soul, atmospheric, and trap; yet still function cohesively.
