It’s easy to be overwhelmed with all the bass talent popping up in the world of electronic dance music, but Redrum deserves your attention for being one of its fastest rising stars for all the right reasons. Inspired by Stephen King’s concept of “The Shining,” this Portland-based artist’s enchanting sounds invite listeners on a magical musical journey while serving up a lethal dose of bass along the way. Already a Wakaan fan-favorite and receiving Liquid Stranger’s stamp of approval, that should tell you everything you need to know!
