In today’s bass culture, incredibly talented producers are popping up with increasing frequency. Even fans of the scene avidly finding new artists will have a couple slip under their radar.
 
There is a slight chance this might have happened with James Vander (Oblivion). The Minneapolis producer is a beast when is comes to unleashing finely tuned bass lines that were crafted with the intention of smashing his live sets. His in-your-face drops feature a steady balance of relentless dub hits, which combine flawlessly with an armada of groovy synths that together create a simultaneously melodic and cataclysmic sound. This can be heard on his mouth-watering originals like “Drunkstep” and “Bass Freq,” along with essential switch ups of well-known artists like Deadmau5, Lily Allen, and Kreayshawn.
