Sled Island presents: MAUVEY, sydanie and SuKha Never Dies

 

MAUVEY

MAUVEY’s explosive style of pop is influenced by Afro-fusion, fashion, cinema and unabashed love. In the last year, he performed at Glastonbury, released the second entry in his three-mixtape trilogy and played SXSW. Don’t worry if you’ve seen him before — he’s bringing a new version of his live show to Sled this year.

sydanie

Jamaican-Trinidadian rapper Sydanie rhythmically slips between an array of electronic production styles that don’t really belong to any set genre of rap. Vocally, she can go from deadpan to braggadocious to sensual — all within one song. Start with “Bubble 4 a Winna” and look forward to a new album coming this year.

SuKha Never Dies

Influenced by both Bollywood and heavy metal, SuKha Never Dies smashes any barrier that dares to hold her back with her experimental flavour of R&B and trap. Filmed in Cape Town, the 2023 video for the single “Goddess” is a fitting entry point to SuKha’s stylish world of fiery visuals and powerful performance.
