//Kohinoorgasm// is the lo-fi experimental pop music project of queer, mixed, desi artist Josephine Shetty.

She has performed at festivals, universities, museums, music venues, and art spaces across the US and Europe. Josephine is born and based in Los Angeles, CA.

//Diaspoura// is a downtempo electronic producer and new media artist from a highway hotel in rural South Carolina. Their first release Demonstrations was an experimental DIY project documenting lived experience as a queer femme of color buried in the poor Deep South. Their released the emotionally charged track “GTF” (get the fuck) on Tr*mp’s inauguration, and their newest two-track release “Traumaporn” is a developed study of sounds encompassing both power and vulnerability using iconic rigid beats, bells, and dense harmonies. Their latest video released on NYLON “explains what it means to be a real ally” through the lens of a poor brown and gay Southerner.
