Detroit producer Apollo Brown has redefined boom-bap in the 21st century, blending hard-hitting drums with soulful, melancholic melodies. Originally from Grand Rapids, he built his name in Detroit’s hip-hop scene, collaborating with artists like Joell Ortiz, Skyzoo, and Ras Kass while crafting beats rooted in tradition yet fresh in ex*****on. Signed to Mello Music Group, his work stays true to the gritty, emotive sound of legends like J Dilla and Pete Rock, proving that his music speaks for itself—just press play.
Marco Polo is a Toronto-born producer known for blending 90s boom-bap with modern sounds. After moving to NYC in 2001 and working as an engineer at The Cutting Room, he built a reputation producing for legends like Rakim, Westside Gunn, and Masta Ace. His critically acclaimed debut Port Authority (2007) cemented his status, and he continues to expand his career with global tours, licensing deals, and an upcoming project with Masta Ace in 2025.
Wilczynski is a key figure in the international lofi hip-hop scene, known for blending jazz and soul into his laid-back beats. With over ten vinyl releases, he also runs iruka.records, supporting emerging talent, and gained global recognition through the Beats with Brothers series. His live performances, including at Tapefabrik Festival, make him a standout artist in the genre.
