Last year, the mysterious riddim collective known as The Resistance released their debut EP EVIL EMPIRE. Now, exactly one year later, they’ve returned with an 11-track remix compilation, EVIL EMPIRE (THE REMIXES) featuring some of riddim and dubstep’s top producers. With the original EP already regarded as one of the defining riddim releases of the past year, each reimagined track brings fresh and exciting energy to the project.
The Resistance consists of nine anonymous, distinct creative voices united under a shared vision that blends heavy bass with dystopian themes to create immersive live experiences. Having gained attention for their theatrical stage presence, the group maintains anonymity through sinister masks and a Star Wars-inspired aesthetic.
The original EP featured four tracks, but the remix project comprises multiple reimaginings of each one. The breakout title track, “EVIL EMPIRE,” has been remixed by both FuntCase and OG Nixin. “BATTLE OF CRAIT” receives three remixes from Automhate, Mvrda, and JUB, while “T-70” also gets three new versions from Chibs, Muerte, and Ophion. Closing out the release are three remixes of “LASER BRAIN” by Aweminus, ONAra, and Izzy Vadim. From laser-focused riddim to experimental production, each track delivers a unique flip that takes the original EP into new sonic territory.
This compilation arrives just ahead of The Resistance’s new audiovisual experience, SHADOWCELL, set to premiere in early March at RAMPAGE 2026, Europe’s largest bass music festival. Sharing the stage with hard-hitting acts like Sub Focus, Infekt, and Wooli B2B Crankdat, their performance is expected to blend immersive world-building, cinematic storytelling, and devastating sonics. With the release of this remix compilation alongside the debut of SHADOWCELL, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for The Resistance.
After dropping his highly anticipated fan favorite track “Dolori,” the first single from his upcoming studio album Moonglade Park, Of The Trees is back with another undeniably bass-forward hit, “Look Into My Eyes.” Collaborating with Atlanta’s iconic hip hop duo EARTHGANG, the track showcases a different side of Of The Trees’ production compared to “Dolori,” highlighting the range of sounds and vibes listeners can expect across the upcoming album.
“It’s been a lot of fun working with Of The Trees on this record,” said EARTHGANG. “This record is one we think is an example of true collaboration. We both brought something from our worlds that created something fresh that we believe both of our fans will enjoy.”
First debuting in Atlanta and later featured in Of The Trees’ 2025 Electric Forest headline set, “Look Into My Eyes” pushes the boundaries of both hip-hop and electronic music, showcasing the forward-thinking creativity of each artist within their respective genres. The track is a genre-defying fusion of cinematic bass, immersive low-end sound design, and EARTHGANG’s intentional, hypnotic lyricism. The result is a dancefloor-ready yet introspective cut, driven by cinematic bass and a moody, atmospheric vibe.
Similar to the release of his first single, “Dolori,” Of The Trees and EARTHGANG have also dropped a music video alongside “Look Into My Eyes.” Filmed in Fairplay, Colorado, the video captures the genuine creative chemistry between the artists while showcasing the natural environment that inspired the album. Watch the newly released music video below.

Based in Denver and originally from Maine, Of The Trees has been captivating audiences with his signature blend of dubstep and hip hop, pairing expansive synth textures and layered chords with hard-hitting 808s. In 2016, he released two full studio albums, debuting Dream Atlas in February, followed by Duat later that July.
Over the past decade, he has collaborated with major artists like John Summit and Curren$y, amassed millions of streams across tracks such as “Spanish Moss,” “Windhorse,” and “Everglade March,” returned to Red Rocks for a second consecutive year this past November, and launched his two day immersive event Camp Alderwild, which blends music, nature, and community. These milestones marked the start of his 30+ date national bus tour, featuring support from artists like Opiuo, Detox Unit, and EAZYBAKED at iconic venues including The Salt Shed, The Hollywood Palladium, BayCare Sound, and Brooklyn Paramount. With most dates already selling out, fans are encouraged to secure tickets soon to catch the remainder of the tour at www.ofthetreesmusic.com/tour.
