Trap/Twerk

Over the past 2 years, Sydney, Australia-based producer Heimanu has intricately crafted a niche sound of future bass-infused trap for himself with a heavy emphasis on meticulous sound design. With remixes for What So Not‘s ‘Beautiful‘ with Winona Oak, and ‘I’ll Wait‘ by Enschway & sumthin sumthin, he has more than demonstrated his ability to work with a track and…

Winning NGHTMRE & Boombox Cartel‘s ‘Aftershock‘ remix contest in 2015 was only the beginning of a breakaway career for New York-born producer, Richie Buckley; affectionately known to his fans as Blvk Sheep. With releases on premiere labels such as Quality Goods Records, Fools Gold and Lowly Palace, Blvk Sheep is the furthest thing from a stranger to the heavy trap…

Eptic’s ‘The End‘ has solidified itself as a staple piece for live sets and festivals. With an arsenal of remixes by the likes of Carnage & Breaux, CRANKDAT, and YOOKiE, the tune has remained an iconic drop ever since its debut on Never Say Die Records nearly 4 years ago. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to experience any version of…

Dabow and Thook are two of the best producers out right now. For many, myself included, seeing them come together is a dream come true. A collab sure to set expectations at peak heights, but considering both of their track records it’s no surprise that they deliver. ‘Cliff Jump’ balances a state of calming hypnosis with a sinister and ever-intensifying…

Australian-born duo SLUMBERJACK and Vancouver’s Ekali have both woven their influence into the trap and bass scene in the past 4 years. Garnering opportunities to work with talented icons such as Porter Robinson, with their riveting take of ‘Fellow Feeling’ on the coveted Worlds EP, Morgan & Fletcher have demonstrated an uncanny ability to blend the line between trap and…

New Orleans-based trap artist and Run the Trap Editor in Chief CRWNS first popped up on my radar almost 3 years ago, when a close friend introduced me to his astonishing remix of NGHTMRE’s emblematic trap banger ‘Street’, which still to this day is one of the most memorable flips of the tune that I’ve heard. Max came back with…

Last month we named Rome in Silver as one of the top artists to watch in our Focus Five segment. It seems we weren’t the only ones with our eye on the California producer. UZ’s Quality Goods Records is known for having a keen eye for talent as well and they’ve proven it yet again by scooping up Rome in…

When you title a track ‘voyage’ you present listeners with a certain level of expectation. Before even pressing play you’re imagining a journey, something transportational and engrossing. It seems newcomer nelson was well aware of this, as his debut meets and exceeds any preconceived expectations. A serene soundscape washes over you after you hit play, as drums are layered in,…

TeamSupreme co-founder Great Dane has been nothing short of unstoppable since he began the project way back in 2013. After teasing a couple of singles in the last few weeks, July 20th saw the release of his long-awaited fourth studio album titled Gamma Ray. A follow-up to his previous works Alpha Dog, Beta Cat and Great Dane, this newest project…

Adiidas has been making my brain melt since the first time I heard ‘Same’. His style perfectly blends dark and dirty experimental bass with a trap backbone. The result is boundary pushing music that still packs a steady knock. This ability is on full display with his debut EP My Cat. Setting things of with ‘G’ Ft. Georgia P. Adiidas wastes…
