Meet September’s Artists and DJs to Watch

If you follow us on Instagram and Twitter, you’re hopefully already acquainted with our September Artists and DJs to Watch. If not, then don’t worry; this is your chance to catch up and learn even more about them now.

This month’s class boasts: an orchestral composer who spins at the legendary Berlin club Berghain, an Xbox “2K legend” who hangs out with his hero Mos Def, and a rapper who wants his fans to text him directly. Needless to say, their music isn’t the only thing that makes these creators ones to watch.
