Widely becoming one of dance music’s staple artists, NAZAAR is inspiring many aspiring producers and DJ’s from his bedroom to the stage.

After a year-long wait caused by the pandemic, Excision has once again blessed headbangers near and far with the return of his beloved Lost Lands Music Festival in Legend Valley, Ohio. Tickets went on sale earlier this year with the promise of a lineup soon to follow as he and his team looked to bring us the best there is in the bass scene to this prehistoric party.

Those attending Reunion were lucky enough to get first access to the lineup at the event, with a brief reveal in the visuals, but it soon unveiled to the masses on social media – and this year’s edition of Lost Lands is stacked. This year, Excision is bringing forth artists of all sizes and talents in an array of genres from dubstep and trap to house and drum and bass. Immediate names that stand out include the likes of Rusko, Delta Heavy, 12th Planet, GRiZ, Dr. Fresch, Zomboy, and Adventure Club who are all masters of their craft.

Other artists who will be throwing down some heat range from Slander and Svdden Death to Space Laces and Dion Timmer, while Excision’s three sets will also be can’t-miss experiences. Additionally, Excision also went above and beyond to add plenty of depth to the undercard as well with artists like Ahee, Blanke, Lizzy Jane, JEANIE, Champagne Drip, Mize, Memba, Trivecta, Dodge & Fuski, and plenty more set to make their way to Legend Valley as well.

Since first making its debut years ago, Bass Canyon has only continued to see Excision and his team bring some of the best in the bass scene to the Pacific Northwest. While the sister festival to Lost Lands might not be as decked out production-wise, each edition has packed a punch with a stacked lineup who take the stage at The Gorge.

Major artists who are set to join Excision at Bass Canyon include standouts such as Boombox Cartel, Bear Grillz, LSDREAM, Ghastly, Kayzo, SVDDEN DEATH, Subtronics, Zomboy, Virtual Riot, and G Jones – but that’s just scratching the surface on the depth this lineup brings. Other bass artists who are surely ones not to miss include Calcium, Dion Timmer, Dirt Monkey, Kompany, Spor, Zeke Beats, Jessica Audiffred, and Level Up in the top half of the lineup alone.

Those who know Webster Hall solely as the roomy host to ascendant indie-acts and faded legends alike will be surprised to hear that the faux-marble labyrinth often doubles as a real-life night club featuring cover-charged theme parties and big-name DJ sets. The four-story, 40,000 square foot space includes a main stage, lined with balcony space on either end, as well as a few amenities and extras: an underground coat check, a large back-area bar (plus a few rarely-trafficked side bars,) bathroom attendants, the 600-capacity Marlin Room, and the Studio at Webster Hall, a smaller venue-within-a-venue with an intimate atmosphere. Attendees are usually too entranced by the spinning stage lights and gothic chandeliers to notice the multi-culti hieroglyphic hode-podge lining the venue’s wall; the upstairs unisex bathroom – complete with checkered, hop-style design and blackboard walls and chalk sticks on string to encourage scrawled musings from stall occupants – is harder to ignore. Most importantly, the house sound system’s crisp low end refuses to be ignored, probably thanks to a recent $1 million upgrade

At a certain point if you trek through the dance scene of Texas long enough, you will hear tales of the legendary nightclub known as Kingdom. While a lot of the stories are exaggerations, there are a lot more that are true. The elusive nightclub has played host to plenty of mega name Djs, secret parties and after hours sets to make even the most jaded dance scenester take stock of who they know, and how connected they are. That’s why it should come as no surprise that most of the events at Kingdom now carry ticket requirements. While there are still the free dance shows, and surprise parties that don’t carry a cover, they are still subject to the laws of the club, and you can find yourself waiting in a crowd of people littered down the strangely urbane alleyway that Kingdom’s front door calls home.

