GoldLink most recently released his debut studio album At What Cost. This ambitious and funky album features artists Kaytranada, Brent Faiyaz, Wale, and many more.

With their upbeat, synth-pop tracks, courtship. is sure to please fans of bands MGMT and STRFKR.

Pham, born Dawid Phan Ngoc, is a DJ, artist, and producer from Poland. His first EP, Movements, came out in 2016, and featured hip-hop artists Yung Fusion and Lox Chatterbox. Pham’s most popular single, also entitled “Movements,” has now reached over 25 million listens on Spotify. His newest EP Ugly is a five-track collaboration with singer Austin Paul. With its smooth electric guitar and mysterious baseline beats, “Ugly” has a slower hip-hop vibe. Pham then continued on tour with Louis the Child and Vanic, two music acts that have contributed much to the growing future-bass genre.
