Flowdan is a groundbreaking British MC and one of the most distinctive voices in grime and electronic music. The East London artist began his career with garage collective Pay As U Go before becoming a founding member of grime pioneers Roll Deep, helping shape the sound of the genre over more than two decades.
His unmistakable delivery and dark, war-ready style have made him a defining presence across grime, dubstep, drum & bass, and dancehall. Early collaborations with The Bug—including the iconic Hyperdub anthem ‘Skeng’—established Flowdan as a cult figure, while releases with artists including DVA, Jubei, Kahn, Duke & Jones, and Chase & Status expanded his influence across the global bass scene.
In 2023, Flowdan reached new heights with ‘Rumble,’ his explosive collaboration with Skrillex and Fred again.. The worldwide anthem earned a Grammy Award in 2024, making Flowdan the first British MC to receive the honor. He followed its success with ‘Baddadan,’ created alongside Chase & Status, Bou, Irah, Trigga, and Takura, which climbed global charts and earned gold certification.
Beyond the microphone, Flowdan is an accomplished producer and the founder of Spentshell, a platform supporting the next generation of grime, dancehall, and forward-thinking bass music.

Yheti and Toadface are two of underground bass music’s most distinct and enduring voices, and also brothers. Toadface launched his project in 2015, drawing musical inspiration from a lifelong passion for gaming culture and the virtual worlds he immersed himself in.

Together, they’re fun and energetic on stage while delivering a genre defying live set with audio and visual elements that mesh together tastefully.
The Sleight of Sound Tour marks the brothers’ most ambitious collaboration to date: 25+ dates across the USA from late August through December 2026. Every show features an extended two-hour B2B AV set, with Yheti and Toadface running their own visuals live from the stage.

Emerging during a transformative moment in global electronic culture, his emotionally charged production style and genre-blurring approach helped reshape the sound of festival music, internet-era electronic culture, and modern bass music worldwide.
Across acclaimed releases including Not All The Beautiful Things, Anomaly, Motions, and the 2025 collaborative EP The Quiet That Hurts with Dutch producer Buunshin, What So Not has consistently evolved beyond genre expectations—blending trap, drum & bass, cinematic songwriting, analog experimentation, and melodic electronic production into a singular artistic identity.

Known for collaborations with artists including Skrillex, RL Grime, Oliver Tree, Killer Mike, Toto, and Daniel Johns, What So Not has built a catalog that balances large-scale festival energy with emotional depth and boundary-pushing production.

Hailing from the south of France, HURTBOX (Rudy Guillem) has quickly become one of the most explosive names in underground bass music, known for hard-hitting, distorted sound design and relentless energy that’s made him a favorite in the dubstep and riddim scenes. First cutting his teeth alongside his twin brother HOL! as the duo STRANGER TWINS, he’s since built a solo catalog of underground anthems — including “KNOCKOUT” with SHIVERZ, “RUN DAT AGAIN” with Aweminus, and “SAGA” with HOL! — plus his fan-favorite ‘UNCHAINED’ mixtape series of exclusive, unreleased heaters.
With sold-out headline shows and genre-defining drops fueling his rise, HURTBOX brings a no-holds-barred live experience: pure aggression, precision sound design, and wall-to-wall energy from the first drop to the last.

In October 2025 the trio dropped their debut full-length, Hostile Frequencies — a 20-track statement led by the singles “Burn For You” (the first release to feature the group’s own vocals) and “The Device,” later reimagined in a 15-track remix package featuring DirtySnatcha, HEKLER, XaeboR, and more. The album fueled a coast-to-coast Hostile Frequencies Tour that ran nearly sold out across two phases and 40+ North American dates, from Columbus to Toronto to Seattle.
Between their own Ransom Recordings imprint and their curated Ransom Camp takeover at Denver’s Ogden Theatre, Hostage Situation has built a world of their own — equal parts crushing low-end and genuine emotional weight.

Gentlemens Club are right at the front of the pack when it comes to bass music right now, leading the next wave with genre-blurring productions and seriously raucous DJ sets built for chaos.
What started as two solo operators deep in the bubbling days of Dubstep, Soloman and 50 Carrot became Gentlemens Club in 2017, and from that point on, there was no looking back.
At its core, Gentlemens Club is about exploring every flavour of bass music. One minute you’re locked into UK Garage and Bassline pressure, the next you’re firing through Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Grime and everything in between. It’s that freedom in their sound that’s made them one of the most exciting acts to catch live right now.
Over the past few years, they’ve taken that energy worldwide, touring across North America, the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia, with standout festival moments at EDC Las Vegas, Shambhala, Reading & Leeds, Rampage, Beats For Love and Nocturnal Wonderland, to name just a few. Wherever they land, the mission is the same: push systems to their limit and keep crowds moving.
On the production side, they’re just as fearless. Known for boundary-pushing sound design, Gentlemens Club have clocked releases on heavyweight labels like Atlantic, Deadbeats, Interscope and UKF, alongside official remixes for Marshmello, Jess Glynne, Saweetie and Yungblud, plus collaborations with Jauz, Disrupta, Spyda and DJ Q. Add 100 million+ streams and regular support from BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and Rinse FM, and it’s clear they’re not just part of the bass conversation, they’re steering it.
If you like your bass loud, unpredictable and built for the dance, Gentlemens Club are exactly where you need to be.

Make music like no one’s listening” is the motto of Aaron Carmack, and appropriately so. His story is a three-part series, divided into factions of past, present, and future. Every element of the past, as Aaron Carmack would explain, has had an effect on who he is today as both a writer/producer and DJ. Being born and raised in San Francisco, attending and dropping out of college in Long Beach, CA, moving to Oahu for three years and living off income from monthly releases on Bandcamp – Carmack’s music is an expression and perpetual reflection of all of it.
Constantly translating personal experience into his craft, Carmack finds inspiration from a range of sources, from his friends and fellow musicians in production cliques, Team Supreme and Soulection, to his travels and numerous sold out tours of five continents over the past two years, sharing stages with folks like Hudson Mohawke, Just Blaze, Cashmere Cat, and Diplo. These influences, combined with a hunger for discovering the newest, most cutting-edge sounds on sites like Soundcloud, are some of the ingredients to the now-Los Angeles-based producer’s distinct creative process.
Like a hinge to the doorway between dance music and hip hop, Carmack’s musical output increasingly occupies a void frontier between the two genres, identified by his contemporaries, fans, and himself purely as “Carmack”. With a devotion to the studio and a grinding work ethic, the inventive producer aims to release a prolific amount of music in coming months, all while performing as often as possible.
