Artist Spotlight: polyte Coming out of Squamish, polyte brings a deep and melodic sound rooted in downtempo dubstep, UKG, breaks, and ethereal bass music. Drawing inspiration from the forests and rivers of the Pacific Northwest, his sets blend organic textures, flowing bass, and atmospheric grooves built for deeper listening and movement. With a background in bands and East Coast Irish folk, polyte brings a warm, musical feel to the sound system. He is also a founding member of Squamish’s Family Kitchen Collective, helping build community focused dancefloors and grassroots electronic music spaces. Recent highlights include opening for Slynk at Trickster’s Hideout and supporting Kootenay legends CHIMP IT on the road in February 2026. We’re hyped to have polyte with us for The Laboratory: Zen Lab Edition at Bassterdam Alley. Tickets available now. Link in bio.

Artist Spotlight @basscoastfest @basscoaststreetteam UK-based producer and DJ @hypho.mnk has carved out a distinct lane in bass music, known for deep, weighty sound design, crisp percussion, and a relentless stream of quality releases. His sound lives where dubstep, grime, and forward-thinking bass meet, pushing things forward while staying rooted in the culture. I caught Hypho in Squamish in 2025 and it was a watershed moment in my bass music journey. Something about the precision, the energy, and the intention behind his set just clicked. Since then, following his path, his consistency, and his commitment to community and culture has been a huge inspiration. In a scene that can drift from its roots, Hypho stays grounded in what makes this music special: connection, community, and sound system culture. Don’t miss his set at Bass Coast 2026. This one’s gonna slap 💥 #basscoast #bassmusic

bass night two 🪼 nov 20 @trickstershideout

A few years ago, I went to my first Shambs, and something shifted. Since then, bass music has taken me on a journey of deep healing and sonic exploration. I started DJing a few months back and instantly fell in love. Crafting soundscapes and letting low-end frequencies roll through my soul and the souls of everyone in the room is a special kind of magic I’m so grateful to have found. I’ve chosen the moniker “polyte” because it’s the ethereal bass, melodic textures, and polite drops that move me most deeply. Throwing down tonight @trickstershideout with some of my best friends. Welcome to the journey 💜

our little family kitchen will be cooking next week, Oct 23rd @trickstershideout come get your monthly dose of 140 to keep all the demons at bay 👻
