HEADLINER

Daniel James Howland, known as SVDDEN DEATH, is a dubstep and riddim producer originally from San Jose, California, and currently based in Los Angeles. He built his reputation on aggressive sound design and a dark, metal-influenced aesthetic, which he frequently explores through his theatrical, horror-themed VOYD alias. His discography includes the breakout 2019 collaboration "Sell Out" with Marshmello on Joytime Collective, as well as his self-released 2018 project "VOYD Vol. I" and the 2024 album "Harbinger." Howland has become a fixture at major events, performing headline sets at EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, and his own curated Valley of Darkness events at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Recently, he expanded his catalog with the multi-part "VOYD Vol. 2.5" album series in 2025 and the single "UNORTHODOX" in early 2026. His production style consistently merges heavy sub-bass, complex rhythmic structures, and cinematic atmospheres.

Nimda

Dubstep

Nimda is the alias of Barney Warner, a bass music producer, DJ and label owner based in Grayshott, England. He works at the most unforgiving edge of dubstep, blending the aggression of metal with the chaos of tearout and trench. Nimda runs the tearout-focused label Mentis Audio, releasing his own cuts alongside a roster of heavy bass producers. He has played European bass strongholds including the Storm Stage at Rampage Open Air in Belgium. His sound is built for maximum weight, all grinding basslines and blunt-force drops.

He works in the deathstep and tearout corners of dubstep, pairing 140 BPM foundations with abrasive, hypnotic riddim patterns and aggressive sound design. He has released originals like Gutter Spunk and the EP MANHUNT, and collaborated with riddim peers including Kai Wachi. His live resume includes Freaky Deaky and Summoning of the Eclipse, Eptic's End of the World tour and a slot on Svdden Death's Red Rocks takeover. PROSECUTE stands out for pushing dubstep toward its heaviest, darkest extremes.
