Heavy, strange and impossible to ignore, CYCLOPS has become one of the defining names in dubstep’s new wave. The Boston-bred producer started the project in his college dorm room, driven by a love for heavy music and weird sounds. He has since built a catalog known for inventive sound design, gritty low end and drops that hit as hard in a packed room as they do online.

After early releases on Never Say Die: Black Label, Disciple Round Table and Gud Vibrations, CYCLOPS broke through with “Tear Jerker,” the title track of his 2023 EP on Disciple. The track spent months as one of the most sought-after IDs in bass music before release, drew support from Excision, Subtronics, DJ Diesel and KAYZO, and became a festival staple.

The collaborations followed: “OPEN UR EYE” with REZZ, “Tick Tock” with Flux Pavilion and “Floot Loops” with Wooli, plus remixes for Seven Lions, RIOT TEN and ATLiens. In 2026 he teamed up with NGHTMRE on “Computah,” a Gud Vibrations single built around a viral TikTok catchphrase, proof that his sense of humor is as sharp as his sound design.

On stage, CYCLOPS has brought that energy to EDC Las Vegas, Beyond Wonderland Chicago, Forbidden Kingdom and Escape: Psycho Circus, along with headline rooms across North America. His world of all-seeing eyes, hellish landscapes and gothic architecture is a natural match for the immersive halls of Otherworld Philadelphia.
