Valentine’s Day is usually associated with candlelit dinners, flowers, and romance. For me, it was all about heavy bass, wild energy, and a hot and sweaty night at Sunbar. When I heard OG Nixin was headlining a Valentine’s Day show, I knew this was the perfect way to celebrate. Instead of the usual dinner reservations, I secured tickets to what promised to be a night of headbanging and pure chaos.
Music:
As I arrived at Sunbar, the energy was already palpable in the sea of fans from front to back. The bass rumbled through the floor as the openers took the stage. Of course, this was when I noticed I had forgotten my earplugs, per usual! Local favorites Average Joe and Zeuz kicked things off, throwing down hard-hitting sets that got the crowd hyped. The energy continued to build with Chibs, followed by USAYBFLOW who brought a mix of deep bass and fast-paced beats. Whenever I have the pleasure of catching a Chibs or USAYBFLOW set, they always leave me out of breath and sweaty as hell. This time was no different!
The moment OG Nixin took the decks, it was clear it was time to buckle up for an intense ride. Bass rattled my ear drums and I was really regretting forgetting those earplugs. Opening up the set, he brought out Chibs and USAYBFLOW sending everyone in the room into a spiral. He ran through a setlist packed with some of his gnarliest tracks. I lost my mind at the second drop of the “Shelter – OG Nixin Remix” and HOL!’s remix of “Amnesia”. He teased some new collabs and played some spins on classics like Burial, with every drop sending shockwaves through the crowd.

Community:
What made the night even more special was the sense of community. Whether you were there with your partner, your rave family, or even solo, everyone was connected by the music. Strangers became friends as we headbanged in unison, hands in the air, feeling every beat. From a smile exchanged between two strangers or a high-five after a sick drop, it felt like we were all part of something bigger in that moment. It wasn’t just about hearing the music—it was about feeling it in every inch of your body, seeing it in the lights, and living it in the moment.
Sunbar’s sound system delivered every growl and wub with precision, amplifying the experience to another level. His visuals combined with the lighting and lasers added an extra dimension, syncing perfectly with the music’s intensity. The atmosphere was electric, a living, breathing entity in itself, and it elevated OG Nixin’s set into something transcendental. It was a full sensory overload in the best way possible.

Overall:
As the night came to a close, sweaty and exhilarated, I knew I had made the right choice in how I spent Valentine’s Day. I left feeling an overwhelming abundance of gratitude and couldn’t help but reflect on the power of music to connect us in ways that words often can’t. It wasn’t about roses and chocolates—it was about losing ourselves in the music, surrounded by people who shared the same love for bass. OG Nixin’s set was more than just a performance; it was a reminder of the magic that happens when the crowd, the beats, and the vibe all align. I knew, without a doubt, this Valentine’s Day was one for the books. It is a memory I’ll carry with me for years to come.
On Saturday, February 8, Of The Trees brought his Moonglade Tour to Brooklyn and became the first deep bass artist to play at the newly renovated Brooklyn Paramount. The state-of-the-art facility from the 1920s received a spectacular facelift by Live Nation to transform it into Brooklyn’s newest music cathedral. Of The Trees took full advantage of the venue’s vaulted Baroque architecture and acoustics to produce one of the best bass shows I’ve seen in Brooklyn since the pandemic.
Of The Trees had his cabin set up in the middle of the stage, adorned with plants and giving a natural vibe to the production. The sound quality in the expansive main hall was incredible and the supporting artists did a great job of setting the mood for the evening. FLY got the event started and played a bunch of the memorable flips from his recent Sapphire Mixtape.
EAZYBAKED played next and kept the good vibes flowing. The duo featured a few tracks from its newly released Respawn EP and the crowd ate it up. While the weather outside was snowy and cold, the beats inside felt warm and cozy. The Australian artist Opiuo was the final support act, and he delivered a third masterful set. Opiuo played some of his collabs with ASHEZ and most of the saucy updates from his A Shape of Sound remix EP.

