Feeling overwhelmed by all the options? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Here are the top five artists KAMP is most excited to see:
Wooli
Wooli is hands down the set I’m most excited for. If you’re into artists like GRiZ, Subtronics, ILLENIUM, or Crankdat, Wooli is a must-see. A fan favorite in the bass scene, he consistently delivers massive, high-energy performances and continues to cement himself as a staple of the American EDM landscape. Headlining alongside other crowd favorites, Wooli’s set is guaranteed to be one of the weekend’s biggest.
Akeos
If you’re craving something darker and heavier, Akeos is a must-see. Known for his razor-sharp sound design and aggressive drops, Akeos pushes the boundaries of riddim and experimental bass. His recent single seems to be heading in the hyperpop EDM direction, which is also fun, but he generally produces more intense bass music. He has had collaborations with iconic artists in the scene like Habstrakt, and his sets are fast-paced, high-impact, and perfect for anyone who likes their bass music raw and relentless. Whether you’re deep in the pit or just discovering the underground side of the scene, Akeos is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
Liquid Stranger
Swedish-artist, Liquid Stranger is one of my favorite artists on this lineup thanks to his unmatched diversity and creativity in sound. A true standout, he effortlessly blends psychedelic textures, heavy bass, and flowstep-style grooves, creating sets that are constantly evolving and impossible to pin down to a single genre. There’s no one way to describe Liquid Stranger, and that’s exactly what makes him a must-see. If you’re looking to expand your music taste and experience something truly immersive, this is a set you won’t want to miss.
Canabliss
Hailing from Toronto, Canabliss produces some beautiful music. She’s known for her signature atmospheric sound and perfect buildups. She has a talent in blending ethereal atmospheric sounds, deep wubs, and smooth, melodic bass into a hypnotic experience. This is definitely a wooky set, so if you go, you must settle in, get comfortable, and prepare to be completely absorbed by the sound. Standing out within a heavier bass lineup, Canabliss is a must-see for anyone looking to vibe, explore deeper frequencies, and experience bass music with a more soulful edge.
NGTMRE
NGHTMRE is a true staple of the bass scene and a classic name on this lineup. Known for his ground-shaking dubstep and high-energy collaborations with fan favorites like Crankdat and Slander, he’s produced some of my all-time favorite dubstep tracks. NGHTMRE consistently delivers bangers year after year, effortlessly moving between fun, wubby grooves and hard-hitting drops. You definitely won’t want to miss this set if you’re looking for something fun and high energy.
