Christian Smith (born March 2, 1997), known professionally as Crankdat, is an American DJ and electronic dance music producer. Smith grew up desiring to be an athlete, but ultimately turned down a full-ride track-and-field scholarship to Kent State University to pursue music, producing energetic and melodically vibrant electronic dance music as Crankdat. Smith began making music while still in high school. Smith originally gained recognition for remixing other artists' tracks, including Fetty Wap's breakout single, "Trap Queen." Eventually these remixes racked up millions of plays and Smith, barely out of his teens, was getting attention from bigger names in electronic dance music such as Skrillex and The Chainsmokers. Crankdat released original tracks as he toured, including the Jauz collaboration "I Hold Still" as well as the triumphant "Dollars," both in 2017.[5][6] In 2019, Crankdat embarked on his ambitious, "Gearworld", tour. He even designed his own artwork and animations for his live show visuals.

Pulling inspiration from his love for emo/punk rock and the brostep era of dubstep, electronic artist Ray Volpe began producing at the age of 12 and has captured millions of listeners since. The 24 year old artist nicknamed “Volpetron” by fans who’ve picked up the name from his producer tag excels in every corner of the electronic scene; from video games to the largest festivals in the world, his music can be heard and recognized anywhere. Combining both heavy and melodic influence, along with his own vocals, Ray has created his own unique sound that has earned him support from Excision, DJ Snake, Illenium, and countless other household names from the dance scene. After releasing on OWSLA, Never Say Die, Subsidia, and others, the Los Angeles-based producer has signed with dubstep’s iconic label Disciple. With the biggest names in bass music behind him as well as recent collaboration with NGHTMRE (with Marshmello, Adventure Club, Sullivan King, & more on the way), this sad dubstep boy is well on his way to world domination. Are you ready for the rise of the Volpetron?