As for the club itself, Kingdom definitely knows its market, and provides all the bells and whistles that the pretty, and elite should require for successful night of partying. Opulent dance floors, and booths all supplemented by a gracious staff that provides impeccable service and ambiance. Even more amazing is that the staff manages to maintain their friendly vibe, and on point service when the club transitions to its after hours offerings and basically becomes a speakeasy. Stay on your game, and you should have a blast at one of Austin’s premier clubs.

Houston’s Stereo Live is the brainchild of one of Texas’ biggest and best EDM promoters.  As such, they have a pretty good understanding of how to put together a club, and the balls and the money to put together a really big club.  Spread out over 30,000 sq. ft., two floors and an expansive outdoor patio, Stereo live has staked its claim as the king of the EDM scene. The list of headliners that have taken to the main stage (yes an actual stage, not just an elevated DJ booth) reads like a who’s-who of national and international superstars: Paul Van Dyk, Kaskade, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, Afrojack, Nadia Ali, Starkillers, ATB, Benny Benassi, and the list goes on.

The main dance floor is close to 9,000 sq. ft., serviced by three bars and is lit up by pretty stunning array of spotlights, LEDs, neon and other assorted shiny objects.  Multiple video displays, including a massive floor to ceiling projection screen behind the main stage, enhance the overall visual effect.  The sound system is Crown and JBL affair, capable of pumping a lot of quality sound out to the crowd.

The upstairs mezzanine features more viewing and dancing space, as well as VIP/bottle service sections overlooking the main floor, and another private VIP section with its own bar and DJ.  The covered outdoor patio also features a separate DJ booth and full service bar.  Overall the look is stylish, trendy, and a certain amount of casual chic.

The atmosphere is energetic, the interior is welcoming and the space is enormous.  Stereo Live is an 18+ venue.  Not necessarily dress to impress, but definitely don’t dress down.

The building that is now called The Westcott Theater was originally constructed as a movie theater in 1919. Although it changed ownership throughout the years, it remained as a cinema house until it was bought in 2007 and reimagined into a live music venue, opening its doors in 2008. Nestled in the historic Westcott neighborhood of Syracuse NY, The Westcott Theater has grown into the most prolific and the most diverse live music venue in Central New York. In 2019 The Westcott Theater was renovated to feature a line array front of house sound system, new lighting design capabilities and new stage monitoring functionality. In the winter of 2020 additional cosmetic ballroom upgrades were made to not only enhance the artist and patron experience in the context of a live concert but to also make the venue more adaptable to private events, from everything from large scale parties to corporate receptions.

CARNAGE is an artiste, and bass is his muse. With a catalog of productions and remixes for rising MCs, DJ heroes, and pop superstars alike—from Theophilus London and A$AP Rocky’s triumphant “Big Spender” to his blog-dominating series of “festival trap” bootlegs to his blistering Borgore collaboration “Turn Up”—CARNAGE has proven his expert knack for things that go boom. One of his first projects was a tripped-out and captivating remix of Yuna's "Live Your Life." Soon, Tiësto began spinning the track on his popular Club Life podcast, while Paul Oakenfold featured it on regular rotation on his radio show Planet Perfecto. His "Festival Trap" remix of Hardwell's "Spaceman" quickly exploded online and he also co-produced The Cataracs’ "All You” featuring Waka Flocka Flame and Kaskade. Influential imprint Fool’s Good released one of his most maximal masterpieces yet with “Bang!,” a gleefully, over-the-top mash of orchestral pomp, cranked up laser riffs and steroid-jacked 808s, backed by the equally amped up “Kat!e” featuring Chicago’s underground queen Kat!e Got Bandz. CARNAGE’s most recent releases include the track “Incredible” with Borgore out now on Spinnin Records, which hit #1 on Beatport, and newest single “Signal” featuring New & Used, also out now on Spinnin Records. There’s nothing quite like seeing CARNAGE live though. Every show detonates based off his hyperkinetic energy and formidable presence.

From a young age, Coone has been mesmerized by music in all its different shapes and forms.

