Minnesota with Abelation, Don Jamal, Pink Lemonade
The man named after the land with 10,000 lakes has been a force on the bass scene for nearly a decade. Although he’s made a name for himself in the electronic music space, Minnesota’s (aka Christian Bauhofer) musical journey started with heavy doses of classic rock, emo and screamo. He was heavily influenced by the psychedelic style of rock legends including Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and cites them as inspiration for what would become his own sound. “The songs were journeys and I really like the epicness and the trip the song took you on,” he Says. Spending most of his early life in Minnesota, It was not until Christian relocated to Santa Cruz, California in 2007 where he first discovered the underground electronic music scene via renegade parties that would be thrown in the redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains. “That community / subculture was really my main influence into the music. A lot of other artists were immersed in the Santa Cruz community like G Jones, The Glitch Mob and Eprom. Crews would bring out a generator, Dj equipment and a few lights and play music until 10AM. We were really blown away.” Christian would soon throw his own renegade parties in Santa Cruz to provide himself with a forum to DJ. “I wanted to play music, but could never get booked, so I teamed up with some friends and we started to throw our own parties. I feel very lucky to have experienced this underground scene before electronic music and hit the mainstream.”

Ship Wrek with HAMI, Zimmy, ESO
Los Angeles-based duo Ship Wrek, composed of Tripp Churchill and Collin Maguire, came together in 2019 and have become one of the most buzz-worthy production teams and performers in electronic music. With their unique sound and high energy DJ sets, the duo have caught the attention of fans, press, and industry heavyweights alike. Ship Wrek have gained support from artists such as Skrillex, Dillon Francis, Diplo, Jauz, DJ Snake, Chris Lake, Zedd, and Tiesto, all of which have played out their edits and music or collaborated with the duo. Their current single “Help” with producer/writer, John Ryan follows their collaboration with The Chainsmokers “The Fall”.
Champagne Drip with Skinny Limbs, Balek
Champagne Drip, the musical incarnation of Los Angeles-based producer Samuel Pool, was born from the philosophy that innovation springs from inspiration. The statement ringing true throughout the years, Pool has proven himself to be a trailblazer within the bass music sector of electronic music. With seasoned expertise predominantly rooted in genres such as dubstep and jungle, his discography consists of countless renowned records, right alongside his multiple headline tours and appearances at some of the world's largest festivals.
Widely known for his sonic concoctions of diverse textures and rich melodies swathed in his decidedly uplifting project, Champagne Drip is set to continue skyrocketing upon a purely upwards trajectory. Consistently pulling inspiration from his own surrounding environment, his sound is an ever-evolving source that naturally inspires others in turn.

Kompany has emerged from the shadows of anonymity to present one of the more promising bass music projects of this time. Having perfected his craft in the esteemed halls of Icon Collective, Kompany is now bringing his music to a global audience.

