Here are some new guys out on the trap scene out of Portland Oregon. Cathode is a DJ-Drummer Live duo
Wrightsound has DJ’ed underground clubs for several years in Tokyo, Japan.
Drummer Wyatt J. has been playing drums and producing tracks for over a decade.
Together, they formed the super group CATHODE where WrightSound DJ’s while Wyatt drums.
They produce sexy dance trap music.
Lets watch these guys to see what comes out next.
TOADFACE:
Where do we start?
Young producer from…nawwww…Ohio born…no, too typical, and he surely isn’t typical..!
Todd aka ToadFace (~The Destroyer) is currently working on a degree and playing at some of his first festivals this year. You might have heard of tunes from his older brother Yheti, but Todd is no copycat and has his own unique style in production. While keeping to melodically-based themes, his tunes are still full of glitch edits with fun twists and turnarounds you wouldn’t fully expect from such a young artist. His trappy-IDM breed of bass music is sure to keep you interested as he guides you through incredibly complex soundscapes made with just a modest computer/ production setup. His set at our festival, Filth Of July, in July was amazing and blew the socks off of us and our friends.
He may be wet behind the ears but this will certainly be a musician to watch for in the future. This is just the beginning. Join Todd on his journey and bid him well!
Here is one of his more recent tunes to check out:
The Fresh Taste DJ Collective is a group of Milwaukee based dj’s, designers and producers whom recently hit us up with some cool music we thought you might like to hear.
Bardeenz, aka Sam Hansen, has his roots in house music as a laptop dj & producer which shows in the ravish use of synths and upbeat overall vibe.
“I make sounds that I like. Everything I know I learned sitting at my macbook in my mothers basement, all self taught. I prefer to create as much of it from scratch as I can, but if I hear a sound I like, I dont find any harm in sampling. As long as what you make of it is original and its something you enjoy who cares? ” —Strehlow

Grimblee, from Utah, has been slaying faces at events and dropping a continuous string of releases. Some of which we were able to procure two exclusives and a small interview with Gilbert, himself. We, personally, have booked Grimblee for an event this summer ( www.filthofjuly.com ) and everybody who attended the festival really enjoyed his fresh brand of electronic music head cheese. This new “Big Cheese” has been performing (and producing) all over the states with the likes of Mr.Vandal, Yheti, Gjones, and many more which you will hear about shortly, hereafter.
His style is, well, unpredictable. One minute he composes electronic soundscapes that seem right out of an elevator, and the next he is making heavy hitting dubstep or, in this case, trap. One thing that stays consistent is his quality audio and tasty hooks.
