Toronto’s own Ricky Bamboo returns with “Extrasensory,” a two-track EP that bends bass music into something otherworldly. Released June 12th on Zeds Dead’s Altered States, the project marks his third release on the imprint. He fuses downtempo, dub, and ambient textures with warped basslines and bamboo-inspired percussion. The result is hypnotic, grounded, and deeply transportive.
A student of jungle and drum & bass, Ricky Bamboo’s roots lie in Toronto’s underground rave scene. Over time, he evolved from DJ to producer. Now, his sound blends the past and future with elegant precision. “Extrasensory” opens with the title track, a slow-burning tribute to bass culture and cosmic awareness. It invites listeners into a meditative, dreamlike soundscape.

The second track, “Mission Control,” pulses with experimental energy and a psychedelic groove. Wiggling rhythms, dub echoes, and live textures drive the momentum forward. Together, both tracks create a spiritual listening experience, crafted with care and intention. Bamboo says,
“A tribute to sample culture, bass wobbles, and dub echoes — this is for the open-minded, tuned into something a little more extrasensory.“
Zeds Dead launched Altered States in 2021 to showcase the genre’s softer, more introspective side. The label blends downtempo, house, and ambient bass into a space for sonic exploration. Bamboo joins the ranks with a sound that feels both grounded and galactic. With “Extrasensory,” Ricky Bamboo reaffirms his role as a rhythm alchemist. His music is nostalgic, playful, and always intentional. Whether beneath the stars or in your headphones, this project speaks to something deeper. Tap in, tune out, and let the frequencies take over.

GRiZ is back in the studio, unleashing his highly anticipated new single, “Chaos Theory.” This unique creation marks his first-ever collaboration with bass music powerhouse Wooli. The single, which was first teased during Wooli’s electrifying live performances, is now available on all music streaming platforms. It promises to be a game-changer in the bass scene.
“Chaos Theory” is a testament to the passion and creativity of both GRiZ and Wooli. Featuring an exclusive vocal performance from the incredibly talented voice actor Boris Hiestand, this single is not just a collaboration but a true artistic expression. The result? An explosive fusion of GRiZ’s signature melodic funk and Wooli’s powerhouse bass sound design. A high-energy, emotionally charged single that brings together two passionate fan bases and pushes the limits of artistic creativity.
GRiZ is a lively and versatile musical artist who seamlessly transitions between upbeat future funk and low-tempo glitch-hop. He explores the heavier side of bass music and occasionally incorporates four-on-the-floor beats or disco elements. Known for his distinct vibey sound, GRiZ infuses each track with his unique style, making it clear where his music comes from.

In March 2025, after a long hiatus, GRiZ announced his inaugural Seven Stars Festival, scheduled for October in Arrington, VA. The festival, which sold out in minutes, will mark GRiZ’s first live performances in two years. This is a highly anticipated event for his fans. Along with the festival announcement, GRiZ released the surprise GEMiNI EP, providing a sonic preview of the future direction of his music. He will also host a weekend of “Re: Connect” arena shows in Chicago, IL, and Daly City, CA.