Of The Trees took the stage for his closing set from 11:30 to 1:00 and displayed why the bass artist has amassed such a loyal, adoring fanbase. His edits and transitions were smooth and he let the beautiful music do the talking. His lighting and LED visuals complemented the music well, highlighting the classic features of the venue and creating a spectacle to match the mood of the music.
Towards the end of the set, Of The Trees welcomed Freddy Todd to the stage and they played out a few of their BLAAP collab tracks. But that wouldn’t be the last from BLAAP, because, in true New York fashion, Memory Palace hosted an afterparty with BLAAP until 4 am in The Room at Superior Ingredients.

Moon Lvnding didn’t make it to the afters, but big props to all those who braved the overnight snowstorm to make it across Brooklyn to the former site of Output. Special thanks to the photographer known as shutter.klick for providing amazing photographs of the Moonglade Tour, including the above image from the Superior Ingredients afterparty.
The Moonglade Tour creeps closer to its conclusion, spending its final two weeks traversing the Southeast. Of The Trees will make appearances in the Carolinas, Florida, and Virginia before the tour finale in Atlanta on March 1. For all remaining dates and tickets, head over to the ticketing site.

This Valentine’s Day, the dynamic electronic duo EAZYBAKEDreleased a soulful, intimate 4-track EP, Respawn, a defining moment in their artistic evolution. Known for their electrifying performances and contemporary take on bass music, this EP diverges from their heavy bass roots to create a more emotive and powerful display of their real-life experiences. Despite this shift in sound, fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of Respawn as EAZYBAKED has been sharing glimpses into the EP in live sets over the last year.
“This EP is a testament to love in all its forms — the love we share with others and the vital act of self-love,” said EAZYBAKED. “[Okay]Kayo’s voice was a major source of inspiration and opened up our minds to more possibilities.”
The first track, “ThewayUwalk” begins with calming nature sounds before the beat gradually picks up, setting the stage for OkayKayo’s ethereal vocals as he softly sings, “I know that you are mine.” His voice drifts through the mix, creating a dreamlike atmosphere before panning to a man’s voice, who reflects on the journey of self-discovery: “A symbolic journey intertwined with the fabric of our being. As beings, we are in constant evolution, yet the process of navigating the horizons often feels like a desperate attempt to outrun the shadows of our own past.”
As his words fade, the beat builds once more, seamlessly weaving back into OkayKayo’s mesmerizing vocals. The track continues to evolve, leading to a powerful closing moment where the man’s voice returns with a final, thought-provoking statement: “You gotta just go for it. Don’t think about what came after or what comes before. You just gotta bend your knees, take a deep breath, and jump. And you might think, ‘What if I fall?’ Oh no — what if you don’t? What if you’re flying?” The track leaves listeners with a sense of reflection, peace, and a reminder to embrace where you are in life.
“’ThewayUwalk’ came during another period of big change in my life,” said Okaykayo. “The first line, ‘I’ve been by myself in times of change but I know it’s okay,’ captures that moment perfectly. Coming off the hype of ‘Respawn,’ I really wanted to impress the boys and initially went in hard with bold vocals. But Eric told me, ‘Less is more for this one,’ which made me rethink my approach. I tapped into a softer, chill tone that ended up fitting the track beautifully. In a way, these two songs are like opposites: ‘Respawn’ was about losing someone and wishing for a reset, while ‘ThewayUwalk’ is about finding love again and feeling at peace with where you are. I hope this song can bring some comfort to those going through change and maybe are feeling alone. Knowing I always have myself is something that has literally saved my life in the past.“
The second track of the EP, “WithoutU” with the bakers (EAZYBAKED’s side project), carries warm, hopeful energy, with the phrase “I don’t want to be without you” repeating throughout the song, layered over a harmonizing, uplifting beat. A deeply sentimental and relatable track, it resonates with fans navigating the complexities of new and old love.
