Brut Beat is a Charlotte-based jazz collective that blends Afrobeat, punk, bebop, and old-school hip-hop sounds. The group consists of Robert Childers (drums, vocals), Korey Dudley (bass), and Tony McCullough (saxophone).

Fronted by Jordan Hoban, the avant-folk group JPH (which stands for Jesus is the Path to Heaven) takes on peace of mind as a mantra in their art, crafting naturalistic melodies for listeners to gravitate into as a sort of meditation. JPH’s debut album, A Holy Hour, is a project that leans on the peculiar nature of its two near half-hour tracks. Each uses a central sonic layer that over the course slowly changes, making them artistic experiences as much as songs.
