PUSHLOOP, CHEF BOYARBEATZ
Pushloop
From late night renegades in the Santa Cruz mountains to dark, sweaty nightclubs, Pushloop has spent the better part of a decade flexing soundsystems with a commanding presence. Inspired by artists like Mala, Truth, The Widdler, and Kryptic Minds, Pushloop has carved out his own unique sound blending world music elements with deep, heavy basslines.
Since emerging from the studio with his first release on the Bay Area’s infamous Mallabel, Pushloop has become a regular on heavy-hitting labels like Dank N Dirty Dubz, Deep Dark and Dangerous, ShadowTrix Music, and Heavy Traffic Recordings. Over the years Pushloop has showcased a variety of sounds, ranging from deep, melodic EPs like Midnight Wax and George Orwell, to more experimental, leftfield bass releases such as Too Much Tuna and Loose Wires.
While a passion for producing music has resulted in an impressive resume of releases, Pushloop began his love for dubstep as a DJ and this is clearly evident when he gets behind the decks. Pushloop takes pride in bringing crowds on a journey of bass, blending modern stompers with classic throwbacks and always dropping a healthy serving of his own dubs. With consistent bookings across North America, Pushloop is on a campaign to share his music with anyone who will listen and is an act that shouldn’t be missed.
Chef Boyarbeatz
Los Angeles resident and perpetual crate-digger Chef Boyarbeatz offers a unique perspective on underground bass production. The Icon Collective grad earns recognition from both mainstream and underground production elites with his sentimental take on heavy breaks and UK-inspired soundscapes.
Debuting on a variety of notable platforms and labels including Deep Dark and Dangerous, Mad Zoo, and DUPLOC, Chef Boyarbeatz takes obscure sounds to new heights. Appearing live alongside tastemaker-brands such as Insomniac Events, Infrasound, and System Error, as well as becoming a resident with the long-running B-side Los Angeles team, the up-and-comer celebrated his ascent with his first nationwide headline tour, support from Of The Trees, Truth, Sicaria Sound, and Ternion Sound, selection by NOISIA Radio, and his DDD track “Steady Slurkin’” was voted the #1 dubstep song of the year by fans on duploc.com. 2023 already has festival appearances on the docket at Okeechobee and The Untz Festival, support slots with Yheti, Ternion Sound, and the legendary Coki, as well as a bevy of releases slated to hit platforms across the calendar.