Now, nearly a decade after his previous studio albums, Of The Trees returns with Moonglade Park, a project that reflects on environmental preservation, memory, imagination, and creation within a world driven by noise, speed, and automation. Inspired by full album listening experiences, he took the immersion a step further by wiping his social presence and beginning the curation of the Moonglade Park universe through a companion website, www.moongladepark.com. The site acts as a digital storyteller, mapping fan experiences, tour stops, and music video releases while embracing a late 1990s retro national park aesthetic. With two releases already out, the album is shaping up to embody everything Of The Trees stands for: intentional music rooted in stillness, growth, and transformation.
Hailing from Atlanta, EARTHGANG is a Grammy-nominated, genre-bending hip hop duo known for their boundary-pushing sound and philosophical lyricism. After signing to Dreamville in 2017, the duo carved out a distinct lane as leading voices in progressive hip hop, blending Southern hip hop influences with a forward-thinking creative vision.
With hundreds of millions of global streams, EARTHGANG has collaborated with major artists including J. Cole, Young Thug, Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, and CeeLo Green. Their cultural impact continues to grow, earning praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Interview Magazine, NME, Highsnobiety, and VICE for their immersive storytelling and thoughtful reflections on modern culture. Their work often addresses timely issues, including artificial intelligence, environmental justice, mental health, and spirituality.
Beyond their music, EARTHGANG founded The EARTHGANG Foundation, a nonprofit focused on local empowerment initiatives and climate advocacy aimed at raising awareness and action around environmental injustice. In recognition of these efforts, the duo was honored at the White House by Vice President Kamala Harris and awarded their own EARTHGANG Day on April 27 by the city of Atlanta.
Originally from Connecticut and now based in Austin, TX, Jensen Truly is an emerging electronic artist known for immersive soundscapes and emotionally driven performances. After spending part of his childhood in Ajijic, Mexico, he developed an early appreciation for music and culture, influenced by his father’s lifelong involvement in the industry. While music was always present, it was not until high school in Austin that Jensen found his creative direction, turning to DJing as an emotional outlet and gradually building a name for himself through underground house parties.
Following high school, Jensen traveled and volunteered abroad, working on farms in Australia and conducting marine research in Thailand, where a pivotal set at the Full Moon Party cemented his decision to pursue music professionally. After the loss of his mother in 2023, Jensen committed fully to refining his craft through music production studies at Berklee College of Music and Austin Community College. Now, with his debut editorial release “Inconclusive,” Jensen steps into a new chapter of his artistry, sharing a more personal and intentional side of his sound.
“I started ‘Inconclusive’ two years ago and forgot about it until one night I was digging through old demos and found the first version,” said Jensen Truly. “It was totally different back then, but the vocals and keys pulled me back in and pushed me to finally finish it.”
“Inconclusive” is an emotional yet dancefloor-ready track that blends elements of funky house, stutter house, and old school house. The single balances groove-driven rhythms with subtle emotional depth, creating a sound that feels both personal and built for late-night dance floors. It reflects Jensen Truly’s ability as an artist to turn introspection into movement.
If you like the energy of Jensen Truly’s “Inconclusive,” be sure to explore more of his music at the link below. You can also catch Jensen live at his upcoming shows, including his personal project The Furnace in Austin on February 6, opening for Angrybaby at The Marc in San Marcos on February 13, and his festival debut at Big Bond Music Festival on March 27, a boutique camping electronic music event in the heart of the West Texas desert.
Burko, a San Diego-based producer and DJ, has been climbing the ranks in the Southern California music scene and clearing out a bold new trail with his dark, cinematic sound. Building on that momentum, Burko unveils his latest two-track EP, Somnus. “The EP sits in my signature space: dark indie dance with a melodic techno edge,” he says.
While many producers draw inspiration from the studio environment, Burko looked inward for this project. According to the artist, Somnus is a body of work born from the space between consciousness and dream. “Each track idea arrived to me in my sleep as if transmitted through the subconscious,” Burko shares.
“Rather than being built solely in the studio, these songs carry the surreal weight of music born from the dream state. Waking up from the dream and remembering the melodies, I turned each idea into the songs on this EP.” This ethereal origin is reflected in the EP’s sound design. Characterized by heavy analog synths and brooding rhythms, Somnus stays true to Burko’s roots.

