Sidestage Radio Vol. 11 ft. Persephone

Persephone took form in November 2020 after mixing for close to three years in her living room. Marley, aka Persephone, has been deeply rooted in the dubstep community for over a decade, having worked with multiple production companies handling artist relations/artist liaison duties and currently working for Columbus powerhouse {NULL}. 

As a prominent female force in the scene, she took a 4 year journey in Arizona that greatly improved her love, passion, and skill for the genre she has fully immersed herself in, and brought forth a fully solidified appreciation for the Midwest and east coast dubstep culture. You’ll get hints of old school hip hop, uk grime and drill, and heavy, guttural 140 dubstep tones in her sets. Having shared the stage with the likes of Coki, Hebbe, Hijinx, Commodo, and Hypho to name a few, Persephone’s sound is sure to bump the dust off your soundsystem.

Sidestage Radio Vol. 20 ft. Suburban Poor

A dynamic duo whose musical journey began long before they even knew what a studio was. Hailing from the same hometown and sharing a passion for beats and rhymes since they were kids, these two have become inseparable both on and off the stage.

Their story reads like a classic coming-of-age tale set to a banging soundtrack. Picture a couple of youngsters, trading mixtapes and freestyling in each other's basements, dreaming of one day seeing their names in lights. Fast forward a few years, and those dreams are becoming a reality.

With six years of collaboration under their belt, Mitchell Hubbs & Eric McGowan have honed their craft, blending their unique styles into a seamless fusion of hip-hop, R&B, and everything in between. From soulful melodies to hard-hitting bass lines, their music speaks volumes about their shared experiences, struggles, and triumphs.

But it's not just about the music for these two. It's about the connection they share, the bond that goes beyond words and transcends the boundaries of sound. Whether they're vibing in the studio or tearing up the stage, you can feel the energy between them, a testament to their years of friendship and collaboration.

With a growing fanbase and an ever-expanding repertoire, Suburban Poor are poised to take the music world by storm. So keep your ears peeled and your speakers cranked, because these two are just getting started.

Sidestage Radio Vol. 3 - Bent Spectrum

Sidestage represents music and art you would stumble upon in the dimly lit side room of a house party, or tucked away in the remote reaches of a festival far from the main stage.  

Our goal as a collective of dreamers and builders is to foster a forward-thinking, open, and progressive community by creating a visible platform for experimental artists, inspiring local creatives to share their ideas, and encouraging all to express themselves through a shared outlet. 

We believe in giving back to the communities we belong to and regularly partner with local non-profits and believe in the power of organic growth and small, but persistent change.

If you haven’t yet seen or heard what Sidestage is about, we hope you will consider joining us at one of our future events.
