With the new year, World Cafe Live is bringing a new feature into their programming calendar: the seasonal Mixtape residency, where the venue is asking some of its favorite Philadelphia artists to turn us on to their favorite artists. Imagine the music you’d discover from a friend on a dubbed cassette / burned CD / personalized playlist — that’s the vibe here.

Starting off the series is singer-songwriter / producer / dancer Kingsley Ibeneche, who is booking every Wednesday in January with a variety of emcees, singer-songwriters, producers and beyond, including Key faves Khemist on January 5th, a terrific double-header of Ivy Sole and Jasmine Cassell on January 12th, Cheeky collaborator Blu3 W3rd on January 19th, and more.

The full lineup can be found at the flyer below, along with some music from the performers. Tickets for all four shows are on sale now, more information can be found at the XPN Concert Calendar.
