Shambhala Music Festival has become quite an annual staple, especially amongst some of the locals here in the Toronto bass scene. During my first year, I went solo and brought back wondrous tales of a magical faraway land, over in Salmo, British Columbia. Now having gone through my third year (in a row), I swell up inside as I watch more…

We’re grateful to oddprophet this week for joining us for our Floor Fillers feature. With his EP Precognition out now via Never Say Die, it’s undeniable that his crisp dubstep meets future style is going to keep winning fans across the globe. The young talent may well be keeping his true persona a little way out of the spotlight, but…

The Trap OG YehMe2 is back with a crazy collab with Bailo. Aptly titled ‘Spit,’ the track is built upon a classic sample from The Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘Notorious Thugs.’ The familiar vocals, are sliced and diced with expert precision. They retain an air of consistency across a wildly diverse backdrop of bass. Hard hitting trap, elements of club and some…

Godlands first appeared on our radar earlier this year with a monster of a track titled ‘Everybody Knows‘ that let the bass scene know that she was one to keep an eye on. The Australian up-and-comer has established herself as a force to be reckoned with in just a few original releases, where she continues to carve her place in…

Lektrique has some worried with his sudden move from Belgium to Los Angeles where he has been skating the streets, deck in hand, finding inspiration in one of the most iconic cities in the United States. From his wanderings, he has found not just a muse but the ingredients for his most recently conjured EP Black Magic – unsurprising for a…

A man who lives up to his name, NXSTY has been responsible for some of the hardest and filthiest tracks of the year. From ‘T E R R A’ and ‘ C O U P E’ to his latest collaboration with Badrapper ‘Catch My Vibe,’ every release is an absolute beast. With a release on Dim Mak’s New Noise, an…

Last month Russian producer Slowrize made his captivating debut with ‘Breathe.’ The track perfectly balanced futuristic feels with a heavy trap leaning. It’s not often I become an instant fan but ‘Breathe’ had me sold. Proving my fandom wasn’t premature comes an equally impressive follow-up entitled ‘Joylove’. “I was inspired by Medasin, Sam Gellaitry, Oshi, but when I wrote it…

After parting ways with Disciple Records a few months ago, many were left speculating about the future of Dubloadz‘s releases. He quickly silenced this speculation shortly after with a couple of deep dub tracks titled ‘Salt’ and ‘Pepper’, and later with heavy remixes for Dion Timmer and Gammer, reassuring fans that this departure was only the beginning of a new…

Juelz may not be the first producer you think of when asked which Vancouver-based artist is making waves in the scene, but that should definitely change. Over the last three years, the talented beat-maker has collaborated with the likes of josh pan, FALCONS, Promnite and Landyn, and has earned the respect of countless other artists. While he might not be at…
