Wait What creates experimental art, pairing indie rock samples with familiar hip-hop vocals to create pieces that both make you think when you've got headphones on and make you move when you hear them live. He fused the debut record of British indie rock group The xx with vocals from The Notorious B.I.G., and created the notorious xx, which quickly garnered critical acclaim from New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and The Guardian UK, who dubbed it "the best mashup album of 2010" - not to mention receiving over one million downloads.

Brooklyn-based Pepi Ginsberg began putting her poems to songs while living in Philadelphia where she moved to study writing at Penn. Nine months into her songwriting journey, Pepi, with local friends, made the limited-press Orange Juice: Stephanie/Stephanie (2006), her first recording, which taps into raw, experimental folk. The next year, Pepi arranged and recorded Sometime Momma/Sometime Babe(2007), solo with her acoustic, in her bathtub. "It added reverb to the vocals," she explains, matter-of-fact. A few months later she crossed paths and formed a partnership with Dr.Dog frontman Scott McMicken. Her first "studio" album, 2008's acclaimed, RED (Park The Van), explores vintage psych-rock and folk and is the first album to show her live potential with a full band. Pepi followed up that release with a more experimental, fuller sound on East is East and was lucky enough to spend 2010 touring the country.