To support the release of Somnus, Burko has debuted a new press shoot that visually echoes the EP’s subconscious themes. By using distorted reflections to mirror the project’s origins, the imagery serves as a portal into the “dreaming music” concept.
Somnus isn’t just a collection of new tracks; it marks a significant pivot toward a more refined and intentional sound. “This release marks a new chapter for me, fusing raw inspiration with a refined and distinctive sound that continues to earn support from global names like Deadmau5, Lane 8, David Guetta, Yotto, and Above & Beyond,” Burko affirms.
With Somnus, Burko does more than just release new music; he invites listeners into the deepest corners of his creative psyche. By capturing the fleeting melodies of his subconscious and grounding them in his trademark dark, indie dance production, he further establishes himself as a singular voice in the dance music landscape. As he bridges the gap between the dream world and the dance floor, one thing is certain: Burko’s ascent is no longer just a Southern California story, but a bold new chapter in the dance music scene.

Following the release of their highly acclaimed album Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, the iconic duo, Zeds Dead, returns with another groundbreaking track, “Runaway,” incorporating elements of DnB and future bass. Marking their first release of 2026, they have collaborated with IMANU and vocalist MKLA to create a single that is both dynamic and emotionally charged.
“Runaway” begins with an ethereal yet heavy drop fused with MKLA’s airy, emotional vocals before launching into an adrenaline-fueled second drop that showcases IMANU’s cutting-edge DnB skills. Bridging the two producers’ differing styles, MKLA’s vocals serve as an anchor for the track, creating a timeless sound poised to dominate sets across the electronic circuit in the coming year.
This track follows a career-defining year for Zeds Dead after releasing Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, further cementing their legacy as boundary-defying electronic visionaries. Having spent the last decade carving out their own space within the industry, Zeds Dead are on a roll that seemingly cannot be stopped. They recently sold out their 12th annual Deadrocks event at Colorado’s most iconic venue, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, showcasing their dominance in the industry and unwavering fanbase.
ZEDS DEAD
With a career dating back to 2009, Zeds Dead released their debut album Northern Lights in 2016, and immediately fans knew they were curating something special. That same year, they launched their Deadbeats label, which continues to stand as one of the leading independent labels in dance music. With over 300 releases featuring artists such as REZZ, Subtronics, GRiZ, Levity, and Zeds Dead themselves, it’s clear they remain among the strongest tastemakers in the game right now.
For IMANU, formerly known as Signal, this release follows a series of major creative milestones, including headlining his De Verte showcase in collaboration with Mixmag LAB during ADE this past October. Known for his experimental sound design and genre-defying production, IMANU has earned over 100 million streams across platforms, with collaborations alongside Zeds Dead, Subtronics, and Noisia. Continuing to expand his De Verte events, he is set to embark on a tour across Asia and has also branched into the fashion world with his sustainable brand, 14SAINTDENIS.
Back with a collaboration ten years in the making, Kaskade, CID, and Anabel Englund have released their highly anticipated progressive house track, “Vision Blurred.” Debuting on John Summit’s label Experts Only, the single features Anabel Englund’s unmistakably polished and emotive vocals. The track has already gained momentum over the past year, having been played out in DJ sets across the global electronic circuit. Following previous standout collaborations like “Us” (2015) and “Sweet Memories” (2016), “Vision Blurred” is poised to become a staple on both main stages and club floors this year.
“CID and I have been crossing paths creatively for more than a decade now,” said Kaskade, “and every time we come back together it feels familiar in the best way. I’ve been trying to work with Anabel Englund for approximately forever, but just couldn’t find the right song. Then ‘Vision Blurred’ came along and it all finally came together.”
“This is a song that’s made to be played loud and I dare anyone NOT to sing along. Over the past few months, fans have been coming up to me after shows, humming the song and asking for the ID. It’s been amazing to see this type of familiarity with ‘Vision Blurred’ even before it’s out, it’s already in the atmosphere. Now all we have to do now is release it.”