The creation of his successful label Dirty Workz was a huge step in this young man's carreer, allowing him to take his music beyond even his own expectations and also giving new talents within the Hard Dance scene a respectable platform to launch new and exciting sounds into the scene.

By the age of 24, Coone was able to lay down an almost impossible feat; completely selling out one of Belgium's largest venues with over 10.000 Hard Dance fans for an exclusive event - Coone & the Gang. The event has certainly become one of Coone's most memorable moments, a clear pillar in his life which marked the beginning of big things to come and completely opened the Hard Dance scene in Belgium, boosted by national tv and media coverage.

As collaborations with some of Hardstyle's biggest names rolled in, Coone was able to impress the world with his unique sound within Hardstyle, imprinting a distinct signature sound into his productions. His experience has lead him towards a new "Challenge"; to create an album in 30 days including collaborations with some of the Hard Dance scene's superstars. The album was met with great support in the scene, catapulting Coone to new heights.

Coone's success within Europe has opened up many doors for him as his eyes are fixed on the horizon, towards the international Hardstyle scene in countries such as Australia and the United States, with a World Tour already in the making.

Without a doubt, Coone lives and breathes Hardstyle. His passion shared by thousands of like-minded souls all over the world, each speaking a universal language. Music. A binding force uniting us all.

Eric Seall –better known by his stage name Ace Aura– is an American bass music producer and DJ, best known for his heavy, chord-driven take on dubstep (often referred to as “melodic/harmonic riddim”). He has received a great degree of attention in recent months for his unique style, garnering support from the likes of Zomboy, NGHTMRE & SLANDER, Zeds Dead, Ookay, 12th Planet, Flux Pavilion, Borgore and many more.

Seall grew up in a Protestant household in McKinney, TX (an exurb of Dallas) and grew to be a passionate Christian at a young age. He began producing and uploading faith-influenced EDM songs to YouTube under the name “Ace Aura” in 2012 and has unashamedly continued down that same path ever since.

It wasn’t long before Ace Aura started being recognized in a more serious capacity, landing releases on labels like Ninety9Lives and Most Addictive. Seall’s innovative take on the Excision-supported “Wait for Me” by Chime caught the attention of the colour bass mastermind himself and marked the beginning of an ongoing friendship between the two.

Chime’s support played an important role in much of Ace Aura’s success during the following months, with many of Seall’s key releases being put out on the UK producer’s Rushdown imprint. Ace Aura’s involvement with Rushdown spawned several collaborations with Chime, including a remix of Ray Volpe’s “Wet Napkin” and the original “Interdimensional” (off Chime’s Disciple-released EP of the same name).

Beyond the release of “Interdimensional,” 2019 came as the biggest year for Seall’s career thus far. The year saw the release of Seall’s first DubstepGutter-supported original (“Flow”) a collaboration with Oolacile (“Stars”) and two big releases with rising bass music label Ōdio Records (“Gamma,” “Radiate”), as well as his first headline show (Seattle, WA) and a coveted opening slot at SVDDEN DEATH’s sold out debut at the Ogden Theater (Denver, CO).

2019 also saw the release of Seall’s highly-anticipated “Coma” on Circus Records (the track’s Twitter preview saw a degree of virality, catching the attention of names like Subtronics, Vincent and Cookie Monsta). “Coma” followed a similar path to previous releases like “Tongues of Fire,” weaving in a segments of the producer’s faith-driven narrative. Just days after the song was released, it became Seall’s first Beatport top 10 entry, peaking at #9 on the site’s dubstep chart.

2020 is gearing up to be another groundbreaking year for Ace Aura, as the surprise Trinergy collaboration “Self-Love” –the second single from his story-driven EP Comatose– has already become one of the producer’s most well-loved releases. With bigger remixes & collaborations than ever before lined up and Ace Aura’s first North American tour just on the horizon, it is fair for fans to expect the unexpected this year.