MUST DIE! with special guest Tisoki
Acting as a rebellious force and the main antagonist of bass music, there’s no one like MUST DIE!. Between his eccentric state of mind and cutting-edge mettle in the studio, MUST DIE! caters to an audience with a penchant for forward-thinking sounds that will both challenge and dignify dubstep as we know it. With nearly 10 years under his belt, MUST DIE! began building his cult with consistent releases on bass music’s most notable labels, leading him to represent Never Say Die’s prestigious roster. Hailed as a trendsetter within electronic music, MUST DIE! reaches beyond the scope of dubstep with each release — his 2014 debut record, Death & Magic, set the precedent for his future in dance music, offering listeners a new take on genres including dubstep, electro house, drum and bass, and more. The start of 2019 established a new era of MUST DIE! with the release of his genre-bending singles “BLISS 2K” and “CHAOS.” Both singles landing at #1 on the Beatport Dubstep Top 100 and reaching over 1 million streams on Spotify, MUST DIE! sparked a new trend in bass music, introducing classic rave elements and hard dance components to his catalogue. This year, MUST DIE! has continued his trend of raising the bar within dance music as he skyrockets off the back of two huge collaborations with Eptic and Zomboy – “Skill Check” and “Last One Standing”. Separating himself from his peers through excellence in production and creativity that simply can’t be copied, MUST DIE! maintains his own lane and leads the up-and-comers to follow. The unrivalled nature of MUST DIE!’s signature sound and personal brand has taken him to audiences all over the world, headlining a number of tours through North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and more — MUST DIE! has become a global phenomenon through his personal touch in the studio and a loyal fanbase. With a devastatingly powerful discography and a brand that defies the scene, MUST DIE! remains undefeated.
HAMDI
Currently one of the most versatile and in demand producers around, Hamdi’s ability to consistently produce a wide range of styles and genres has made him one of the underground music scene’s most exciting prospects. Born in Oxford, Hamdi (real name Alexander Hamdi) has been producing electronic music for over a decade, first getting into DJing soon after his eighteenth birthday. Hamdi soon established himself as one of the most in demand young producers in the UK scene with consistent EP releases and a string of well-received free downloads on Soundcloud. By this time, he had also already earned a reputation as one of the most energetic DJs around, with many recognising Hamdi as the only DJ on the circuit to DJ and MC at the same time. Hamdi’s production, like his DJing, is gritty, high-energy and rhythmic and he is comfortable producing across the full spectrum of electronic dance music. Yet at the same time, his signature Dubstep sound design is easy to recognise, and has a power and weight to it that not many in the scene can match. Hamdi’s breakthrough came in 2017, with the release of Show Me with Sammy Virji, which took the UK Bass Scene by storm. The VIP, released 18 months later, was one of the most sought after tracks of that year, and currently sits on over a million Spotify streams. Since then, Hamdi has gone from strength to strength, building a strong brand and reputation as one of the most consistent multi-genre artists around. As 3000 Blog wrote, ‘There really aren’t many who are keeping pace with Hamdi, as he tends to fly from deck to deck, pulling the audience from left to right in a seriously thrilled multi-genre ride.’ The last couple of years have been huge for Hamdi. While he has had a substantial and loyal UK following for some years now, in the last 18 months, Hamdi’s fanbase has gone global. His edit of Sammy Virji’s Never Let You Go and his now modern classic Skanka both took the Dubstep scene by storm and opened his sound up to a whole new audience. Skanka became a mega hit in the global Dubstep community, with many in the scene calling it the track of the year. For a long time It was hard to escape Skanka in the US, and it quickly became a staple of pretty much every Dubstep set. Artists such as Skrillex, Zeds Dead, Porter Robinson, Knife Party, NGHTMRE, Slander, Subtronics, Of The Trees and countless others have consistently supported the track, leading to the track being played to crowds upwards of 30,000 people across the United States. As a result, recent demand for Hamdi has not just been exclusive to the UK. His recent six-city headline tour of India was a great success, playing to packed rooms in every city he went to. With upcoming dates across Europe, an Australian tour in the diary, and huge interest in the US, Hamdi’s global profile is growing at a rapid rate.

Later in the year his collaboration with Wax Motif on ‘Lose Control’ garnered much support as well as ‘Walk In The Spot’- a true 2019 house anthem. In 2020 Matroda released ‘Forget It’ via Insomniac Records, hitting over 10 million streams to date. Topping the list ‘Disco Tool’ longside Bleu Clair went right to the #1 spot on the Beatport tech house chart, leaving lasting impressions on the industry and dancefloors alike.
Fast forward to 2021 when he attained the 25th best producer spot on Tracklist1001’s renowned chart, following a string of Beatport #1’s and over one million monthly listeners on Spotify. A new decade opened up and Matroda’s label Terminal Underground was born, releasing the first EP from himself titled Jack The House EP. ‘La Pasion’ reached top 10 chart status on Beatport’s Tech House Chart, in line with the release of the single ‘Lifting’ with 2022 welcoming ‘Gotta Let You Go’, both on Insomniac Records.
The Matrodasound is making a solid mark on electronic music enthusiasts around the world, proving the road is only just beginning for this young producer with a promising future ahead.