This track, “Vision Blurred,” perfectly encapsulates the trio’s shared vision of creating timeless classics that are sure to captivate audiences across festival stages, large-scale venues, and underground club spaces. It features an irresistible beat layered with Anabel Englund’s melodic vocals.
”Really excited to make my debut on Experts Only,” said CID. “Getting John’s stamp of approval on this one means a lot. With Kaskade, it feels like a full-circle moment working together on a new track after so many years. And the same goes for Anabel. Getting back in the studio with her and writing this felt effortless. I feel like we each brought our signature sounds and strengths to the table, and together we created something truly special.”
KASKADE
Kaskade has solidified himself as a household name in electronic music with an iconic career that has been thriving since the late 1990s. An eight-time GRAMMY Award nominee and winner of Best Male Artist at the iHeartRadio EDM Awards, he has played a pivotal role in bringing electronic music into the mainstream. That influence has recently extended into the world of sports entertainment.
In 2024, Kaskade made history as the first-ever in-game DJ, performing for an audience of more than 123.4 million viewers. He continued this momentum with appearances at the X Games in Ventura, California, a post-Phillies game set in July, and a performance at a LIV Golf tournament. That same year, he also became the first-ever starting grid DJ at a Formula 1 race in Miami.
Beyond these milestones, Kaskade made a surprise appearance at Coachella in 2024 alongside John Summit and Alison Wonderland, followed by a three-hour B2B set with Idris Elba in 2025. His ability to transcend genres has established him not only as an icon within electronic music but also as a crossover force with a broader audience, collaborating with artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Meghan Trainor, and Gwen Stefani. As he continues to push boundaries, it’s hard not to wonder what groundbreaking move he’ll make next.
Widely regarded as one of the best producers in the game, CID has gained recognition from the likes of John Summit, Fisher, Dom Dolla, Diplo, and many more. The GRAMMY Award–winning DJ, producer, and owner of the Night Service Only label consistently delivers club-ready tracks that have solidified him as one of the highest-selling artists on Beatport. Inspired by DJs mixing at his dad’s Spanish restaurant, CID has been mixing since he was 11, and a few years later landed an internship at a professional studio. His dedication to the craft, paired with his ear for career-defining records, has helped CID to become a well-respected staple of the house music community.
With a career spanning nearly a decade, Anabel Englund has grown from being the voice behind iconic house supergroups Pleasure State and Hot Natured to cementing her status as a standout figure in the house music scene. After debuting her album Messing With Magic in 2020, her career has only accelerated, earning 12 No. 1 US Dance Airplay singles in just a few years and becoming the first woman to win iHeartMusic’s “Dance Artist of the Year” in 2023. Having collaborated with many heavyweights in the industry, including Disco Lines, Benny Benassi, Tchami, and more, she continues to push the boundaries of dance music, cultivating a sound that is both dynamic and eclectic while showcasing her talent as a multifaceted songwriter and lyricist.
Although it’s been a couple of weeks since ringing in the New Year, Decadence Arizona has still been buzzing in all of our minds. Relentless Beats truly outdid themselves, putting on one of the best music festivals in AZ history to date. Once again, the festival proved why it remains one of the Southwest’s most anticipated year-end spectacles. As thousands poured into the Phoenix Raceway, the festival transformed the desert into a glowing playground of sound, light, and relentless energy.
Inside Decadence’s Immersive Festival Design
The layout struck a rare balance between scale and flow. Two massive stages anchored the venue with towering LED walls and immersive production that pulled fans in from every angle. Decadence Arizona expanded far beyond its main stages, unfolding like a city built for sound. The Conservatory delivered immersive moments designed for connection, while the Playhouse surged with color, chaos, and nonstop dance energy.
Meanwhile, the Bazaar pulled fans into a sensory detour filled with art, fashion, and flavor. When the intensity peaked, the Quiet Quarters offered space to reset, but don’t be fooled— the silent disco still had the crowd moving at all hours of the night. Together, these environments elevated the festival experience, transforming Decadence into a living, moving landscape of rhythm and escape.
A Roster That Refused to Miss
Although there were many artists worth side questing for, here were some of the favorites worth mentioning.
