Fronted by Miles Arntzen of Antibalas, EMEFE has been making people dance since 2010, when the big band collective started as a horn driven, instrumental project with heavy afrobeat, funk and jazz influences. EMEFE’s beats are a cross between Fela Kuti and Prince, with vocals reminiscent of the Talking Heads’ candor and the Beach Boys’ lushness, with a unique pop sensibility.

Miami boogie supergroup Psychic Mirrors employs a mountain of synths, keyboards and drum machines in addition to the traditional bass, guitar and vocals set-up. At the center of the group is the one of a kind Mickey de Grand IV, whose love of low-slung boogie and synth-fun was on show at the 2015 edition of the Academy in Tokyo and the Red Bull stage at SONAR in Barcelona. While the adjectives irreverent, imaginative and psychedelic all apply here, the best description of their sound is by the band itself: “On some next level.”
