Hailed the "Bass Queen of Portland," multi-versed singer/songwriter Natasha Kmeto takes you on a leftfield journey, combining a live performance with her deep, soulful vocals and productions.

As head of the Soundpieces crew in San Francisco, Bogl is known for bringing the most upfront styles in dubstep, house and hip hop to the Bay. With his recent relocation to the City of Angels, his set at Bass Coast will showcase the finest of low-end selections from both cities.

Metalheadz, Bad Company UK, Autonomic, Exit Records–all terms lead straight to the catalogs of Darren White aka dBridge, the don of creating cutting edge drum & bass arrangements with a keen ear on techno, juke, and footwork.

Originally from Miami, Jubilee's native town shines through her productions. Her recent linkup with dancehall/tropical bass label Mixpak sees Jubilee pushing the global vibe to more unexplored territories.

SoundCloud URL: soundcloud.com/sabota

Sabota are the creative pairings of Max Ulis and Robbie Slade. "Means Saturday in Polish but don't let that fool you, this man is a booty smacker" reads their SoundCloud profile, and Sabota's sleek percussive rhythms prove just that.

Highly-decorated Calgarian Sandro P. brings to the techno realm a sound influenced by that of Detroit and Berlin, but with a very experimental approach. Get ready to think (as well as dance) when you hear him perform.

SoundCloud URL: soundcloud.com/monolithiummm

Is it Acid? Is it tech-house? Is it industrial? Listening to Monolithium's energetic productions live will allow you to answer all of those questions... or the complexity of it all might just keep you guessing.

SoundCloud URL: soundcloud.com/longwalkshortdock

Gritty, buzzing, funky robotic four-to-the-floor rhythms are the styles that Dave King aka Longwalkshortdock are bringing to the table at Bass Coast this year. While his name essentially means to shut up, you won't be doing anything of the like during his time on the stage.

SoundCloud URL: soundcloud.com/addisongroove

Addison Groove is hands down one of the UK's crown purveyors of bass music, working with everyone from Scratch DVA to DJ Rashad. Expect to hear some prime TR-808 trickery from one of the best to do it.
