ALLEYCVT continues to carve out her place in the heavy dubstep scene with her latest track, “Strangers,”—a powerful blend of raw, emotive pop vocals and explosive drops. Seamlessly blending melodic dubstep, modern pop-dubstep, and the grit of rock music, the track delivers an immersive experience that’s equal parts hypnotic and heavy.
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.
Saturday’s set at The District showcased some of their new music but leaned into a more intimate experience with house and DnB-heavy selections. The event featured support from local Atlanta artists JennyKat and Wilsun.

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. From their new album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, they performed “Hold My Hand,” “One of These Mornings,” “Angel,” “Bad Guy,” “Heartbeat,” “A Million Dreams,” and “Sweet Memories.”
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.
Overall, Zeds Dead’s sets in both Atlanta and Nashville were a glimpse of history in the making. The duo outdid themselves, delivering an unparalleled auditory experience and a visually stunning performance that was both dynamic and intentional.
For longtime fans who think their sets couldn’t possibly get any better—and for those who have yet to experience one—this tour is a must-see. They have truly defied all expectations. Check out their socials and tour dates below, and secure your tickets now. You don’t want to miss this!
Ohio-born DJ and producer Crankdat has finally released his new track “Whiplash” with SOFI.

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. SOFI has even made her mark in film, with music featured in soundtracks for hit movies such as The Hangover Part 2 and 22 Jump Street.
After nearly quitting his music career in 2023, Crankdat has experienced remarkable growth, leading a bass-driven evolution in the industry. From explosive social media success and two back-to-back sold-out nights at the Hollywood Palladium to collaborations with household names like Waka Flocka Flame, Juicy J, and DJ Snake, his momentum is unstoppable. He has also delivered standout performances at iconic festivals, including a record-breaking set at EDC Las Vegas, which became the most-attended closing set in Basspod history.

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.

Buckle up, bass heads—Cyclops is back, and he’s launching into 2025 with a seismic bang. After a meteoric rise last year, the wonky bass wizard is unleashing his highly anticipated single, “WOMP WORLD.” Debuting at midnight, Cyclops (Keith Palmieri) is setting the tone for an all-new chapter in his artistic evolution. This isn’t just another track—it’s the key to Cyclops’ next creative frontier. Fans have been begging for this one since he first teased it in his live sets, and it doesn’t disappoint.
“WOMP WORLD” isn’t your average bass anthem. It’s a chaotic ride filled with distorted bass stabs, razor-sharp drops, and Cyclops’ signature wonky energy.

New Music Friday brings a powerful collaboration from two talented Canadian producers, WHIPPED CREAM and Andrea Botez. They worked together on “Erased,” a soulful track released to honor International Women’s Day on March 8, out now via Monstercat. It is a fitting work of art from two women who followed non-traditional paths into the music industry.
WHIPPED CREAM spent her early years training as a figure skater and was set to represent Team Canada at The Olympics before an injury derailed her. She found inspiration from Hans Zimmer, Kanye, and Skrillex to transition to a successful career as a producer and DJ. Andrea Botez is just getting started with her musical journey after enjoying success as a competitive chess player and Twitch streamer.

“Erased” unites two influential women in electronic music and underscores the significance of Women’s History Month.
“Erased” begins with a dramatic melody and WHIPPED CREAM’s captivating vocals soon after. The track builds up with a captivating backbeat before unleashing a thunderous techno bassline punctuated by sharp snares and dynamic synths. The song beautifully blends WHIPPED CREAM’s melodic production with Andrea Botez’s hard-hitting techno.
“It is not just a track; it’s a moment,” WHIPPED CREAM shared. “Dark techno collides with melodic house, blending deep, emotive vocals with an unrelenting groove and unstoppable energy. This is more than music; it’s a statement. I cannot wait for the world to experience it, especially in celebration of International Women’s Day. Andrea’s influence in heavy techno played a major role in shaping this track.“
Botez weighed in on the collab, “I fell in love with WHIPPED CREAM’s sound when I first heard her haunting yet beautiful vocals and knew immediately we had to combine our two unique styles. I sent Caroline [WHIPPED CREAM] my first ‘tech house’ demo, and her writing for ‘Erased’ transformed the track into a techno anthem. We both pulled from past experiences, and her vocals even inspired me to add some of my own as an Easter egg.“

After finishing her “is this real?” tour last year and releasing her album Careline in January 2025, WHIPPED CREAM is booked for a full slate of international festival appearances. She’ll be at Beyond Wonderland, Ubbi Dubbi, Tomorrowland, and Shambhala just to name a few. For Andrea Botez, this is another big step in her DJ career after dropping remixes of Boris Brejcha and Kaskade in the month prior.
If “Erased” is a testament to the direction of these two talented producers, there’s plenty more great music coming from WHIPPED CREAM and Andrea Botez. To keep up with all their latest music and announcements, check out their social links below.
