Just when fans thought Tisoki had hit the ceiling, he blasted straight through it with “TURN ME UP (LOUDER).” This surprise VIP remix dials up the intensity, delivering a summer anthem that’s louder, heavier, and downright chaotic in all the best ways. If the original track packed a punch, this version throws a full-scale sonic knockout. A veteran of the bass music scene, Tisoki has spent over a decade refining his craft, earning nods from legends like Skrillex, RL Grime, and DJ Snake.
“Ever since I released ‘TURN ME UP’ back in July of last year, I had always thought it could have been louder, heavier and more aggressive,” Tisoki says. “This new version / VIP / remix does exactly that, and I’m thankful that I have the creative freedom to do it. I still love the original, but this has taken the initial idea to 11. I’m glad the idea can live in both worlds of ‘clinically clean’ and ‘distorted and heavy.'”

He lets distortion run wild, giving the track a raw, untamed power. It’s both reckless and calculated, blending technical skill with pure adrenaline.
With releases on Monstercat, Never Say Die, and Dim Mak, Tisoki keeps pushing bass music forward. “TURN ME UP (LOUDER)” doesn’t just raise the volume — it smashes expectations. Play it loud. Play it louder. And when you think you’ve hit the limit, turn it up even more.

Legendary DJ and producer duo Zeds Dead have unveiled the highly anticipated conceptual film for their sophomore album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness. This visual companion, directed by Callum Gilles and Zeds Dead, expands the album’s sonic world. Together they weave a mesmerizing audiovisual journey through space, time, and sound.
The album concept is a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation—the idea of a television picking up different radio and TV stations from the past century. It draws deep inspiration from Zeds Dead’s live show experience over the past few years. Sampling has always been a vital part of their creative process, stemming from their hip-hop roots. Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness embraces this tradition, blending snippets of old records and films nostalgically and innovatively.
The film showcases a surreal and hypnotic visual style. It takes viewers on a kaleidoscopic journey where sound, light, and radio waves merge into a limitless, ever-changing narrative. This narrative transcends a simple story; it offers an immersive experience that captivates and engages the audience. Whether sonic or visual, transmissions never truly vanish; instead, they drift endlessly through the cosmos, waiting to be rediscovered.
“In making Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, we connected with the spirit of what Zeds Dead is. We threw whatever crossed our minds at the wall and observed what stuck. One of our biggest inspirations for this album was the idea of not letting anything matter in our creative process except our own taste. It is very much art for art’s sake, and we both fully stand behind the product.” Zeds Dead
Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness is about reclaiming the purity of artistic play, following instincts without hesitation, and rediscovering the joy of creation. Experience intergalactic happiness with Zeds Dead with upcoming performances at Ultra Music Festival, Beyond Wonderland, and The Concourse Project. They will also be returning for two days of Dead Rocks XI in July at Red Rocks Amphitheatre!

In “Strangers,” ALLEYCVT explores themes of discovery and connection, capturing the nature of relationships. The track guides listeners through a cycle of attachment and release, showcasing her blend of vulnerability and dancefloor-ready bass. Visually, her aesthetic draws inspiration from cyberpunk and deadhead influences, adding a trippy, psychedelic dimension to the artistic expression.
“The song “STRANGERS” is up for interpretation, and that’s what I love about songwriting. It could be about not recognizing yourself anymore for whatever reason, and reflecting on that. It also could be about another person that you once knew, that now feels like a stranger. A breakup, addiction, giving too much of yourself to somebody or something… The limits are endless and I want everyone to interpret the song in a way that speaks to them!” – ALLEYCVT

“SOS is the lead single from the album and probably the most painstakingly crafted track. It went through countless variations over the course of a year, but it wasn’t until I reached out to Make Them Suffer—who agreed to feature—that the song started to take shape. I’ve chosen it as the first single for my next album because it embodies everything you’d expect from a PhaseOne track: guitar, an ethereal verse, a massive chorus, and metal vocals that lead into a crushing drop. Think of it as Crash & Burn 2.0, if you will.” – PhaseOne
A new era is upon us for PhaseOne, and this is a must-hear moment for both bass and metal fans alike. The incredible thing about PhaseOne’s music is that it takes you on an emotional journey, from moments of introspection to bursts of raw energy. You’ll find yourself crying one moment and then ready to unleash your rage. Work out your emotions and let them rage out in those pits. Follow the “Symphony of Filth” with the links below!
Zeds Dead has been on fire lately, dropping their first album in eight years Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness. Anticipation for this project has been building for some time now, fueled by the release of featured tracks “Sweet Memories” in November 2024, “Heartbeat” in December 2024, and “One of These Mornings” in January 2025. Containing 14 tracks and two interludes, the album takes listeners on an interdimensional journey through time, space, and sound.
“In making Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness, we really connected with the spirit of what Zeds Dead is,” said the duo. “Throwing whatever crossed our minds at the wall and seeing what stuck. One of our biggest inspirations for this album was the idea of not letting anything matter in our creative process except for our own taste. It is very much art for art’s sake, and the product is something we can both fully stand behind.”
Alongside the release of their new album, Zeds Dead embarked on an album tour that kicked off on release day with back-to-back Atlanta shows at The Roxy and The District. With support from Montycler, A Hundred Drums, and Truth Friday’s show at The Roxy marked the debut of Zeds Dead’s visionary concept—a performance designed to mimic a TV flickering through time, highlighting their mastery of sampling from old records and films.

