PEEKABOO DJed Live With One Arm After Breaking His Shoulder

Not even a broken shoulder could keep PEEKABOO from returning to doing what he does best. After falling off his Onewheel electronic skateboard and breaking his shoulder, the trap and dubstep music star touched down at Somerset, Wisconsin’s Rivers Edge Campground on May 8th for a bass-fueled drive-in concert with BUKU and Sully. Incapacitated by a cast on his right arm, PEEKABOO went on to take the stage and throw down a bone-rattling DJ set—with one arm. While he wasn’t able to move around much, his performance was nothing short of magnificent as he cycled through a bevy of his own originals and unreleased IDs. Check out a couple clips from the show below, including one in which he drops his global bass hit “Babatunde.” FOLLOW PEEKABOO: Facebook: face...

Buku Expands on Wakaan Debut with “What You See” EP

Last month, bass music aficionado Buku made his Wakaan debut with “What You See,” the quintessential genre-bender featuring his own vocal work. The single was shortly followed by his visually stimulating drum and vocal cover, which lives on the Wakaan YouTube channel. In quick succession, Buku has returned to the freeform bass label with the remainder of his EP, What You See. This three-track record is composed of mutated sound design, breakneck transitions, and heavy-hitting patchwork synths to transport listeners to the festival’s main stage. Enter the world of What You See as glitchy, percussion-heavy beats dominate the title track. For the next offering, “Pinky Fingaz” go up as thumping basslines generate sonic destruction. Concluding the fiery EP, chaotic oscillations mark the grand f...
