    D. Tiffany Brought Bass Coast Back to the 1994 Stanley Cup, Except This Time We Won │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    After all the mind-blowing breaks I'd heard this weekend, particularly the ones thrown down by Special Request, I was very skeptical about seeing D. Tiffany. Though the Vancouver export, currently living in Berlin, Sophie Sweetland had produced many well-received releases, from her 2014 debut on the defunct trend-setter 1080p to the various EPs and collaborations that came out in its wake, none of them had ever clicked with me. I'm just not much into minimal, ambient deep house — or at least I w

    Opiuo Lived His Best Life at Bass Coast │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Australia-based Kiwi producer Oscar Davey-Wraight seemed like he was living his best life at the main stage on Sunday (July 12). Opiuo may have delivered the set of the night for a lot of people, as the buzz and energy around this was nearly unmatched. His brand of quirky, psychedelic, bass-heavy glitch-hop was funky but not funk, groovy but rich and surprising, not so much sexy as it was flirty. You didn't always know where he was going to go, but it all made perfect sense when you got there to

    Craze's Electronic Music History Lesson Made It Feel Like the First Time at Bass Coast │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Born Arist Delgado in Nicaragua, American turntablist Craze is a certified legend — even to casual listeners who look no further into his Wikipedia entry than his legendary three-peat run as the winner of the DMC World DJ Championships from 1998–2000. If he wanted to ease into the vibe at Bass Coast, he didn't have much of a choice following Visages. He launched right into a world tour of drum and bass (DnB), taking us from Brazil to London, to Jamaica to Miami, and basically teaching a mini-cou

    BC's Own ColtCuts Brought Dream-Come-True Dynamics to Bass Coast │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Credited as Colton Collett from Kimberley, BC, ColtCuts has been on the rise for the last decade or so, but he's really hitting his stride these days. Released through Deep Dark & Dangerous in 2025, the producer's Resurgence EP delivered four slabs of bass so massive that they collectively threatened to break most of the coast off of the province, leaving his property in Kimberley oceanfront. Live and on stage, the guy has become a regular at Shambhala since the pandemic, and at Bass Coast 2026,

    Lauren Flax's Acid House and Techno Evolved from Suggestion to Compulsion at Bass Coast │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Born and raised in Detroit, Lauren Flax has spent most of her adult life in the melting pot of Brooklyn, other than a brief stint in Chicago to learn music production. She was baptized in the holy waters of techno and house, and she delivered that pure energy to the Cabin at Bass Coast. A lot of the programming at this year's festival tended to fall into super bass-heavy sets and the general Top 40 mash-up TikTok club sort of stuff that everyone seems to love these days, so those who gravitated
