CRANKDAT takes over the deejay booth at HQ2 Nightclub on Saturday, October 3rd. Christian Smith, better known as Crankdat, began as a teenager in Ohio uploading remixes to SoundCloud that quickly lit up the electronic music scene. Those early viral moments led to collaborations with global heavyweights like Marshmello on “Falling To Pieces” and DJ Snake on “Big Bang,” quickly establishing Crankdat as a rising force in electronic music and launching him into the spotlight with a growing catalog of originals, including fan favorites like “STFU.” What sets Crankdat apart is his relentless focus on impact, both in the studio and on stage. His music fuses hard-hitting bass with melodic hooks, crafting tracks designed to dominate streaming platforms and ignite festival crowds. That energy has taken him to the world’s biggest electronic music events, including EDC Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, and Tomorrowland, where his sets are celebrated for custom edits, unreleased tracks, and unpredictable moments that keep fans on their toes. With each release, Crankdat continues to evolve while staying true to the sound and energy that first put him on the map, solidifying his place as one of the most exciting names in electronic music today.
