Sunday belongs to Gorillaz, Arca and Yung Lean, then underscores, Duquesa, Smerz, ATARASHII GAKKO!, Ecco2k, Gaby Amarantos and Ebony. Further down sit Black Pantera, Johnny Hooker, Josyara, Julia Mestre, DJ Ramon Sucesso and more.

Wrote the meanest, funniest pop of the late 2000s in a plain London accent, then came back with a divorce record that gives away more than most artists ever would.
The band that rebooted New York rock — a deep catalog of deadpan cool, still untouchable live when the engine catches.
Venezuelan producer and singer who bends reggaeton, opera and noise into one deformed, gorgeous shape. Björk and Kanye West have both borrowed her sound design.
Damon Albarn's animated universe — a genre-omnivorous hits machine and guest-star carousel, two decades of cartoon cover for some of pop's best songwriting.
The Swedish teenager who invented a whole sad corner of the internet, grown into a genuine and stranger songwriter.
The model-actress behind the decks — a party-starting celebrity DJ set built on crowd-pleasers rather than crate-digging.
Irish country-pop with a wicked sense of humor and a bigger voice — a riotous live show that swings from comedy to gut-punch inside one chorus.
Deadpan Melbourne songwriting full of tiny observed details, over guitar that gets a lot noisier live — slacker delivery hiding a genuinely ferocious player.
PC Music's dance-floor half, making trance and happy hardcore sound sincere rather than ironic.
Brooklyn's OMD-hearted synth-pop romantics — motorik melancholy that soars live, analog synths and total sincerity, romance for drum machines and the people who love them.
Rio singer from Bala Desejo whose solo records pare MPB back to a high, unhurried voice and a guitar.
Four Tokyo performers in school uniforms doing chaotic, precisely choreographed pop that refuses to sit still — equal parts idol group, dance troupe, and controlled demolition.
Duquesa
Brazilian rapper working trap and drill with sharp bars and a melodic streak, one of the newer voices in the country's rap.
Ebony
Brazilian rapper delivering pointed, self-assured verses that move between hard-hitting trap beats and smoother R&B-leaning hooks.
Drain Gang's most ethereal voice, processed so heavily that the processing becomes the instrument.
Belém's tecnobrega star, singing over Pará's sound-system rhythms with a diva's range and a party host's timing.
Norwegian duo's icy avant-pop — classical strings meet club unease, beauty kept deliberately off-balance, fashion-week cool with conservatory bones.
Bay Area hyperpop auteur — glitchy, hooky, scene-defining, 'Wallsocket' worldbuilding included, internet-native songwriting at its sharpest.
Brazilian hardcore-metal trio from Minas Gerais — riffs and anti-racist fury in equal measure.
Gab Ferreira
Brazilian singer-songwriter making hazy, English-language indie pop, with soft vocals floating over reverb-washed guitars and synths.
Barcelona producer behind the Hivern Discs label and the 2012 album fIN: deep house that leans tropical and melancholy at once.
Recife singer who stages brega and MPB heartbreak as glam-rock theatre, all sequins and torch-song belting.
Josyara
Bahian singer and guitarist who plays like a percussionist, writing MPB about the distance between the Northeast and São Paulo.
LARINHX
Los Thuthanaka
Philly band swinging between shoegaze tenderness and full-throated hardcore, often inside one song — catharsis with total dynamic control.

Metrika
Sweat-slicked industrial post-punk — menace, glamour, and whispered filth, a frontman who prowls the crowd like it's his living room.
Miami producer bending dembow and Latin club rhythms into something genuinely futuristic — regional heat engineered for the global underground.
Rio's disco-funk polymath — boogie basslines, tropical glam, and a crate-digger's command of Brazilian pop history reassembled into something completely current.
Carlos do Complexo
Brazilian funk DJ whose sets cram TikTok sounds, pirate-radio samples and pop hits into blends so fast that dancing is the only answer left.
A television comedian turned experimentalist, looping voice and guitar into something that keeps folding in on itself.
Rio singer, also of Bala Desejo, whose solo songs pair tropicália warmth with glossy, nostalgic late-night pop.
Breakcore-punk duo whose live shows are closer to a hardcore gig than a DJ set — stage dives at 200 BPM.

Melly
Singer-songwriter from Salvador, Bahia, folding rap cadences into soft, intimate R&B sung in Portuguese.
Paulete Lindacelva
São Paulo DJ drawing on the city's club underground, folding Brazilian rhythms into fast, percussive sets built for the dancefloor.
Vancouver-raised producer and singer with a full, low alto, writing post-genre songs that swing between club beats and electric-guitar confessionals.
Nate Amos writing straightforwardly beautiful songs after years of deliberately difficult ones — Water From Your Eyes' other half, unmasked.
