Champagne Drip

Champagne Drip, the musical incarnation of Los Angeles-based producer Samuel Pool, was born from the philosophy that innovation springs from inspiration. The statement ringing true throughout the years, Pool has proven himself to be a trailblazer within the bass music sector of electronic music. With seasoned expertise predominantly rooted in genres such as dubstep and jungle, his discography consists of countless renowned records, right alongside his multiple headline tours and appearances at some of the world's largest festivals.
Widely known for his sonic concoctions of diverse textures and rich melodies swathed in his decidedly uplifting project, Champagne Drip is set to continue skyrocketing upon a purely upwards trajectory. Consistently pulling inspiration from his own surrounding environment, his sound is an ever-evolving source that naturally inspires others in turn.
The Crystal Method

For more than two decades, The Crystal Method has remained at the forefront of the worldwide dance music industry as pioneers of the big beat genre, innovators of the ’90s electronica movement and current-day global ambassadors of the American electronic sound. Originally formed as a duo—alongside founding member Ken Jordan, who retired from the music business in 2016— The Crystal Method today lives and breathes as a solo act, with co-founder Scott Kirkland at the helm And with the artistic reboot comes the next chapter in
The Crystal Method timeline: The Trip Home, out September 28 on the band’s own Tiny E Records.
A Hundred Drums

Thunderous low end and pulsating rhythm embody the powerful music of A Hundred Drums.
Stomping the stage in a tangle of hair and a blur of motion, her high-octane live show is the result of years of searching for that perfect primal pulse that connects humans on the dance floor. Since she was a teenager, Gabrielle Watson has been cultivating a sound that encapsulates experimental hip-hop, psychedelic bass, and indigenous hand drums. After a decade of crafting her sonic signature in cutting-edge spaces, A Hundred Drums has emerged onto the main stage to bring the sounds of the underground to the masses.
N2N

Over the last eight years, N2N has become broadly recognized for his blistering marathon sets fueled by infectiously energetic house music. In 2018, he was mentioned by Billboard in its list of the nine best sets from Burning Man, and the year prior he had the opportunity to perform for a global audience in New York’s Mixmag Lab. A lifelong student of music, his sets seamlessly blending genres have become crowd favorites across the country. In the studio, his versatility shines through, as his groovy feel-good style has 'landed him major label signings as well as support from the world’s biggest DJs, including Fatboy Slim, Chris Lake, David Guetta, and Idris Elba. 2022 saw N2N root himself in the scene with a slew of releases on Glasgow Underground, and with multiple records forthcoming on deadmau5's house imprint hau5trap, he has cemented himself as one of the genre's brightest rising stars.
DJ Dan

DJ Dan has been a leading force in the dance community for more than 25 years and is still turning heads today. Dan's music brings the party to new high levels with his mix of Funky Tech House, Techno and House.
Dan's widely renowned Los Angeles-based label InStereo Recordings, has further etched his name into dance music's core for the past 15 years. With DJ Sneak, Antoine Clamaran, TJR, Wolfgang Gartner, Hatiras, and DJ Dan being amongst the many artists featured on the InStereo Recordings, the label is hard to ignore in the industry.
The DJ Dan remix discography includes Depeche Mode, New Order, Tribe Called Quest, Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Groove Armada, Carl Cox, Ferry Corsten as well as creating the Transformers' theme song.
KJ Sawka of Pendulum & Destroid

"Widely recognized for his work as a member of renowned electronic music super-groups, Pendulum, and Destroid, KJ Sawka is undoubtedly one of the most illustrious, and respected figures in the industry today, with a unique ability to push the boundaries of dance music and foster innovation in the scene. To supplement his remarkable career, KJ has just made another noteworthy move with the launch of his very own label, Impossible Records. With a focus on Bass music, Impossible Records will be working to promote and showcase some outstanding tunes from burgeoning producers, as well as enable them to grow, and develop artistically." - Zakiya Abdullah
SULLY

“Sully” is the brainchild and nickname of Detroit-based producer, Christopher Sullivant. Weaving guttural sound design and intricate textures into wide melodic soundscapes, Sully has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with.
After refining his production skills from the highly acclaimed Icon Collective, Sully first stepped into the electronic music scene in March of 2019. With a series of prolific self-releases such as “Frequency Shift” and “Quake” under his belt, Sully made his WAKAAN debut in late 2019, where he continues to call home for his intoxicating sound.
Sully embraces the beautiful juxtaposition of releasing and performing different genres of music while still maintaining a distinct sound to blanket his catalog. From dubstep to trap, drum & bass, hip hop, and more, there are no limitations to Sully’s artistry.