Day 1
WHETHAN
I have heard a lot about Whethan, and I can easily say he was in the top 3 sets of the festival in my book. His transitions felt cinematic rather than mechanical. It allowed the set to unfold like a story instead of a sequence of tracks. Sweeping synths and layered builds created moments where the entire crowd was absolutely moving. And can we give a quick shoutout to that Richard Finger drop?!
HAMDI
Hamdi delivered one of the weekend’s most infectious performances, blending UK bass weight with undeniable bounce. Another first for me, and I was not disappointed. Each switch-up landed with intention, reminding everyone why his sound thrives on both dancefloor grit and pure fun. As someone who doesn’t stray often from my usual roster, he reminded me why catching a new set/artist can be an eye-opening experience.
MAX STYLER
All I have to say about Max Styler‘s set is: yes. 10/10 would do it again; whatever that man is doing, he’s doing it right.
KAI WACHI B2B SULLIVAN KING
I’ve seen both of these gentlemen many, many times—and each time is better than the last. Kai Wachi b2b Sullivan King unleashed one of the most aggressive and crazy sets of the festival. The duo fused metal intensity with bass brutality, creating a sonic assault that felt both theatrical and raw. Each drop landed like a hammer, yet the chemistry between them kept the chaos sharp and controlled. Whether you want to re-live the chaos or catch up on what you missed, their entire set is now live on YouTube.
Day 2
VOYD
Starting with my favorite set from both days, I can confidently say there is nothing that compares to any show SVDDEN DEATH puts on. But VOYD? That set lives rent-free in my head still to this day. It became almost an immediate statement piece for the weekend. The visuals alone are incomparable to any other artist on the planet. His signature dark aesthetic swallowed the stage whole, pairing guttural bass with apocalyptic visuals that felt ripped from another dimension. VOYD sent shockwaves through the crowd, establishing an early benchmark for intensity—not to mention the gigantic wall of death that I couldn’t even see the end of. I know there is a big debate on his sets being “scary”, but to anyone who is wavering on that fence: try it once. If you don’t like it, you can always catch a different set!
PHRVA
Phrva has been on my list to see since his Espresso flip back in 2024. Not only did that day finally arrive, but I also got to witness the flip live in person. Monumental moment for me, I must say! Rather than overwhelm, he curated space, letting each drop breathe and hit with intention. The crowd locked into his hypnotic flow as he balanced weight and groove with sharp rhythmic control. I solemnly swear to never miss a Phrva set from this day forward.
TAPE B
Yo Tape B! That was a wonky set! Blending dubstep grit with unexpected throwbacks and vocal flips, he kept the crowd guessing while staying locked into a cohesive groove. The set moved effortlessly between heavy and playful, never sacrificing pacing or crowd control. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever be done ranting about that man.
SUBTRONICS
If you know me, you know how hard I will always go for Subtronics. His production skills are unparalleled; if Subtronics is playing at something I’m attending, I will always be there. Flipping between warped sound design, cartoonish flair, and earth-shaking drops, the crowd couldn’t help but fully surrender to the madness. Give me weird music, that’s what I want; we love some wonky ass music!

Where the Magic Hit Hardest
Now for the defining moment of the weekend: GRiZ‘s New Year’s countdown set. I knew there was going to be a sea of people, but man, did the Decadence crowd show up. As the clock ticked toward midnight, you could feel the anticipation that rippled through the crowd. When the drop aligned with the turn of the year, pyro errupted and giant balloons drifted down onto the crowd as GRiZ dropped the best part of Innerbloom by RÜFÜS DU SOL. That’s right, you know the part I’m referring to.
Magical doesn’t even begin to describe that moment. It was such a euphoric experience, where everyone’s soul connected and felt like a shared exhale. Seeing the pure happiness on everyone’s faces around me reminded me of why I love what I do. Easily one of the best moments of my entire 28 years of being on this earth. The feeling was truly indescribable in the best way.

The Countdown Ensues
Beyond the music, Decadence Arizona shone in its attention to experience. Vendor villages and lounge pockets gave attendees space to recharge without stepping too far from the action. Hydration stations, clear signage, and efficient entry points kept the weekend running smoothly from start to finish. Moreover, the crowd itself added to the magic. From decked-out rave fits to glitter-covered countdown crews, Decadence once again cultivated a space where expression felt encouraged and celebrated.