After a stop in Boston on Friday, March 14, Zeds Dead finally brought the bass to Nashville, taking over The Pinnacle on Saturday, March 15. Nikita the Wicked set the tone for the night with heavy bass, followed by A Hundred Drums, who delivered a deep dubstep set. Cool Customer kept the energy high, seamlessly shifting between glitch-hop bass and DnB.
Following an energetic and dynamic performance from the supporting lineup, Zeds Dead took the stage, unveiling their one-of-a-kind visual experience that fully immerses the audience in the journey of Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness—all while dressed in stylish suits.
Their set opened with “Light,” the first track on the new album, featuring haunting dialogue from The NeverEnding Story: “Why is it so dark?… In the beginning, it is always dark.… One grain of sand is all that remains.” As the tension built, the song erupted into a hard-hitting DnB drop, launching a high-energy sequence of drum & bass that set the tone for the rest of the night.
Throughout their performance, Zeds Dead seamlessly transitioned between old favorites, new tracks from their latest album, and multiple unreleased songs and remixes. Among the fan-favorite classics, they played “Kill ‘Em” with 1000 Volts, “Scared” with Peekaboo, “Mad Ting” with Moody Good and Killa P, “One Three Nine” with Scruffizzer, “Gassed Up VIP” with Subtronics, and their remix of “Atmosphere” by GodLovesUgly.

Zeds Dead also treated the crowd to several unreleased remixes, including Bill Conti’s Rocky theme, “Gonna Fly Now,” Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer,” Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” and Nancy Sinatra’s “Bang Bang.” One of the night’s biggest highlights was their performance of “Ecstasy of Soul” with GRiZ, a moment amplified by mesmerizing lasers and an electrified crowd. Just as the audience was fully absorbed in the experience, they dropped into “Bumpy Teeth,” a high-energy collaboration with Subtronics, proving once again that Zeds Dead’s music transcends subgenres—no matter what they play, their sound is in a league of its own.
The set concluded with an unforgettable sequence that began with their unreleased remix of Gene Wilder’s “Pure Imagination,” which featured elements of John Lennon’s “Imagine.” This led to their “Channel Flipping” segment, a mind-bending audiovisual display where they sampled old films and TV classics like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Bob Ross, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Star Wars, and Pink Floyd. As the visuals faded, the words “Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow” echoed, building anticipation for the final song of the night. The show closed with one of their most popular tracks, “Collapse,” leaving the crowd in awe as the original fan-favorite version played out to an unforgettable finale.

A heavy-hitting bass-house anthem, the track is a testament to Crankdat’s boundary-breaking beats that are sure to get the crowd moving.
“This track is really special to me,” said Crankdat, “it’s an instant party starter and really represents what the Crankdat project is at its core. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while and using it in my shows, and no matter where I put it in my sets, it instantly gets the room going. I had the pleasure of working with SOFI on this one and really giving it the energy it deserves. I’m so excited to finally have this out now, and I really hope you guys love it.“
The track kicks off with a high-energy house beat, gradually building as SOFI’s vocals layer seamlessly with the bass. As the momentum rises, it leads into an electrifying, dance-worthy break. Later, the rhythms shift into a filthy drop that’s sure to satisfy bass lovers. “Whiplash” highlights Crankdat’s ability to craft immersive soundscapes through his unique creative vision, solidifying it as a cornerstone anthem for his GET CRANKED! 2025 North American Tour.
Crankdat’s collaborator on the track, SOFI, is a German-born Greek artist known for being the muse, voice, and writer behind two deadmau5 tracks, “Sofi Needs A Ladder” and “One Trick Pony.” She has also achieved an impressive dance and choreographer career, performing on tours alongside Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, and Mötley Crüe.

After kicking off the new year strong with their groundbreaking Respawn EP in February, EAZYBAKED is back with another hit. Collaborating with Daggz, they have released a new single, “WYAWYS.” Unlike the introspective nature of Respawn, this track delivers unfiltered, bass-heavy energy, reminiscent of their releases like “Certified” with Montycler and their official Zeds Dead remix of “Rude Boy.”
“This tune was honestly inspired by a voice memo our brother Okaykayo sent over,” EAZYBAKED shared. “We clipped the ‘WYAWYS’ because it just felt so gangster, and it really set the tone for the idea and structure of the song. Once the tune was in a decent place, we had the idea of sending it to our bro—the legend, Daggz. This was our first time jumping on a song together, and it happened very seamlessly. He brought the track to new levels!“
“We want people to feel like savage beasts running in the wild,” EazyBaked continued. “We want people to feel kinda lost and sorta confused but also content and ready to rage. The main challenge, to be honest, was getting the artwork dialed—haha. We are so stoked to have the record out and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.“
Blending immersive bass with cutting-edge sound design, “WYAWYS” delivers high-energy rhythms and powerful basslines to get the crowds moving. The track’s hypnotic vocals, “Where you at? Where you stay?” layer seamlessly over heavy drops, creating an electrifying atmosphere. With its festival-ready sound, this collaboration between EAZYBAKED and Daggz is set to leave a lasting impact.
“The boys randomly sent me some stems with Okaykayo,” said Daggz, “and I was instantly hyped on them. Tried a bunch of different sounds and flows out, landed on this wet, juicy slurky saw wave that kinda fit the vibe of the vocals perfect and defined the drop. When I first heard the vocals I thought ‘anxiety,’ that feeling of being overwhelmed especially when slightly faded and in a busy social setting lol. Was trying to embody that a bit, kinda trippy but still edgy, tried to keep it gangster and angsty to match the energy of the drums and vox. Ultimately I think we got ourselves a pretty not-been-done-before type tune, those are usually my favorite kind 😉”
EAZYBAKED continues its run of shows, joining Zeds Dead, Subtronics, and Black Tiger Sex Machine on select dates across the U.S. Fans can catch them live at Mana Wynwood in Miami, FL on March 27 and the Tacoma Dome in Washington on April 5.