“Our personal experiences deeply influenced the creative process,” EAZYBAKED shared. “Andrew was embarking on a new chapter as a single father, establishing his own independent life. I was experiencing the exhilaration of new love and the transformative experience of leaving my hometown and family home to embrace a new beginning.”
Reflecting on the emotional depth of the project, they added, “This project holds a very special place in our hearts, and we hope this music helps people in the same ways it helped us. <3”
“The title track, ‘Respawn,’ was created the night before our Electric Forest adventure,” said EAZYBAKED. I [Eric] presented a core melodic idea to Kayo, knowing he would be able to bring it to life. The instrumental foundation we sent him was titled ‘Respawn,’ and he masterfully elevated it. Collaborating with Kayo is an effortless and truly inspiring experience. We openly share feedback and trust each other’s artistic vision.”
The title track, “Respawn,” opens with a light beat and nature sounds, accompanied by a man speaking about life and its challenges. He reflects, “Responding mirrors the cycle of life, where we encounter challenges, experience failures, and ultimately find the strength to rise again.” As his words fade, the energy shifts—a catchier, more upbeat rhythm takes hold, layered with OkayKayo’s harmonious vocals. He begins with the poignant line, “I can’t move on. It is taking too long.“ Throughout the song, he wrestles with the struggle of needing to move forward but feeling uncertain about whether he can. Ultimately, he realizes that life is about facing adversity with resilience, as we all have the human capacity to learn and respawn from our experiences. The track concludes with a powerful realization: “I can’t take too long, because one day we will all be gone.”
“‘Respawn’ was the first song that really clicked with the boys and me,” said Okaykayo. “I was at my good friend Emma Lee’s house when Eric sent me the track, and I’m not even sure he meant for me to put vocals on it at first—but I did, and we all ended up loving it. At the time, I was going through a brutal breakup with my best friend and girlfriend, which left me feeling blocked out, like she wouldn’t even ‘respawn.’ I was also dealing with this deep desire to disappear and restart in a new life. Writing that song was cathartic—it helped me process those heavy emotions and sparked a lot of personal growth. It also brought Eric and I closer. We’re both super emotional and similar in many ways, and I think that really shines in the music. I hope listeners can feel the emotion the boys and I both put into this song and I hope it can help them in the same ways it helped me to make it.”
“Therapy,” the shortest track on the EP, begins with a sound reminiscent of flowing water before gradually building into a light, uplifting rhythm. With no distinct vocals, the track evokes emotions of hope and love, making it the perfect soundtrack to hold your loved ones close or dance with your rave fam.
“We intend for listeners to experience a profound emotional journey — a spectrum of hope, love, healing, growth, sorrow, joy, vulnerability, authenticity, and pure emotion,” said EAZYBAKED.
Reflecting on the creative process, they shared, “Finalizing the artwork and bringing this project to fruition presented our biggest challenge. This endeavor marked a significant milestone for us—our first time collaborating with a vocalist and exploring music with this level of emotional depth. It was incredibly liberating to trust our instincts and push the creative boundaries to this point. While releasing this project feels daunting, we approach it with a sense of excitement and vulnerability.”
EAZYBAKED is hitting the road in 2025 with an electrifying lineup of shows alongside some of the biggest names in bass music. With a fresh run of shows starting up again on February 26 in Richmond, VA, the duo will join Of The Trees on his Moonglade Tour for a string of dates across the East Coast, including stops in Charlotte, Tallahassee, and Atlanta. Later in March, they’ll take the stage in Miami for a massive show with Zeds Dead and Subtronics, before heading to Tacoma, WA, in April to support Black Tiger Sex Machine at the Tacoma Dome.

