Th New York native has been embroiled in the music industry all her life, teaching herself how to play the drums at the age of 12 by watching YouTube videos, before going on to learn how to DJ on vinyl and take production lessons at Dubspot. Now, she’s primed to put all of her considerable skills together to take the next step in her career and truly cement herself as the next, big women DJ in dance music. Reiff has just unveiled a short minimix ahead of her Terminal 5 debut, and it’s nothing short of phenomenal.

Larry June has been able to gain some good traction within the rapping community, as seen through his previous projects with noted producers like TM88 and Sledgren to name a few.

Pretty upset how long this one has been sitting in my inbox, I have been slacking lately. Making his FNT debut with Cocaine Cinderella is Jute$. The Toronto based Jute$ has an extremely unique sound that really connected with me. Despite being mostly a hip hop/ pop/ alternative listener in 2016, back in the day I grew up on a lot of alternative rock/emo/scream music. Jute$ brought back all the feels with Cocaine Cinderella as it reminded me of an eclectic blend of Blackbear, Mod Sun and some of my favorite alternative bands from way way wayyyyy back.