MUST DIE! stands out as a bold force in bass music. He is returning with some exciting new releases: reimagined versions of his iconic anthem “CHAOS.” These two remixes are just the beginning, featuring contributions from renowned UK producer Flux Pavilion and DJ duo Kill Safari. The release of these “CHAOS” remixes marks the start of a summer-long series of sonic reworks, building up the anticipation for a complete remix package in July 2025.
Initially released in 2019, “CHAOS” quickly became a pivotal moment in MUST DIE!’s career and a landmark in modern dubstep. The single peaked at #1 on the Beatport Dubstep Top 100, with over nine million streams on Spotify alone. Recognized for its powerful sound design and dominance in live sets, the track marked a new era for MUST DIE!. It further solidified his status as a leading force in the evolution of bass music.
Flux Pavilion, a key figure in dubstep, presents an impressive rework that maintains the intensity of the original track while adding cinematic and emotional depth. This remix elevates “CHAOS” to new heights, providing a fresh perspective while still honoring the core energy that made it a staple in the scene. It strikes a balance between the raw aggression of the original and soaring melodic elements. All of this combines to create a nostalgic and innovative remix.
Another prominent group within the dubstep scene delivers a fierce new take on the iconic track. The latest rework of “CHAOS” sees Kill Safari (Bro Safari and Kill The Noise) take the lead. They transform it into a darker, more rhythmically complex experience, producing an intense and unrelenting remix. This stands in stark contrast to Flux Pavilion’s melodic interpretation. The various remixes of “CHAOS” showcase the transformative power of music, demonstrating just how far this record can stretch across the bass music spectrum.
These are the first installment in a curated series of remixes from MUST DIE!’s catalog, culminating in the official CHAOS Remix EP, which will be released in July. Each artist presents their interpretation of the track’s iconic foundation, celebrating the original’s lasting impact while introducing its next chapter. Stream all versions of “CHAOS” on your favorite streaming platforms and prepare for a summer of chaos!
With his unique state of mind and innovative approach in the studio, MUST DIE! appeals to an audience that appreciates groundbreaking sounds, pushing the boundaries of dubstep as we know it. Get ready to experience the chaos and feel your bones rattle as you dive into the energy of MUST DIE! at Bass Canyon, Echostage, Lost Lands, and Wicked Oak!
Iconic Canadian duo Zeds Dead‘s vibrant label, Deadbeats, demonstrates its commitment to innovation and artist empowerment by providing a platform for diverse and emerging voices in electronic music. The label goes beyond just music distribution; it fosters a community rooted in authenticity and artistic freedom. Championing the full spectrum of bass music infused with hip-hop, Deadbeats has attracted a diverse roster of artists, including HEYZ. HEYZ continues to push the boundaries of modern bass music with the release of his latest original track, “Feed Ya Soul.” It’s available now on Deadbeats and streaming on all music platforms!
HEYZ has confidently established himself with his innovative approach to bass music. “Feed Ya Soul” skillfully balances contemporary sounds with nostalgic elements. It showcases HEYZ’s unique combination of powerful percussion, mesmerizing low-end, and complex sound design. This distinctive sound reinforces his reputation as one of the most progressive talents in bass music. “Feed Ya Soul” is a testament to his artistic evolution and relentless dedication to creating a bold, distinctive sonic identity that captivates listeners and keeps them immersed in the HEYZ experience.
“So stoked to make my Deadbeats return with “Feed Ya Soul!” I’ve been in the kitchen a long time cooking this one up, adding a little spice here, some extra sauce there…now it’s finally time to set down the Michelin-worthy dish that all bass music connoisseurs deserve. Think of this as my “Oysters and Pearls” from The French Laundry’s legendary Thomas Keller; my signature dish if you will. What’s the difference, you ask? While Keller’s whimsically enduring approach to the familiar oyster interplays with the regality of tapioca pearls and caviar, my dish shoots it to you straight. A piping hot glizzy busting at the seams with flavor at your favorite fest on a summer’s day. The fuel you want, the fuel you need to keep raging. No frills, just thrills. Now’s your time to take a big bite, sink your teeth in, and feed ya soul.” – HEYZ

This release arrives as HEYZ gears up for a busy summer festival season, including his upcoming “HEYZ’d and Confused” tour. You can also find him headlining the stages of North Coast, Deep Tropics, Dancefestopia, and Lost Lands. He will likely announce more as festival season continues to get into full swing. With each release and live show, HEYZ continues to cement his role as a dynamic force in the bass music landscape. Get lost in the HEYZ by using the links below!
MAD DUBZ and Automhate aren’t actually brothers, but spend five minutes watching them behind the decks or in the studio and you’d never know it. Their new collab, “THE BROTHERS,” is a full-force fusion of two elite dubstep minds. Think brutal basslines, cinematic intros, and more controlled chaos than a Friday night in a warehouse basement. We caught up with both artists to discuss their solo journeys, the unpredictable world of live shows, and how having fun has always been the driving force behind their sound.

