Phyphr + 5AM Trio with McWavy

Phyphr is creating his own sound that lies between Soul Bass, Delta Blues and Upside-Down Gospel. Merging live guitar with talk box and big bass drops, Phyphr is defining a brand new sound that you won’t find anywhere else. This sonic fingerprint has led him to perform alongside artists like Manic Focus, The Floozies, Daily Bread and SunSquabi, to name a few.

Hailing from North Carolina, Phyphr’s unforgettable performances have graced festivals including Hulaween, Gem & Jam, Summer Camp and Cascade Equinox. Phyphr's fast-track growth has been recognized by 303 Magazine, River Beats Dance, Electric Hawk, ThisSongIsSick, EDMTunes, and many others.

In 2024, Phyphr amassed 1.3M Streams, 155k Listeners, and 200% growth on Spotify alone. With his streaming stats increasing rapidly, Phyphr is at the forefront of the newest generation of soul.

His upcoming Sophomore LP titled, “Crossroads” explores themes of darkness, light, and rebirth. 10 songs tell the story of a location between worlds. What would you sacrifice to achieve your wildest dreams? Would you make a deal with the Devil himself?

Pulling threads from dance music, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and beyond, 5AM Trio blurs the lines between electronic production and live instrumental improvisation. What began as producer/keyboardist 5AM’s vision to merge high-fidelity electronic sound design with the spontaneity of a band has evolved into a powerhouse ensemble featuring the dextrous drumming of Aaron Harel (ZONE Drums) and the guitar wizardry of Keith Wadsworth (Wax Future). Their shows hit with club-level sonic precision while delivering the fire and interplay of a full-on jam session.

The Trio’s genre-defying sets have lit up major stages from Red Rocks to Sonic Bloom, Elements, Summerdance, Resonate, and Secret Dreams, sharing bills with innovators like Papadosio, CloZee, Opiuo, Lab Group, Break Science, Lotus, and Tiedye Ky. But beyond the festivals and flashing lights, 5AM Trio thrives on human connection. They celebrate community—shouting out connection and sobriety,, donating a portion of every shows’ revenue to tree-planting efforts, and encouraging audiences to create their own art in any form.

In a scene where they don’t fit a single box—“a jazz band at the dubstep function,” as they like to say—5AM Trio embraces their role as a vibrant, non-native bloom in the electronic garden: always growing, always experimenting, always chasing the moment when music turns into something bigger than sound.
