Las Vegas-based DJ and producer Carrie Kelleris continuing an amazing year. Her latest single, “Want You,” is out today via UK-based Vivifier Records. Known for her fiery mix of melodic house, punchy percussion, and emotionally charged toplines, Keller delivers a track that lives at the intersection of intimacy and dance floor intensity.

“Want You” is Carrie Keller’s third release of the year, following “Detrimental” and her feature on Breez & Silvertone’s “Think About You.” This newest track shows Carrie Keller leveling up both as a producer and a vocalist since she started releasing music in 2024. The simple drum beat and the pumping synths make it a track that is impossible not to dance to. The mix is well done, utilizing panning to create space and depth, immersing the listener fully. The second half of the track climbs in intensity, layering rhythms and textures until it reaches a frenzy, before breaking open into a smooth release.
“The meaning can be applied in many ways. It’s about the longing of what you want most… a person, dream, or even better version of yourself,” says Keller. “Wanting something deeply is a mix of a lot of emotions. That’s the experience I was having while making this track.“
The single lands a few weeks before Carrie Keller debuts on the Horizon Stage at RISE Music Festival, where she will be sharing the stage with Calvin Harris, Disclosure, and Oliver Heldens. Her year has already included high-profile appearances at the EDC Confessions Pool Party, Into The Horizon, and the Waste Management Open (golf tournament). She also has ongoing residencies at Zouk Nightclub and AYU Dayclub in Las Vegas. With more releases queued up for fall and growing global recognition, “Want You” feels like another major step in her journey.

Denver’s bass disruptor HEYZ is back with HEYZ’D and Confused, a four-track thrill ride out now via Bassrush Records. Known for his warped sense of humor and unhinged sound design, the standout producer takes listeners deep into a dubstep fever dream. It’s his second EP on the imprint, and it might be his most unfiltered release yet.
The title track, “HEYZ’D and Confused,” leads the charge with lo-fi narration and piano-laced tension before spiraling into deep, ragga-inspired dubstep. From there, the chaos only intensifies. Previously released heater “Onomono,” featuring Dubbygotbars, rips through with sharp verses and snarling bass. It’s already made waves across major outlets and solidified HEYZ’s hip-hop-laced dubstep blend.
Then comes “Demons,” a gritty roller full of ragga swagger, distorted subs, and fierce rap vocals slicing through the mix. Closing the EP is “Fantasy,” a left-turn into psychotropic dubstep where dreamy vocals glide over woozy bass and swirling textures. It’s a slow burner that lingers.
HEYS kicks off his “HEYZ’D and Confused” Tour tonight, August 1, with a show in Tulsa. Along with dozens of tour stops through December, HEYZ will also be playing at renowned festivals across North America, including Deep Tropics, North Coast, Dancefestopia, KN?WHERE, Lost Lands, and Breakaway Charlotte. For tour tickets, HEYZ merch, and all the latest news, use the social media links below.

What started as an ambitious newcomer is now shaping up to be one of the most talked-about festivals of the year.
Phase Two Lineup

Wooli brings his signature melodic bass and heavy drops, while Canadian dubstep pioneer Distinct Motive joins the charge. For the first time, the festival will launch with an official Thursday pre-party with Getter, turning the weekend into a full four-day journey. Dr. Fresch takes the stage for a special guest set that blends bass house with electro grit. Fans can also expect mind-bending performances from GorillaT, Ganja White Night, Funtcase, and Cyclops—each known for immersive soundscapes and boundary-blurring production.
But it doesn’t stop there. The lineup also features standout B2B sets like Jason Ross B2B MitiS for a rare sunset journey, and LUCI B2B DirtySnatcha for raw, high-voltage energy. Fast-rising producer Lumasi rounds out the fresh additions, alongside a stacked supporting cast that includes VLCN, AHEE, The Resistance, Jaenga, and more. Altogether, over 90 artists will take over three cutting-edge stages throughout the weekend.
Ameneties
Early birds can rise with lakeside yoga, decompress on the private beach, or dive into art and wellness before the stages roar to life. Group camping options are now available, emphasizing connection and shared energy. From sunrise swims to midnight bass rituals, every hour is an invitation to explore.
Founded by DNR Productions, Kn¿where embodies a spirit of innovation, inclusivity, and unshakable community. DNR has made its name curating high-energy shows that prioritize PLUR values, and Kn¿where is their magnum opus. A place where sound, intention, and environment converge.

The pine-covered peaks of Flagstaff trembled last weekend as hundreds of bass lovers flocked to the Pepsi Amphitheater for Escape to Coconino. Across two high-octane nights, fans were transported to a forest rave fueled by deep subs and desert energy.
Friday kicked off with moody dubstep and experimental bass, setting a sinister tone beneath the star-soaked sky. Nealson opened with melodic tension, weaving emotion through halftime grooves. YDG brought the heat, blending bass grit with hair-raising sound design. As the temperature dropped, Of The Trees turned up the pressure with mind-bending textures and cerebral flow. Their set reminded the crowd that sometimes, less is infinitely more.
Saturday flipped the script, delivering full-throttle chaos and high-energy sets across the board. Austeria electrified early arrivals with glitchy hooks and festival-ready anthems. Jantsen followed with maximum velocity, layering thick, crunchy dubstep with genre-jumping style with ease. Ravenscoon dialed up the funk and filthy wobble, rallying the crowd with banger after banger. His chemistry on stage felt effortless, but the execution was pure mastery; Always a pleasure.
The night hit maximum velocity with Boogie T, whose swampy basslines and funk-laced drops turned the forest into a full-blown party. Ganja White Night closed the weekend with a cinematic journey through wobble bass and storytelling sound design. Their signature blend of reggae influence, melodic depth, and massive drops cast a spell over the forest. Lasers danced across the trees with the crowd fully immersed. It was a finale worthy of a legend.
Escape to Coconino wasn’t just another show — it was a full-body experience in nature’s rave haven. Surrounded by towering trees and mountain silence, the music somehow felt louder. As the final basslines echoed through the forest, Escape to Coconino proved that Flagstaff belongs on the national bass music map.
