About Koan Sound:

Armed with diligence, musical prowess, and a progressive vision, KOAN Sound portray the
future of electronic music. Fueled by a penchant for groove and precision, Jim Bastow and Will
Weeks each grew up with a forward-thinking musical identity that led to collaboration during
their formative years. Representing Bristol’s celebrated lineage of cutting-edge musicians,
KOAN Sound made their introduction to the scene in 2008, turning the heads of underground
enthusiasts. With 10 years and a bulk of releases under their belt, KOAN Sound’s capacity to
move the needle in electronic music is stronger than ever.
Thumbing through their diverse discography, KOAN Sound’s ability to deliver a catalog ranging
from opulent productions to volatile dancefloor weapons demonstrates their innovation and
impact across the industry. The duo’s meticulous approach to production gave listeners heavy,
fully-loaded releases like 2011’s Funk Blaster EP and ambient, cinematic cuts like 2013’s
Sanctuary EP, both released via Skrillex’s renowned imprint OWSLA.
Halting their release schedule for three years beginning in 2015, the return of KOAN Sound
ignited fans and tastemakers alike in 2018 with the announcement of their debut full-length
record, Polychrome. The duo crafted this project with a hands-on style of production; beyond
their mettle in the studio, KOAN Sound took on self-funding, manufacturing, promoting, and
releasing the album independently through their own label, Shoshin. Spanning 11 contemporary
electronic tracks and a sophisticated visual aesthetic, Polychrome speaks for the duo’s
innovative legacy.
Graduating from their beginnings as a support act on tour with artists like Skrillex
to develop their own audio-visual headlining tour across North America, KOAN Sound now
offer a new experience for fans through live performance. The duo took their audiovisual show
across the UK and North America throughout fall 2019, playing ambitious gigs in cities such as
London, Los Angeles and a sold-out show in Denver’s ‘The Mission Ballroom’ with Opiuo.
Looking ahead, KOAN Sound are approaching 2020 with a busy release schedule and plenty of
surprises for longtime fans — in true KOAN Sound fashion, their next move is certain to ripple
across the scene.

About Soulacybin:

For nearly a decade, Soulacybin has been a pivotal figure in the bass music world. His
distinct sound blends elements of dub, funk, trap, glitch and drum & bass, offering a
unique mix of intricate sound design and melodic depth. His live sets weave through
deep 140 BPM grooves, heavy midtempo bangers, funky glitch-hop, and psychedelic
DnB ragers. With releases on Gravitas Recordings, Street Ritual, Merkaba Records,
and Shanti Planti, he has performed high-energy sets across the US, Canada,
Australia, Central America, and the Middle East.

About MLOTIK:

MLOTIK, led by Michal Mlot in Denver, CO, is recognized for its innovative bass music and sound design. Originally co-founded with Mariusz “Mario” Wac, MLOTIK has notable releases on Mersiv’s Morflo Records, Ganja White Night’s SubCarbon Records, and VEIL’s Street Ritual.

MLOTIK’s sound encompasses a blend of freeform bass, dnb/halftime, dubstep, and 140, with elements of house and trance. This eclectic mix has secured Michal’s place in the national spotlight, highlighted by performances alongside Mersiv at The Caverns and at major festivals like Interstellar, North Coast Music Festival, and WAKAAN Festival.
