Hailing from Aotearoa (New Zealand) and now based in Naarm (Melbourne, AU), UP2 is quietly making noise in the underground bass scene. Known for gritty selections and heavy low-end pressure, his sets cut deep - blurring the lines between 140, dubstep, trap, and raw emotion.

He got his start in Aotearoa's underage rave scene, where one night of bass to the chest sealed the deal. No formal training - just years of obsession, self-teaching, and staying up too late mixing tunes since 2015.

After stepping back into the spotlight via YourShot in 2024, he's been steadily building momentum - playing with crews like Outtapokket, Hyperbloom, Hi-Octane, House of FOB, and Beatdown - bringing weight, movement, and no-frills energy every time he gets behind the decks.

At the heart of it, UP2 is focused on growing as an artist and contributing meaningfully to the community that shaped him - adding his voice to Naarm's rich and evolving bass culture.

Afterlife July 2025 - Opening Dubwise and Steppas Dubstep

Pre-order 'Inviting Chaos': https://microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/inviting-chaos

The first single from Akuratyde’s forthcoming album Inviting Chaos, Ripples shapes a vivid sonic world that’s both chaotic and serene, embodying the duality of joy and disarray. A glitched-out 2-step beat and funky bassline give way to shimmering pads and arpeggios, balancing energy with introspection. Ripples is a poignant reminder that creating space for others in your life often means surrendering to unpredictability.

Shining a light on talents in rural areas, celebrating the connection between music and nature.

Launched in late 2021, the crew comprises of a plethora of DJs from the region and have gone on to hold numerous club events, showcases, fundraisers and secret parties, as well as hosting jungle and drum and bass legend, Dillinja, in Eora in early 2023, and holding a stage takeover at Subsonic Festival in late 2023 as well as at the Eora’s KOAN Sound boat party in 2024.

Our involvement in the local scene includes a history of local-focussed events and co-hosting a radio show on Orbital Radio Sydney from 2021 until its closure in 2023. Since then, we've continued to support the scene through our weekly mix series on Soundcloud, surpassing it's 100th feature in 2024. This series showcases talent from across Australia and the globe.

Our DJs cover a wide range of bass genres, including drum and bass, jungle, dubstep, footwork, UKG, bass house, psy dub, and more. Diversity, inclusivity, and safety are central to our events, and we are dedicated to fostering a sense of community within the bass scene.
