Griz

Bass

Grant Richard Kwiecinski, known as GRiZ, is an electronic music producer and multi-instrumentalist originally from Southfield, Michigan, and currently based in Denver, Colorado. He built his reputation by fusing heavy dubstep and bass music with live saxophone performances, creating a signature electro-soul and future funk aesthetic. His catalog includes defining albums like the 2015 release "Say It Loud" and 2016's "Good Will Prevail" on his own All Good Records, alongside massive collaborative anthems like "Griztronics" with Subtronics on Cyclops Recordings. A staple of the North American festival circuit, he has headlined major events such as Electric Forest and Bonnaroo while hosting his annual charity-driven GRiZMAS shows in Detroit. After stepping away for a hiatus in late 2023, he returned in 2025 to launch his curated Valley of the Seven Stars festival in Virginia and release the "GEMiNI EP". In 2026, he continues his momentum with new singles like "BBFL" and a co-headlining event at The Gorge Amphitheatre. GRiZ built a lane that very few artists could pull off, turning funk, saxophone, bass music, and real sense-of-self into a project that feels both wildly fun and genuinely uplifting.

John Summit

Tech House

John Summit is the clearest example of how a modern house artist can come out of the underground pipeline and still become a massive mainstream force without fully losing the dancefloor DNA. At his core, his sound is rooted in Chicago house and tech house, but what really made him explode was how well he translated that into huge, emotionally charged records that work just as hard at festivals as they do in clubs. He has a real instinct for big hooks, tension-building breakdowns, and those hands-in-the-air payoff moments, but unlike a lot of crossover acts, his music still feels connected to actual club culture rather than just EDM spectacle. A big part of what makes him so relevant is his versatility as a DJ. One night he is playing major hits and big singalong moments on a huge festival stage, another he is leaning into deeper, more underground house for a Burning Man-style crowd, and another he is going heavier and bassier for a place like Red Rocks. Between his sets, his online presence, and Experts Only, he has built a full world around his taste and energy. Whether you love him or think he represents the more commercial side of where house has gone, he is undeniably one of the defining dance artists of this era and one of the few names right now with true crossover pull across club kids, festival crowds, and casual fans.

Subtronics

Dubstep

Jesse Kardon, known as Subtronics, is an electronic music producer and DJ originating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is recognized for his intricate sound design and heavy bass music, blending complex rhythms with aggressive dubstep and riddim elements. Subtronics gained widespread attention with his 2019 GRiZ collaboration "Griztronics" and has since released major projects on his own Cyclops Recordings imprint, including his 2022 debut album "FRACTALS" and the 2024 album "TESSERACT". He frequently performs at premier venues and festivals, holding a residency at Wynn Nightlife in Las Vegas and headlining stages at Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, and Red Rocks. In late 2025, he released his third studio album "FIBONACCI", which set the stage for a massive 2026 North American arena tour.

Costa

Dubstep

Originally from New York and currently based in Maryland, COSTA is a bass music producer and DJ whose sound bridges heavy dubstep with hip-hop influences. He began his career throwing underground shows and producing hip-hop before pivoting to bass music in 2024. COSTA gained early traction through a series of high-impact SoundCloud flips of tracks by artists like Timbaland and Tove Lo, which amassed millions of streams and earned support from established acts such as Excision, Subtronics, and Zeds Dead. In August 2026, he released his debut original single, "You Got Me" featuring Fortune Favor, on Monstercat. His recent touring schedule includes performances at major festivals like Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, and Splash House. By fusing nostalgic pop and hip-hop elements with gritty wobble and robotic textures, COSTA represents a new wave of producers successfully translating internet virality into mainstage festival presence.

Gorilla T

Dubstep

Hailing from Golden, Colorado, Gorilla T is an electronic music producer and DJ known for his heavy fusion of dubstep, experimental bass, and space bass. He built his audience in the bass music scene through intricate sound design, blending sharp melodies with deep growls and funky rhythmic structures. His discography includes standout projects like his 2024 album "Third Eye Vision" and the 2025 collaborative single "Movement" with Liquid Stranger on the WAKAAN label. Gorilla T has also worked alongside artists like NGHTMRE on the track "Everybody Knows" and has become a recurring name at major bass events, including performances at Lost Lands, Bonnaroo, and Elements Music and Arts Festival. Recently, he has maintained a busy touring schedule across North America while navigating public accountability following a brief step back from GRiZ's Seven Stars Festival in early 2026. With a rapidly expanding catalog and a distinctively wonky approach to low frequencies, he remains a central figure in the modern North American bass circuit.