Kristen: Your solo sound has always had a gritty, underground energy. How do you channel that when working as part of THE BROTHERS?
MAD DUBZ: Honestly, due to our very similar interests in sound, I have always tried to keep as similar an energy as I always have with my solo stuff. The brothers is mostly trying to focus our solo intents into making the best of both of our skills.
K: From your early productions to now, how has your creative process evolved?
MD: I’ve always tried to stay true to the roots of what I came from, but a big thing for me is how my sound changed after playing live shows. I will always love what I am influenced by, but I’ve really tried to hone in on implementing different new styles since I’ve been playing these insane shows.
K: Who were some of your biggest influences when you first got into production—and have those changed recently?
MD: A few big ones for me have always been Infekt and Aweminus. Those guys are simply the best at doing the sound I enjoy. More recently, automhate has definitely been a huge part of what I’ve been trying to make. So THE BROTHERS has been an amazing opportunity for me to even be a part of. I’ve also recently been super inspired by nimda (I secretly love tearout).
K: What piece of advice would you give to a younger MAD DUBZ just starting out?
MD: Passion and friendship will always be the most important part of growing your self as a artist and producer. Learning new things and enjoying it along the way is sooo important.
K: If you could describe your music career in three words right now, what would they be?
Kristen: Are there any non-EDM genres that have secretly influenced your sound?
Automhate: Definitely old school hip hop beats influence me a lot. Iàve been listening to hip hop as far as I can remember.
K: What’s been the most satisfying moment in your solo career so far?
A: I rarely feel satisfied to be honest. I always feel like I need to try harder. If anything, I can look back and see that one of my best performing tracks is a collaboration with SVDDEN DEATH and that makes me very happy and proud. He has always been one of my favorite producers so it is a huge achievement for me.
K: In terms of personal growth, how has collaborating with MAD DUBZ pushed you?
A: I really love the creative mindset that he brings into our tunes. It makes it easy to work with him. I love Tom.
K: How important is visual branding and aesthetics to you when thinking about music releases?
A: Very important. Sound and vision are two senses that are very correlated to each other for me.
K: If you had unlimited resources for a live show, what insane idea would you want to pull off?
A: First of all, I love LED walls so I’d probably go crazy on those. Then, I’d love a stage that evolves during the set, like a huge changing machine.
Kristen: When you first decided to team up as THE BROTHERS, what was the mission you set for yourselves?
MD: Honestly, to have fun, and to just focus on what insane music we could make with our friendship and combined skills.
K: Can you tell us about a track you made together that perfectly captures the spirit of “THE BROTHERS?”
MD: Probably the combination of da pit remix intro and drop. We really wanted to contrast some classic European music with an insane, heavy hitting dubstep drop.
K: What’s the biggest lesson you learned from playing a stage as immersive and intense as VOYD Dome?
A: That it doesn’t matter how many people you have in front of you. At the end of the day if you have fun then they are going to have fun as well.
K: What’s one dream venue or festival you’d love to headline together — and why?
A: EDC Las Vegas because I have never played there and headlining the Basspod would be a dream.
MD: EDC Vegas would be a huge one, but maybe also beyond or lost lands! There’s so many good ones.
K: Now that VOYD Dome is in the books, what’s the next milestone you’re chasing as THE BROTHERS?
A: Many more festivals, cool releases, and more fun.
MD: 100% more music and shows, we already have more music we want to do stuff with!

PhaseOne, hailing from Sydney, Australia, has quickly established himself in the hardline EDM scene with his unique sound, described as “a symphony of filth.” He fuses metal and electronic music as a producer, guitarist, and songwriter. PhaseOne seamlessly merges his signature high-octane bass sound with soaring melodies, crushing guitar riffs, and a powerful lineup of collaborators from the electronic and rock/metal worlds. He continues to make waves in the industry with the release of his sophomore album, TERRANOVA.
TERRANOVA is an exciting new chapter for PhaseOne. Known for his unique blend of metal and dubstep, he continues to push creative boundaries with this album. Following his 2019 debut, Transcendency, TERRANOVA is a concept-driven collection that dives into the themes of destruction and renewal. The album starts with the cinematic title track, featuring a heartfelt monologue by PhaseOne’s wife. She acts as Mother Nature, reflecting on humanity’s challenges and the promise of Earth’s rebirth. Listen to TERRANOVA now on all music streaming platforms.
“Writing my sophomore album has been a true endeavor, especially following the success of my debut. It took over a year to complete, with personal challenges and creative hurdles, but I’m incredibly proud of the result. It’s more melodic than I expected. Each track has structure—verses, choruses, solos—and incredible vocal toplines. That’s something I feel has been missing in today’s dubstep scene. I wanted to bring that back, while still pushing forward. Clocking in at 10 songs, the album is meticulously curated for quality and impact over quantity. Some might expect more, but I didn’t want to dilute the experience. Every track had to stand out and hold its weight. I didn’t want to make a collection of club bangers; I wanted to tell a story and create something cohesive that flows from beginning to end.” – PhaseOne
Rooted in the Latin phrase “new earth,” TERRANOVA takes listeners on a genre-blending journey that explores themes of growth, hope, environmental awareness, and the darker aspects of human impact. The visuals throughout the project emphasize this concept. The tree of life depicted in “SOS” symbolizes creation; “Pulse” presents a vision of destruction as it burns down this tree; and “Divide” showcases a barren, dystopian aftermath. The final album artwork completes this narrative with an image of a golden, post-human world—resilient, reborn, and thriving.

