AFTERLIFE OUT NOW 

bitly.ws/CMZ9

Since launching the Datsik brand, Troy Beetles continues to evolve as a solo artist all the while pushing his beloved bass music world to new lengths, both on a personal artistry level and as a genre as a whole. From bedroom producer to chart-topping artist, internationally touring act, and owner and founder of the enterprising Firepower Records, Datsik is poised to make bass music the sound of the future with his recent Down 4 My Ninjas EP (Nov. 2014 / Firepower Records) and upcoming release Smoke Bomb ft. Snoop Dogg (Nov. 2015 / Ultra Records). 

Datsik took his initial steps into global dominance in 2009 with his first official release, the Nuke ‘Em EP, which set the new precedence of the future of dubstep and bass music. Immediately following that was the Boom EP featuring Excision and the legendary Flux Pavilion as collaborators. In that same year, Datsik claimed 10 Beatport #1 releases. Additionally, he has also released massive remixes for dance music icons Skrillex, Diplo, Kaskade, and Zedd, as well as two collaborations with Bassnectar and two more with Diplo on his Express Yourself EP. He has also remixed artists from the mainstream pop world and hip-hop spheres such as Coldplay, Lil Wayne, MGMT, Linkin Park, Wu-Tang Clan, one of the biggest influences on his sound, and, most recently, Lana Del Rey.

Nonetheless, Vitamin D, his debut artist album released on Dim Mak Records in 2012, remains his gleaming trophy of work. Rightfully so, as Vitamin D was the first project to illustrate the full spectrum of Datsik’s production cannon and to give glimpses of the artist’s potential as a producer and songwriter. Vitamin D was the first major milestone of many to come in the Datsik storyline. The next chapter came in 2013 in the form of a two-part release, the Cold Blooded EP and the corresponding Let It Burn full-length album, both released on Firepower. While shorter in length, Cold Blooded packs as much a punch as big brother Let It Burn. Hand in hand, Cold Blooded and Let It Burn comprise the knockout one-two punch in Datsik’s artillery.

Datsik stands at a point of transition with his recent EP Down 4 My Ninjas. It exemplifies a more mature Datsik, both in sound and in vision, as it sees the producer taking vast steps outside of dubstep and deeper into his ever-burning fondness for hip-hop. In essence, it is his love letter to the hip-hop and bass music genres and sees a full circle for Datsik as it combines the best of both worlds. Featuring collaborations with DJ Paul of renowned Southern rap group Three 6 Mafia and the legendary KRS-One, Down 4 My Ninjas sees Datsik keeping one foot in bass and one foot in hip-hop and, for the first time ever, sees the artist pairing his original productions with bona fide, universally celebrated members of the rap world. 

With Down 4 My Ninjas in tow and a hefty supporting tour scheduled for 2015, expectations are higher than they’ve ever been for Datsik. Beetles welcomes the challenge, though. It’s what’s kept him developing since those bedroom producer days, and it’s what verifies Datsik as one of the leading figures in the bass music scene of today and tomorrow.

While San Diego's veteran DJ/Producer Phrenik made his mark on the Southern California electronic music scene primarily through drum and bass, unbeknownst to many, his influence and impact reaches much further. Both varied and versatile, with high-energy performances and critically acclaimed productions acting as his calling cards, Phrenik’s position as a major player in the world of EDM has been surely secured.

Long a staple on the SoCal scene, Phrenik's popularity grew nationally and internationally through his highly rated radio show on DrumnBassTV.com, "The Resistance", which he hosted for 5 years. After leaving the station in 2008 to focus on his production, his studio credibility began to start a buzz amongst the industry with his critically acclaimed dubstep remix of Rihanna's hit, Disturbia, receiving downloads numbered in the thousands, hitting home with fans of both Rihanna and the grimey dubstep enthusiasts alike.

Since then, Phrenik’s reputation as a respected producer was further solidified  when he teamed up with renowned vocalist Jillian Ann to create their breakthrough dubstep hit ‘Set It Off’ which broke the Beatport Top 100 within its first week of release on Simplify Recordings, not to mention also climbing to #1 in all-time label sales for the site. 2012 saw a steady flow of solid releases from Phrenik, coming from such bass heavy labels as London’s LU10 Recordings to L.A.’s Heavy Artillery Recordings. His much anticipated follow-up release on Simplify, entitled the ‘The Impact EP’ made viral waves on the internet and received much acclaim from critics and bloggers alike. 

It has proven to be a productive year for this prolific artist with many of his recent releases constantly climbing up the charts, including a remix for Figure that appeared on his chart topping “Monsters Vol. 3” album, thus creating quite a buzz in the world of bass. Collaborations and plenty of remix work are scheduled for various labels including Simplify, Doom, Heavy Artillery and Atom Recordings to name a few. With such quality productions on such a wide variety of fronts, and such a buzz around his upcoming releases, all while gathering support from many of the genre’s most notable producers, It’s no doubt Phrenik is quickly becoming one of the new bad boys of bass music.