In the end, Decadence AZ didn’t just close out the year—it launched the next one with authority. With genre-spanning performances and a countdown that will live rent-free in memories for years, the festival delivered on every front. Mission accomplished, Arizona. The bar has officially been raised for New Year’s, and the countdown to Decadence 2026 has already begun.
If you’ve been keeping up with Of The Trees, then you know something big is coming. After wiping his socials and linking a new website across his profiles and stories, he returns with his first solo single in almost two years. “Dolori” is his first look into his highly anticipated forthcoming album, Moonglade Park. Fans have been waiting for this track for a couple of years now, since it was most notably played during Of The Trees’ debut Electric Forest set and during his closing performance at his own multi-day event, Camp Alderwild. Check out the track below to step into the newest place to chill, Moonglade Park.
“Dolori” sets an emotional tone for Moonglade Park, transcending listeners through a spiritual and sonic journey. Goosebumps are an inevitable byproduct of this track, as the deep yet soft percussive bass layers with hypnotic vocals, ambient textures, and introspective sound design. Each bassline sends waves of emotion as Of The Trees consistently excels at landing at the intersection of nature, sound, and story.
Set across a series of diverse natural environments, his music video reflects the landscapes that inspired the forthcoming album and underscores the organic relationship between the music and the world that shaped it. The visuals move back and forth between a dancer immersed in a lush forest surrounded by colorful flowers, atmospheric scenes in the desert, rain-soaked moments in the forest, and firelit scenes where she dances outside beside a hauntingly beautiful flame.
Rather than following a linear path, the video flows intuitively between these settings, mirroring the track itself. Throughout, the dancer reaches what can only be described as a flow state, staying deeply in tune with the bass and the natural world surrounding her. Of The Trees directed fans to “Visit moongladepark.com,” offering an invitation into the world of Moonglade Park.
This release of “Dolori” is our first dip into the waters of Moonglade Park, Of The Trees’ long-awaited full-length album, filled with genre-defying tracks that blend downtempo electronica, cinematic ambient, and experimental hip-hop. Drawing inspiration from iconic albums such as Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy, this LP is meant to be experienced in full, with the intention to slow down, reflect, and reconnect, especially in times of great uncertainty when hope is most needed. Check back for full coverage of the album as it drops, and don’t forget to keep up with all things Of The Trees at the links below.
Everyone loves a Super Future and Wreckno collaboration, and this time, it’s not just a single or SoundCloud mix. Today, we’ve been blessed with a full EP! With six highly anticipated tracks, including “BABY,” “YES,” and “LUNCH,” this new EP, ASS THROWERS ANONYMOUS, solidifies their collaboration as more than a side project; instead, it’s a true creative partnership!
“Now that the EP is coming around, it’s crazy to think that we’ve been writing and re-writing these tracks between our solo endeavors,” said Super Future. “Some of these tracks are very fresh new ideas, but a couple have been reformatted a bit like since 2022-ish, actually. By this point though, we feel like we’ve solidified our solo careers enough to get back to the fun vibes with no boundaries or real rules and do THIS.”
“This honestly just represents the fun that we wanna have outside our own projects and I think that honest creativity is felt in these tracks. We pretty much always take it back to “does this fit the vibe of that first iconic mix we did?” Even as times and tastes change in the scene, pure fun trap/twerk/bass/house/whatever still feels undeniably fun anywhere you are.”
As always, Super Future and Wreckno continue to keep things fresh by bringing a strong sense of variety to their releases. The ASS THROWERS ANONYMOUS EP perfectly encapsulates their ability to transcend genres, blending house-infused beats with bass-forward production, layered with Wreckno’s unmistakable vocal presence and unapologetic attitude. It unfolds as a showcase of Super Future and Wreckno’s range, with three tracks already familiar to fans.