This year, he has performed at impressive events like SVDDEN DEATH’s Voydome and toured with Crankdat. If you can’t get enough of TERRANOVA and want to have unmatched energy and hear TERRANOVA live, don’t miss PhaseOne throwing down on his nationwide TERRANOVA album summer tour!

Since the pandemic, REZZ has played at The Brooklyn Mirage, New York City’s premier club venue, each year. She planned to continue the tradition this year, with her show booked at the venue for Friday, May 30. But fate had other plans, as The Brooklyn Mirage was forced to postpone its reopening due to delays with its reconstruction and approval from the city.
Fortunately for REZZ fans, her team secured an alternative venue so the show would not need to be postponed or canceled. Instead of a nighttime event in Brooklyn, the show has been moved to a 5pm start at the SummerStage in Manhattan’s famous Central Park. The lineup also remains intact with a strong selection of talented support artists: Mersiv, Nostalgix, G-Space, and isqa.
Ok… NYC/Mirage!!!!!! Due to their venues on-going internal issues – my show can’t happen there as planned this Friday… BUT!! my team was busting ass looking for a dif venue for this Friday & 1 that was avail is summerstage @ Central Park! ! if u bought tickets to mirage u can… pic.twitter.com/3MxmuRiYlr
Those who got their tickets through the DICE ticketing platform needn’t take any action; your DICE tickets will be valid for entry to the show at SummerStage. For anyone trying to send it last minute, final call tickets have been made available for the new venue via Ticketmaster, the ticketing partner for SummerStage. The new start time is 5pm, REZZ plans to go on around 8:30pm, and the show will end at 10pm according to Central Park sound ordinances.
REZZ’s show in New York City is one of just four shows she has penciled into her calendar for 2025, so this is a great opportunity to catch one of her bespoke performances this year. She will perform a second PORTAL show at Washington’s Tacoma Dome on September 26 and host REZZ ROCKS VII at Colorado’s Red Rocks for back-to-back shows on October 18 + 19. Alternatively, REZZ has a busy schedule for all the festival lovers with appearances at Rampage, Shambhala, Veld, Elements, and North Coast this summer.
With a big show on deck, REZZ will unleash a bunch of her freshest tunes at Central Park, including a long-awaited release of her classic “Contorted” and a collab with Chuurch titled “Telepathy,” which both dropped earlier in May. REZZ finishes May with one more song release, “entropy,” scheduled for Friday, May 30. It’s a trippy new tune with Anyma featuring Fknsyd, which REZZ teased in a post on X earlier today.
Regardless of the venue, Friday’s REZZ show will be an evening to remember. New tunes are plentiful, the support is strong, and it’s an incredible opportunity to see REZZ play at one of NYC’s landmark locations. To keep up-to-date with all the latest show dates, music releases, and news announcements, follow REZZ on her social media channels below.
Germany’s riddim heavyweight INFEKT drops “RELIC” via Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats label. Known for his wonky, dark soundscapes, he pushes bass music’s boundaries with hard-hitting, tight production. Moreover, “RELIC” pays homage to a bass style that helped pioneer dubstep but hasn’t had its due recognition lately. INFEKT explains,
“Relic is an homage to a sound that, in my opinion, hasn’t gotten the love it deserves in recent years. I wanted to challenge myself to give it a modern mixdown, with hard-hitting drums and a very tight, full bass—perfect for sound systems. I hope it brings more attention to this style that helped pioneer Dubstep many years ago!“

