While things are shifting, women producers still deserve way more recognition š
Here are six killer bass music releases that dropped in April.
Which ones are you feeling the most?
Soa420ās first soundsystem was her family.
A Franco-Malagasy household in the Paris suburbs, raised on her siblingsā reggae and dancehall and her motherās Malagasy singing. Music as something spiritual before it was ever a dancefloor question. The clubs came later, in Berlin, where she figured out what she was actually chasing: a body, a soundsystem, the physical thing.
She brought it back to Nantes in 2018, embedded at Macadam, and co-founded Zone Rouge a year later. Her debut EP No Nerve landed on Beatrice M.ās Bait in September 2024. Red Island, a nod to Madagascar, drops in a few weeks.
This Friday she opens WORMS at Badaboum, alongside Sam Binga, Samurai Breaks, and Vitaline.

How do you go from the Opera to becoming an underground DJ?
Thatās the fascinating journey of the artist Vitaline.
Before she was rocking clubs, the French artist grew up in classical music.
Fifteen years of piano, jazz saxophone, musicology studies... all the way to working for the Operaās production team.
But that world became too small. So she stepped behind the decks and broke the boundaries between genres.
In her sets, her classical roots blend with the intensity of the dancefloor. She refuses to stick to just one style, fusing heavy basses, sharp breaks, hypnotic techno, and Latin rhythms.
A genre-blending approach that has taken her to some of Europe and Asiaās most prestigious clubs.
And this Friday, Vitaline takes over Badaboum for STUDIOās WORMS party, alongside Sam Binga, Samurai Breaks, and Soa420.

gyrofield launches new label with debut EP, Your Fight
The Hong Kong-born, Netherlands-based artist is entering a new chapter with the launch of their own imprint, introduced through a three-track debut project.
Framed as a personal reset and a reclaiming of creative control, Ā«Ā Field Research will be a home for the future of my emotionally-entangled music,Ā Ā» gyrofield explains, Ā«Ā where Iām free to determine what, when, and how I release.Ā Ā»
Your Fight makes that vision tangible. The EP moves through jungle, drum & bass, breakbeat, leftfield, IDM, and techno.
Itās raw, unique, and deliberately hard to categorize.
Thereās a producer from Bristol who mixed Jamaican sound system, american rap, and UK rave into one groove.
His name? Sam Binga.
For over a decade, heās been blending jungle, footwork, and grime into one fluid sound. Something a very few producers can truly pull off.
Heās part of the first wave of UK artists to combine Chicagoās one sixty bpm with the roots of British jungle... and it changed bass music forever.
On May 15th, he comes to Paris, at Badaboum, for the second edition of WORMS, hosted by STUDIO, with Samurai Breaks, Vitaline, and Soa420.

Thereās a UK producer pushing jungle into new territory. You might not know his name yet.
Samurai Breaks has built a sound that stands apart. High BPMs, ultra-chopped breaks, raw energy that somehow stays fully controlled. Few artists balance chaos and precision like this, while keeping it so much fun.
Heās already played at Boomtown Fair, Glastonbury Festival, and Outlook Festival, but still feels like a well-kept secret.
In the club, heās gone b2b with heavyweight like Mandidextrous, Sully, and Addison Groove.
Now heās coming to Paris.
On May 15, he lands at Badaboum for WORMS hosted by STUDIO, alongside Sam Binga, Vitaline, and Soa420.

Audio & Ed Rush have officially resurrected Killbox ā ļø
After a 5-year hiatus spent on their solo projects, the legendary duo is back with the aptly named Killer of Killers EP, a strictly balls-to-the-wall neurofunk project.
We caught up with the masterminds to talk about their return, why they teamed up with fresh UK label Valkyrie to bring back the lost art of the rave community (and vinyl!), and their mission to put the UKās stamp back on the global neurofunk scene.
