"MOST WANTED" SEASON 3, Presented by Dubstep FBI

A showcase of the producers who have caught the attention of the Filthy Beat Inspectors, updated every season.

Dubstep FBI's signature tagline, We are always listening, has been the basis for discovering the hardest and grimiest beats through the bass music scene.

In season 1 we put out warrants for Codd Dubz, MIRR.IMG, Jeanie, M?stic, and FOCUSS. We received statements on their music history and the ideas behind their featured tracks.

Our goal is to continue finding those who have committed heinous crimes of murderous beats, tear-out carnage melodies, and bass-face-inducing comas of fans. The producers coming into 2022 will be the next uprise of talent and festival toppers.

This is Dubstep FBI's "Most Wanted List" of those who we see huge potential in the coming years with their music and presence in bass music.

In Season two, we explored up-and-coming female artists such as Zingara, Sharlitz Web, and Sippy!

This season, we are focusing outside the realm of purely dubstep and bass music, stay tuned to find out who's at the top of our radar.

FBI Most Wanted Subject No. 1 HARTSHORN

Name: Weston Hartshorn

Location: Denver, Colorado

Featured track: 'Told You So'

Artist Confession:

“The biggest drive for this style of track is the highly emotional vocals. Something about happy hardcore that has always stuck with me for years is the constant emotional, sometimes even sad vocals combined with an uplifting melody and that continues in my work.

The excitement of being on stage is hard to totally explain in words, but with each performance, helping those in the crowd escape their daily problems even for a bit of time with music is a warmth that drives every day.

For the fans, the support you give has every bit that helped create where Hartshorn is today. I thank you, and we can only make it stronger."

FBI Most Wanted Subject No. 4 Zingara

Location: Baltimore, Maryland

Featured track: Astra ft. Miracle

Artist Confession:

“At first, I wanted to make a song to play at the beginning of my sets. I asked my friend Mira to be the voice behind what I wanted for an intro, and I loved it. I realized I could make so switch-ups much more out of the song itself so I decided to sit down with her and write out a small meditation. I thought it would be cool to have switch-ups and to take people on a journey, but I also wanted something I could split up throughout my sets to tell a story when I perform. I basically wanted to combine my love for music, meditation, and the spirit world in a way to help heal the collective.

“So much inspires me to write music. From my experiences in my life, my interactions with the spirit world, my friends who create all forms of art, and going to live shows and seeing other performers tell their own story.”

FBI Most Wanted Subject No. 4 is Sharlitz Web

Artist Name: Grace Stockdale Location: Chicago, Illinois

Featured track: Spider Cider- Headbang Society Premiere

Artist Confession:

"I was experimenting with my sound, and wanted to dive deeper into creating something that was more uplifting than my darker stuff. I felt like it was what really opened up my eyes to this other side of me- and it pushed me out of my comfort zone which continued to inspire me even to this day.

Some days I feel like the inspiration is flowing and i can find it in the littlest things- like taking a walk, talking to a friend, my friend’s music, animals, a lava lamp, nature... and other days I find myself feeling extremely inspired by my goals and the baby steps I’ve taken to get to where I’m at now.

I’ve always been so captivated by bass music and the way it makes me feel. I am so grateful for all the subgenres of bass music these days. I love creating experimental bass, wonky stuff, and some deep dub, alongside some hybrid trap. I absolutely plan on releasing some other genres eventually as I progress as an artist throughout my journey."

FBI Most Wanted Subject No. 4 is SIPPY

Mugshot:

Artist Name: Laura Patterson Location: Sydney, Australia

Featured track: Down With Your Love- SIPPY Remix

Artist Confession:

"I mean first off, it's a remix, not a completely original track of mine - so there is some collaboration there from the Riot boys' original version of the track. But I wanted to take a more melodic and old-school dubstep vibe to the track whilst also keeping the hype vibe.

Honestly, quite often I feel the most inspired when I feel I have unlimited time to sit down and the computer to write. It's the time when I feel I can just experiment without being interrupted. Often I'm inspired by watching other artists perform and listening to music - but it's often genres that are vastly different from what I write in that inspires me the most."

FBI Most Wanted Subject No. 3 LOUIEJAYXX

Mugshot:

Artist Name: Luis and Jerry Carrillo Location: Laredo, Texas

Featured track: NAZAAR - SHADOWS (ft. LOUIEJAYXX)

Artist Confession:

"When we confirmed a collaboration with Nazaar, what inspired us was that we wanted to create the most anticipated track of 2022 in the dubstep scene. That was our mindset all along when creating 'Shadows".

Experiencing our own performances, traveling, meeting our supporters, and seeing the growth from where we started to where we are now, really inspires us to keep making more music."

FBI Most Wanted Subject No. 2 is SISTO

Mugshot:

Artist Name: Nick Sisto Location: San Jose/The Bay Area

Featured track: SISTO X PROSECUTE - CHAINSAW PARADE

Artist Confession:

"This track was way overdue for us after playing each other's music for ages now. It's a huge relief to get this one out there because it feels like this encapsulates the relationship we've built behind the scenes as we've grown over the last few years. At the end of the day, we're just huge fans of one another. It was pretty effortless once we put our heads together because we have similar music tastes and influences. No doubt in our minds that this is the first of many to come.

I started making music for the sole purpose of an escape from the world. Music has always had this ability to create these pockets of memories and times in my life that I will always remember. Consistently chasing that feeling and creating those memories for others, inspires me more than anything."

FBI Most Wanted Subject No. 1 is VOLT

Mugshot:

Artist Name: Rod Dawson Location: Brisbane, Australia- Los Angeles, California for the last 6 years

Featured track: 12th Planet - Supernova (Volt Remix)

Artist Confession:

12th Planet asked if I would do a remix super last minute for him- which I love. It creates a weird type of pressure with short deadlines, especially when doing a remix for a friend. As for Inspiration, I wanted to mix the already dubstep record and bring a PSY-Trance vibe to it. I call it PSY-DUB! I have done this style a few times in the past but let’s just say there will be a lot more of this in 2022! 2022 the year of the PSY-DUB!

I just love to create! A lot of people don’t know this about me, but I have dyslexia. So, for me making music and creating art is a way to express myself without having to utilize words.

There is no better feeling than dropping an unreleased track. Hearing the crowd lose their minds screaming for the track- and me, having the same feeling I had when making it in the studio! That’s a big thing in my creative process. In the studio by myself, imagining a sold-out show, and how the record will feel in that environment!

Lately, my biggest inspiration has been PSY-DUB! I really love to experiment in the creative process with vibe mashing the 2 genres of DUBSTEP and PSYTRANCE!"