Previously released cuts like “LUNCH”, “BABY!” and “YES!” each highlight a different side of their chemistry, moving from playful swagger to bold, high-energy moments and cheeky, dancefloor-ready confidence. The remaining tracks push things further, with “WEEKENDS” channeling Wreckno’s signature attitude over Super Future’s funky bass. “BANG!” leans more into a trap-inspired sound packed with bass-face-worthy sound design, and “SIGNAL VIP” delivers heavy bass. While all of their releases have been hits, this project stands as a true testament to the growth both artists have made in their careers, setting the tone for future collaborations.
“I think the beautiful thing about ATA is that it’s a passion project between two friends who just love each other and have the ability to tap back into it whenever we decide to,” said Wreckno. “We came, we popped off in 2019, then we focused on our solo careers! I’m so grateful we came back together in big ole 2026 to release our second collaborative body of work. I still love the first EP, but listening to the second EP, I can hear the years of growth on both ends. Nick’s production has leveled up even more, which is crazy because it’s always been great. My writing and vocal abilities have also gotten a lot better. It just feels like a fully realized version of what we were aiming for in 2019. Feels very special!”
Beyond the music, Super Future and Wreckno have gone above and beyond in executing their shared mission of creating safe and inclusive spaces that promote individuality and community. Wreckno stands as one of electronic music’s most visible queer voices, while Super Future continues pushing the boundaries of modern bass, culminating in a project that reflects the trajectory of a more open, collaborative genre rooted in self-expression.
This new EP kicks off an exciting year for both Super Future and Wreckno as they prepare for major performances, including their Mission Ballroom debut on Valentine’s Day. Both artists will play individual sets, followed by a B2B ASS THROWERS ANONYMOUS joint performance. Check out their socials below to make sure you don’t miss a chance to catch them live!
For the third year, zombies took over Apocalypse: Zombieland. Brain-eating zombies were defeated by two relentless days of heavy bass, dubstep, riddim, and drum and bass on November 28-29, 2025. The non-stop headbanging and mosh pits made Apocalypse: Zombieland a Mission Success!
The Queen Mary Waterfront was transformed into a world in ruins, with graffiti-painted shipping containers, a wrecked semi-truck, eerie lighting, and pyro galore. Apocalypse: Zombieland featured four distinct themed stages: Apocalypse Arena, Zombieland Citadel, Quarantine Zone, and Necropolis District—each with its unique personality. The main stage, Apocalypse Arena, was upgraded to feature a massive zombie head with scanning eyes. The hard-hitting lineup included over 80 artists, with sets from NERO, Zomboy, Wooli, Ganja White Night, NGHTMRE, and ATLiens, among many others!

At the main stage, Apocalypse Arena, the colossal illuminated zombie head served as a terrifying and awe-inspiring focal point. This was the place for the biggest sound, stunning visuals, fireworks, and massive pyrotechnics. Fans immersed themselves in heavy-hitting dubstep, mainstream bass, and melodic closers, getting lost in the mosh pits and headbanging to sets by Illenium, Excision, LAYZ, and more!

Next, fans could get down and gritty at Zombieland Citadel (The Gritty Fortress), which was designed as a decaying fortress turned chaotic. The atmosphere here was raw and full-throttle, emphasizing high-energy sets of gritty dubstep, hybrid trap, riddim, and experimental bass. Prominent names such as FuntCase B2B Midnight Tyrannosaurus, and BARELY ALIVE threw down!

Quarantine Zone (The Drum & Bass Sanctuary) featured a non-stop, infectious energy that kept the crowd dancing all day. This stage was dedicated to pure drum and bass, with artists like Andy C, Netsky, and Koven delivering high-speed beats that electrified the audience.
Last but not least, there was the Necropolis District (The Dark Industrial Hub), designed as a crossover stage built between industrial shipping containers and structures. It provided a darker, more underground feel, perfect for exploring the more chaotic and experimental side of bass music. This stage featured riddim, dark dubstep, tear-out, and experimental bass, hosting fast-rising underground acts like Eprom, Gentlemen’s Club, and Benda B2B OG Nixin, among others.
Everything about Apocalypse: Zombieland was what it needed to be, and tickets for next year are on sale now. General admission tickets start at $139.99. VIP tickets start at $289.99 for the Summer of the Living Dead, taking over the Queen Mary at Long Beach on June 19 and 20.
