A bass head’s dream is coming to Long Beach, California! Insomniac’s latest festival debut, Apocalypse: Zombieland, brings some of the biggest names in bass music to the haunted Queen Mary this weekend November 24 – 25. Be sure to get there early to see these four up-and-coming bass artists to kick off Insomniac’s newest festival.
Shanghai Doom
This duo comes from New Jersey and has played at festivals like WAKAAN, Home Bass, and Ubbi Dubbi. Shanghai Doom got their start in 2017 and finds their inspiration in the more sinister things in life. Their experimental, dark, and heavy music has drawn support from Excision and Liquid Stranger. They’ve released music on both WAKAAN and Cyclops Recordings. Check out some of their songs here and make sure you don’t miss them at 3 pm on the Zombieland stage: “Lightspeed,” “Coconuts,” and “Ripper.”
Point.Blank
This Belgium dubstep OG brings his hardcore bass music to the shores of Long Beach. He has been DJing and producing since 2010. His song “Riding” with Jessica Audiffred has over 600,000 streams on Spotify. With songs on Subsidia, Never Say Die, and Disciple Round Table, you know he is going to bring the bass to start your day. Don’t miss Point.Blank at 4 pm on The Lab stage and check out these tunes to get you hyped: “Wonky” and “Drop That.”
Phibes
Kick off Day 2 with this UK drum and bass artist. Phibes have been one of the top-selling D&B artists on Beatport in the past 12 months with the #1 song “Home Grown.” Their Third Dimension EP hit #1 on Beatport in October 2020 and Phibes played at festivals like Glastonbury and Boomtown. You won’t want to miss the madness this duo brings to the stage at 4 pm at the Containment Zone.
SuperAve
The final artist we’re highlighting on Day 2 comes from South Carolina. SuperAve draws influence from 90s hip hop and futuristic heavy bass. His passion to push the limits of bass music while paying homage to his hip-hop roots has built his reputation in the bass community. He burst onto the scene in 2019 with heaters like “STEP UP,” “RUM,” and “DAYTONS.” You’re not going to want to miss his early set at 2 pm on the Apocalypse stage.
