YHETI
Yheti has written and released over 150 tracks across the internet datasphere. A fusion of a thousand inspirations Yheti’s live performances are self described as… “an ever morphing detailed sound sculpture that plays with the ears of those open to the more experimental, surreal, low end heavy side of electronic music. With the intention of creating a champion dance environment through innovative bass lines, interesting rhythms, and soul driven melodies.”
Over the past 10yrs Yheti has performed at many major festivals, headlined many venues across North America, toured with many champions of sound and gained the support of a few low-key famous people. 2030 will be a huge year for Yheti, so look far into the future or very deep into the present, put your ear close up to reality, and you may hear the faint rumble of subwoofers in the distance. This is an exploration of sound, technology, psychology and how it all interacts with the complex human condition we all experience. Rooted in love for art and moving forward with gusto.
TOADFACE
Championing his signature swampy sound since 2015, amphibious producer Toadface has made quite the splash in the dance music realm. The brainchild of Ohio native Todd Holler, the project quickly attracted the ears of listeners as a result of Holler’s unique approach to production – one that effortlessly fuses elements of trap and dubstep together to create a sound that was unheard of to fans of bass music at the time. A lifelong gamer, Holler drew inspiration from the imaginative landscapes of the virtual worlds he so often immersed himself in and harnessed those ideas in his creative output. Aside from gaming, Holler cites his older brother and fellow producer Yheti as his biggest inspiration and directly points to their tight knit relationship as a big reason his career has scaled to the point it’s reached today.
Dropping out of college in 2015 to pursue a career in music full time, Holler successfully seized the opportunity and never looked back. Since his humble beginnings touring tiny rooms alongside his brother, Toadface quickly carved out a niche of his own that fans have flocked to and continues to inspire his contemporaries. After a successful first tour supporting the likes of respected producers Yheti, DMVU and Of The Trees in 2017, Holler never let his foot off the gas pedal. On the back of an extremely successful ‘Bugs For Breakfast’ LP release on Liquid Stranger’s label Wakaan, Holler embarked on his first solo-headline tour in the Fall of 2019. It didn’t take long until Holler’s once underground sound was captivating some of the largest audiences in dance music and soon made him a regular of the North American festival circuit, landing him performances at Shambhala, EDC Las Vegas, Imagine, Lost Lands, Big Dub, Infrasound and more. Garnering support from dance veterans, Liquid Stranger, Mersiv, Of The Trees, DMVU, Eazybaked, and Yheti, it is undeniable that Holler’s sound served as the blueprint for many of his friends and colleagues.
As a struggling music industry regained its footing in the post pandemic landscape, Holler remains optimistic and energized about what lies ahead for the project. This upcoming November, Holler is set to embark on the Blue Collar Bass Tour supporting his labelmate TVBOO on 16 tour dates. To supplement his live appearances, fans can expect a new EP release forthcoming on the familiar Wakaan label – a culmination of new sonic exploration worked tirelessly on throughout the pandemic. Regardless of what else lies ahead for the future of the Toadface project, Holler says he’ll continue to work hard to release music that fulfills his original mission: to allow his listeners to have fun. When he finds himself in a creative stalemate, Holler often returns to the core idea harnessed in one of his most popular tracks ‘Serotonin Machinegun’ – a feeling he hopes to continuously recreate for his listeners with every new release.
Ternion Sound Bio
The trio known as Ternion Sound was born out of the Infrasound Music Festival in 2016 when producers Andrew, Aric, and Jack joined forces for an impromptu set on the Beach Stage. Their chemistry was infectious, and immediately obvious. When the three reconvened at a shared studio in Minneapolis, MN it was clear their bond was meant for more than just one festival set. The trio began producing together with the goal of respecting the UK sound, while simultaneously implementing their own production styles.
Ternion Sound embodies sound system culture. From the music they produce, to the live sets they DJ, to the intentionality they deliver, to the community they continue to develop in Minneapolis which then spreads to the rest of the World. The group is known for being at the forefront of sound design capability, which can be heard in each and every release. They also believe music education is of the utmost importance, as it has played such an integral role in their own growth.
Since the group’s first live appearance in 2016, they’ve been able to captivate the international dubstep community with releases on Duploc, Artikal, Chestplate, Deep Dark & Dangerous, Next Level, 1985, and Gourmet Beats. Their music has been supported by scene heavyweights such as Digital Mystikz, Mala, Truth, Caspa, Youngsta, Joker, D Double E, Distance, J:Kenzo, Bukez Finezt, Joe Nice, and many more. During 2019 the group went on its first international tour playing at Outlook Festival plus 8 shows in the UK, Netherlands, France, and Austria combined.
While the Spring of 2020 contained their first US headline tour comprising 20+ dates, a global pandemic had other ideas. To replace the lost time on the road, Ternion Sound chose to embrace their open schedule, and fill in the gaps with new content in various forms. They went on to create a Patreon which gives fans access to discord benefits, behind the scenes content, and exclusive music / samples. In addition to Patreon they have sold out of multiple, self-designed merchandise runs and further engrained their aesthetic awareness in fan’s eyes. On the release front, they’ve been able to capitalize on Bandcamp Fridays and have dropped a total of 12 different releases including both singles, EPs, and remix EPs. To showcase the music they love, they’ve continued to build their presence as great DJs by curating “Ternion Selects” as a bi-weekly mix for fans and listeners.
As the world has recentered itself in a post pandemic era, the trio has played a total of 60+ shows from May of 2021 to February of 2022. Notable acts they’ve played alongside within this timeframe include Peekaboo, EPROM, Yheti, Minnesota, The Widdler, and TRUTH. In addition to their touring success, they’ve continued to sell out self-designed merchandise runs to further accentuate their brand’s influence on the global dance music scene. In 2022 the group has plans to self-release their first full length album, release with new labels, and tour in Europe once again.
