It’s the Monday after Lost Lands, which means ravers have traded earplugs for neck braces after one of the nation’s most popular dubstep festivals. Headbangers showed out at the 2022 edition of Excision‘s flagship fest. The sheer amount of talent at Lost Lands was staggering, and if the festival’s reputation as the “Dubstep Olympics” was ever in doubt, any scintilla of that was effectively quashed this year. One Lost Lands devotee has uploaded footage from “Couch Lands,” the prehistoric-themed festival’s livestreaming counterpart. Fans can now head to YouTube to watch over 50 DJ sets from the likes of Knife Party, Wooli, REZZ, ILLENIUM, Madeon, SVDDEN DEATH, Eptic, Barely Alive and a momentous closing performance from Subtronics, among ...

LEVEL UP took to Twitter to reveal the monster unreleased record, sharing a video and offering a taste for fans who missed the moment. They’ll need to stay patient,...

Rising dubstep music producer LEVEL UP has officially signed to United Talent Agency, one of the nation’s premier agencies. It’s a pivotal and well-deserved moment in the budding career of the rising beatsmith, who is one of the bass music scene’s brightest young producers. She dropped her thunderous Scared Of The Dark EP in September 2020, flaunting a sinister sound that yearned for the festival stages of pre-pandemic yesteryear.