This launch aligns with INFEKT’s national tour and recent packed shows at major festivals including EDC China, EDC Mexico, and Beyond Wonderland. Additionally, fans eagerly anticipated his debut at EDC Las Vegas, the world’s largest electronic festival. These appearances cement his growing status in the global bass scene.
Born in 1997, INFEKT began producing music at just 12 years old, quickly developing his signature dark and wonky dubstep sound. With releases on heavyweight labels like Monstercat and Disciple—and support from Skrillex, Subtronics, and Zeds Dead—he’s cemented his place as a driving force in underground bass.
Deadbeats, the forward-thinking imprint from Zeds Dead, champions artist freedom and innovation across the bass spectrum. Backed by their vision and touring insights, the label has uplifted talents like IMANU, CHEE, and Rusko. With “RELIC”, INFEKT adds his voice to that legacy, pushing the genre into bold, uncharted territory.
As INFEKT’s global fanbase expands, this release marks another milestone in his journey. “RELIC” invites bass lovers worldwide to dive into riddim’s deeper, darker corners with an artist who never plays it safe. Get ready to feel the impact!
Chicago-based producer System Kids is set to make waves with his latest release, “Mess With Me.” The track blends old school dubstep vibes with new trap and wave sounds. Known for his genre-blending remixes and originals, he has been steadily building a reputation within the bass scene, including support from dubstep tastemaker, Excision.
System Kids started releasing remixes on his Soundcloud in 2021. Shortly after, original tracks followed in 2022. He started producing trap and future bass, but recently moved more towards the dubstep and drum and bass genres. In 2024, after a few years of building up his catalog, he released his first EP, Rise. These accomplishments helped him get booked by his hometown festival, North Coast.
“Mess With Me” opens with a sound that’s a combination of a didgeridoo and a machine powering up. From there, booming trap horns and a simple beat consisting of a kick, metallic snare, and cymbals take over. System Kids sounds the alarm, alerting the listener that the drop is imminent. When it hits, wave-inspired synths surge to the forefront. The second drop goes harder than the first, taking influence from riddim with stomping kicks and chops. My only critique of the track is that it ends just as the listener is fully locked in.
“‘Mess With Me’ was created from blending new school and old school dubstep,” System Kids shared about his new tune. “I’ve always loved the sound of older styled bass records, so I knew I wanted to incorporate that into ‘Mess With Me.’ Once I came up with the drop, I realized I had something special on my hands. My goal was to create a huge, high-energy festival banger, something that makes people go ‘woah’ when they listen to it for the first time. That element of surprise is really important to me; I always want my listeners to be curious about what’s coming next.“
System Kids continues to engage with his audience through social media, offering glimpses into his creative process and the inspiration behind his music. Stay updated with all the latest music releases, show reveals, and news announcements from System Kids by using the links below.
The dynamic dubstep duo Adventure Club returned to New York City this past Friday, May 16, as headliners for the grand reopening of Mission Nightclub.

In addition to their full repertoire of K-pop edits, Adventure Club played a range of their melodic remixes, heavy bangers, and tasty mashups they are known for. Of course, they played their new remix of Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” and ended their set with “Light Me Up,” an unreleased collab with Flight School featuring Reve that drops on Friday, May 30.

Having seen over a dozen Adventure Club sets over the years, the K-pop tunes added a fun and fresh element to their performance. If you want to check out an Adventure Club K-pop set for yourself, you’re in luck. They will perform a K-pop Idol set on Day 2 of Insomniac’s Lost In Dreams Festival in Los Angeles on July 12. For a heavier bass set, Adventure Club will also feature at Excision’s Bass Canyon at The Gorge in Washington from August 15 to 17.
For those wanting fresh Adventure Club music, they came roaring into 2025 with the debut of their new monthly Insomniac Radio show on the 4th Monday of every month, familiarly named Superheroes Anonymous. They’ve already got four episodes in the books, and the show mixes are posted to their SoundCloud if you need to get caught up. With a new show to support, Adventure Club’s been busy releasing new songs, too. My favorite tune of 2025 is “Move” with Coleman Hell, and “Nothing To Lose” with Oliverse is a close second.
Adventure Club has also been reaching deep into their archives to share classic EDM remixes from the golden era of OG dubstep over 10 years ago. All the while, they’ve been hinting at a big throwback tour in the works for the fall. To keep up with all the latest show announcements and new music releases, be sure to follow Adventure Club on their social channels below.