With the rise of drum & bass in the U.S., artists are stepping into the forefront and leading the charge. Among these artists is Ghost in Real Life(G.I.R.L.), a dynamic, groundbreaking figure in the electronic music scene who uses diverse influences to craft her unique sound. In the ever-evolving world of electronic music, few blend genres and emotions as seamlessly as Ghost in Real Life. Known for her innovative approach to music and bold presence in the drum & bass scene, Ghost in Real Life — named Maggie Beltran in real life — has carved out a distinctive space in the industry.
Before breaking into the electronic music scene, Maggie explored multiple projects, including her high school “coffee shop acoustic moniker,” maggiesinacup, and her college punk band, The Inferiors. These ventures showcase her ability to embrace diverse sounds and use them to her advantage.
Aside from these two projects, another defining moment in her journey came during college, when she faced gender biases in her production classes. “Nobody wanted me to work with them because I was a girl,” said Maggie. “So, I put on a blonde wig, created this project called marillyn, and taught myself how to produce pop music.”
Launched in 2019, Ghost in Real Life was born out of Maggie’s desire to explore electronic music on her terms. The name itself is an acronym for G.I.R.L., chosen to reflect feminine energy without being overtly feminist.
“I wanted something that felt feminine forward but subtle,” she explains.
During the 2020 pandemic, the project came to life when Maggie’s friend loaned her some DJ equipment. She jumped on the livestreaming trend, where she began to hone her craft and attract a loyal following.
Ghost in Real Life’s music has always been rooted in experimentation, showcasing her ability to excel across genres like trap and dubstep. She has since found her place in drum & bass, a genre she describes as rebellious and raw.
“When I heard experimental trap, I was hooked,” Maggie said. “It felt like the punk music I grew up with,” she says. “Eventually, I leaned into drum & bass because it combined the energy I loved with a sense of structure.” After debuting her first drum & bass track, “Youth,” Maggie was hooked.
“It was just so good,” she admits. “I couldn’t not continue doing drum & bass after that.”
Her performances, such as opening for Chase & Status, have cemented her status as a force in the scene. Reflecting on that moment, she shares, “I’ll never forget stepping on stage at the Great Hall, seeing the massive crowd, and thinking, ‘This is exactly where I’m supposed to be.’”
For Ghost In Real Life, music is more than just fun sounds to dance to, it is a statement she shares with the world. Through her tracks, she hopes to inspire confidence and resilience in her fans.
“I’ve always felt trapped in my head because of ADHD, so my music is about finding freedom,” Maggie explains. “I want people to feel empowered to stand up for themselves, be happy, and embrace their emotions.”
Beyond her music, Maggie is passionate about advocating for confidence and self-expression, particularly among women in the industry. Having faced challenges herself, she understands the hurdles women encounter in male-dominated spaces like music production.
“There’s a deficit in confidence among women producers, and I hope I can instill in them the courage to stand up and say, ‘You can do this,’” she shares. Maggie’s determination to empower others is as integral to her journey as her music, making her a role model for aspiring artists.
Maggie’s journey is far from over. With plans to incorporate punk influences into her drum & bass tracks and expand her creative boundaries, Ghost in Real Life is only getting started. “I’ve been listening to a lot of Sex Pistols and Bad Religion lately,” she says. “I’m excited to see how I can bring that raw punk energy into my music.”
As Ghost in Real Life continues to rise, she’s not just making music. She’s creating a movement; one that’s bold and unapologetically her own. Don’t miss out on the chance to catch her as direct support for Muzz on January 24 at Echoplex in Los Angeles, and at a 360 show with Beacon on February 7 at Kingdom in Austin. Be sure to follow her on social media to stay updated on her music, upcoming shows, and more!

