Osyris was involved in festivals like Lightning at a Bottle, SXSW, The Untz Festival, EDC Las Vegas, Vibey Desert, B-Side festival Doomtown, and she opened for Subtronics at Academy LA. She will also get to close out the year at Countdown NYE. As she prepares for 2024, Osyris teased wrapping up a potential EP for next year through her socials.

From down under, this dazzling producer brings all the radiant energy to the dancefloor: Darby. The journey of this ascending artist grew a lot in the last year–immediately passing through onto our radar as time passed. His achievements this year include releasing his stellar remix of Skrillex & Bobby Raps’ track, “Leave Me Like This,” which grabbed critical attention from renowned artists and became a homestead in some artists’ sets. He also gained label recognition from bitbird (with his EP CRUSH), Monstercat (with his collaboration with Slippy), and Deadbeats (with an official remix through IMANU). Naturally, it’s just a steady rise for the artist that continues to show the industry what he has to offer. This is the moment to have Darby on your radar in order to witness what he’s cooking up for 2024!
Poni

Entering next on our radar for our Hawk Eye Watch List for 2024 comes our friendly “Neigh-Bourhood” artist, Poni! This resilient artist had a multitude of releases that bring out the darkest personas of all of us. She officially released a remix on Welcome Records with Kayzo, as well as a remix of KILLBOY’s track, “Shadows.” She also produced a couple of great unofficial remixes, like that of Skrillex, Swae Lee & Siiickbrain track, “Too Bizarre,” in tandem with Vanic. This year became the year Poni honed in on her project in order to prepare for what is about to come… which means that 2024 will become the ‘Year of Poni’! She has already teased a debut EP and the debut Poni show, with more in store ready to be unveiled, which is why everyone should brace themselves for what Poni is going to unleash!

Emerging from dark sonic vibrations and deep lyricism comes the artist Mantra Sounds! This year became a massive year for her. Mantra Sounds had the opportunity to tag along to tour stops with Josh Teed earlier in the year, opening alongside artists like Maddy O’Neal, Khiva, and PHLO. However, it didn’t stop there for her as she also got the life-changing opportunity with The Gradient Perspective crew to do after-parties for the Pretty Lights tour as well as a curated event at the legendary Caverns. Mantra Sounds was a force to be reckoned with this year, with 2023 being a monumental time for her. With a ton already in the books, our Hawk Eye is truly watching whatever is next for Mantra Sounds.
