Space Laces Flexes Otherworldly Production Prowess With Ferocious New Track, “Survive”
If electronic music is at all subject to the Darwinian principle of “survival of the fittest,” then Space Laces is the genre’s apex predator. The virtuosic producer has always been a dependable source for crafting inimitable, otherworldly soundscapes, but he’s even raising his own industry-leading standards with his latest track, “Survive.” His opening salvo of 2023 is a rough-and-tumble dubstep smash. With its seismic impacts and electrifying push-and-pull of tense riddim synth leads, it’s the fiercely unrelenting combination that fans of Space Laces have come to know and love. Stentorian basslines clash at full force in this sonic battle tied to seemingly life or death stakes. But in true Space Laces fashion, the catharsis of his opening sequence...

Space Laces Fearlessly Embraces a New Era On Long-Awaited “High Vaultage” EP: Listen
A new era of Space Laces has arrived. The Louisville producer has finally released his hotly anticipated High Vaultage EP via his home of Never Say Die. With each ingenious release, Space Laces never fails to shake up the bass music scene. High Vaultage is no different, as he’s disassembled parts of his fan-favorite “Vaultage” mixes and consolidated them as a cohesive EP. From start to finish, it’s jam-packed with instant classics. Each of the EP’s five songs are impeccable, making it impossible to designate a highlight. “Droid” samples Star Wars while “Not Bees” includes a sample from Nick Cage’s famous scene in The Wicker Man, and both employ high-energy house rhythms. “Disco Bloodbath” and ̶...

Eptic and Space Laces Have a Collab In the Works
Let’s be honest—we’re all full of crap with our New Year’s ambitions. We go to the gym on January 1st, but only on January 1st, waking up 11 months later with a Dorito-filled kangaroo pouch and regret. But bass virtuoso Eptic is kicking off the year with a much better goal in mind, at least for fans of electronic music. The Belgian beatsmith took to Twitter on January 1st to announce that a new collab with Space Laces is in the works: “My main goal of 2022 is to finally get started on that @spacelaces collab,” he wrote. Eptic and Space Laces are two of the most gifted sound designers in the electronic music scene. Their trailblazing approaches to dubstep and trap music have largely helped shape each genre as we know them today, inspiring le...
Space Laces Announces Dates of First-Ever “Vaultage” Performance
Following the release of Space Laces‘ remarkable “Vaultage 003 “mix, the bass music virtuoso is getting ready to serve up a very special live performance. This February, Zomboy will debut a new two-day event, Rotten Reunion, in Denver alongside Space Laces, Akeos, and BRUER. While that lineup in and of itself is enough to get even the most seasoned bass music veteran excited, Space Laces will be taking things to the next level with his first-ever “Vaultage” set. Telling fans to expect the unexpected, he took to Twitter to share a short trailer teasing what’s to come. Not much is known about the performance at this time, but fans should expect a memorable set from one of the most gifted sound designers in the electronic music scene. As...
SVDDEN DEATH Teases “Largest Production Yet” At Upcoming Chicago Show
Spooky season is starting early this year in Chicago as SVDDEN DEATH has just announced he’s preparing to kick off October with his “largest production yet” in the Windy City. While the “Behemoth” producer hasn’t yet divulged specific details, he doubled down on the assertion that this would be his biggest show ever in an announcement shared via Instagram, noting that he has a number of tricks in his back pocket he plans to reveal for the occasion. It’s a declaration that bass music fans shouldn’t take lightly. Throughout his career, SVDDEN DEATH has made it a priority to deliver unique, headline-grabbing sets, oftentimes shocking fans in the process.

Space Laces Hid a Subliminal Message in His “Vaultage 003” Mix
It looks like Space Laces may have something up his sleeve. The famed producer took the electronic music world by storm earlier in the month of March when he dropped the third installment of his patented “Vaultage” series. Long championed as one of the most technically gifted producers and sound designers in the bass music scene, Space Laces delivered a typically mind-blowing audiovisual mix in “Vaultage 003.” An expert of sound manipulation and mixing, his grasp on DAWs (digital audio workstations) is savant-like, and he has a profound ability to harness their power to reshape modern approaches to music production. He seems to have brought attention to that idea in “Vaultage 003” not only with the music itself, but also by way of a s...
Space Laces Continues Triumphant Return With Bass House Beast, “Dominate”: Listen
Earlier this month, Never Say Die favorite Space Laces ended his yearlong hiatus with his revolutionary Vaultage 003 mix that featured 21 previously unheard tunes. After receiving a resounding stamp of approval from the electronic music community, the fabled bass music producer returns with one of the aforementioned unreleased tunes, entitled “Dominate.” “Dominate” is relentless right from the start, yet it takes a different route than what fans have come to expect from Space Laces. Kicking off with a crisp percussive intro, a myriad of frenetic samples leads listeners into a ruthless bass house drop. The second drop cuts into half-time, decimating listeners with an onslaught of glitchy synths and saturated kicks. While “Dominate” i...
Space Laces Breaks Silence with Awe-Inspiring Vaultage 003 Mix
Bass music virtuoso Space Laces has kept things relatively quiet as of late. His last release, “Rumble” (with Excision), landed on Never Say Die in 2018, and his “Vaultage mix” series saw its second installment arrive in September 2019. It’s been radio silence since then, but Space Laces recently took to Twitter to tease something big: As fans began buzzing over what was to come, Space Laces announced that the third installment of Vaultage was finally set to arrive, and now it’s here at last. Vaultage 003 is chock-full of enticing and all-original bass sounds, ranging from experimental to bass house, dubstep and beyond in the new 20-minute mix. “Bird Alert,” the track featured in the Twitter teaser, sits right in the middle of pipi...