Relentless Beats has big plans for more epic events in 2025, so be sure to follow it on social media to be the first to find out about the latest event announcements.
The boys of ISOKNOCK recently brought their high-powered collaboration project to their hometown for two epic sold-out nights in San Diego 4EVR. Those lucky enough to attend this homecoming at Snapdragon Stadium were treated to an unforgettable experience with amazing acts, production, and music.
The excitement surrounding both nights of San Diego 4EVR could be felt from the parking lot to the entrance, the energy was electric. With swarms of fans teeming to enter the grounds on day one, the festival experienced challenges that resulted in hour-long waits for some GA patrons. This was fixed on night two with increased security remedying that issue. Night one brought out big names like Peekaboo and Madeon before ISOKNOCK made their big entrance. The duo drove an old-school Honda onto the stage with Knock2 in the driver’s seat and ISOxo sitting on top. The second night featured Glaive and the OG himself, RL Grime. The event climaxed with RL Grime joining ISOKNOCK on stage in a B2B for the ages.
The production for both nights was unmatched. The stage embodied the classic ISOKNOCK 90’s grunge vibe with steel beams, bright lights, a silhouetted ISOKNOCK logo, a Batman-style ISOKNOCK spotlight, and pyrotechnics galore. ISOKNOCK had an amazing blend of music throughout each of their sets. From bass house to dubstep to trap to house. They effortlessly blended it all, leaving the crowd guessing and hyped for more.

These two nights were some of the biggest parties I’ve experienced. The crowd participation and interaction truly made you want to party nonstop and was very immersive. The stage featured a walkway to the middle of the crowd that Knock2 and ISOxo used to get the crowd into an absolute frenzy. Knock2 manned the decks while playing ISOxo’s songs so that ISOxo could interact with the crowd and vice versa. On night two, ISOKNOCK surprised everyone when they appeared atop a tower at the heart of the crowd where they played for 20 minutes before running through the audience and onto the stage. During each set, ISOxo climbed the tower and shined a spotlight into the crowd to incite massive mosh pits. There were mosh pits across all sections of the crowd, GA and VIP alike. Luckily, the pits were respectful with moshers protecting and picking up those who fell. I even saw someone holding up another’s shoe and phone to ensure they got them back.
The weekend was topped off with ISOKNOCK revealing their very own festival in 2025—NITEHARTS FEST. The duo proclaimed that they want to bring music and culture back to their hometown San Diego and this festival will be a big part of that goal.

Acclaimed producer Jade Cicada is celebrated for captivating audiences with his distinctive soundscapes. He is known for blending intricate electronic beats with jazz influences. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Cicada honed his skills in jazz theory and sound design. Using these foundations, he is able to push creative boundaries and craft complex, sophisticated compositions. This unique fusion of elements has made Jade Cicada’s sound both innovative and unmistakably recognizable.
Nearly two years ago, he released his widely acclaimed LP Pressure Gamut and has since remained quiet—until last week’s release of his new track, “Frame Shift.” This release is significant due to the time between projects and because it marks a shift in Jade Cicada’s music production as he transitions from Ableton to Bitwig.
“This tune [Frame Shift] was heavily inspired by beat scene type music of the early 2010s,” said Jade Cicada. “Sunclef’s 2011 tune “Droski” is definitely the biggest influence in the direction of ‘Frame Shift.’ I’ve been wanting to make music in that style but with a heavier bass/dance production to it for a long time. A goal of mine is to make more melodically and harmonically driven boom-bappy bangers like this one.”
“Frame Shift“ offers listeners a glimpse of Jade Cicada’s signature style while showcasing a more mature, polished sound. It pushes boundaries and hints at the exciting future of his music. The single explores glitch-heavy beats layered with ethereal melodies and rich synths. Using Bitwig has also added a fresh and dynamic dimension to his production.
Jade Cicada is also launching the highly anticipated ‘Break The Hold’ tour in 2025. The tour will span nine dates and feature two rare festival appearances—his return to Electric Forest and a debut at Lightning In A Bottle. Break The Hold promises to deliver immersive live performances that blend intricate audio design with stunning visuals. Renowned visual artist Tenorless will be bringing Jade’s sonic landscapes to life. A powerhouse lineup of supporting acts, including EPROM, Resonant Language, Cool Customer, Mr. Carmack, and Mad Zach, will further elevate the experience.
This tour marks a bold new chapter in his career, highlighting his dedication to delivering unforgettable, boundary-pushing performances. Stay up to date on Jade Cicada’s music and grab tickets for his upcoming tour through the links below.
