Evalution Gains Major ‘Momentum’ with a Heavy Funky Bass EP full of Bounce! [Subcarbon] Born and raised in Tampa, FL, Evan Cazes, known behind the decks as Evalution, first discovered his passion for music at eight years old. After pressing the keys of his father’s grand piano for the very first time, his infatuation with music grew exponentially. Evalution quickly took on other instruments such as guitar, bass guitar, and drums, and, he began to develop his musical style and personal tastes by learning to play songs from his early musical influences such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. As Evalution continued improving his performance skills and expanding his knowledge of music he was eventually exposed to the art of DJing. Within his first year at Florida State University, Evalution earned himself weekly residencies at Tallahassee’s premier nightlife venues: Potbelly’s Concert Garden, TENN Nightclub, G.V.O. Nightclub, and Recess Nightclub. It was during this time that Evalution discovered his passion for music production. Since beginning the self-taught journey of music production in 2018, Evalution has honed his craft and released MANY TRACKS, REMIXES, AND MASHUPS that have garnered support from some of the biggest names in the industry, such as ADVENTURE CLUB, JAUZ, Blunts & Blondes, TVBOO, AND MORE. As of the writing of this biography, Evalution has upwards of 15k monthly listeners on Spotify and has gained over half a million SoundCloud plays. He has also landed label releases with some of the top labels in bass music including Subcarbon Records, Bassrush, Subsidia, and Bite This. Evalution has also been featured in largely recognized blogs within in the EDM community, including HeardItHereFirst, Electric Hawk, EDM Identity, Headbang Society, and Wubaholics. 2021 was the year of establishing his style and break-though firsts; multiple festival performances (EDCO, Sunset Music Festival, Home Bass) and releasing a large catalogue of innovative music. Fresh off of his new 6 Track EP titled “Momentum” via Subcarbon Records, Evan is currently sitting on copious amounts of unreleased material and is ready for a monumental 2022.

Phocust Rises from the Underground as Subcarbon’s Newest ‘King’ [SubCarbon] Phocust follows his SubCarbon entrance tune ‘Cool WIP’, this time bringing the full package with his 6-track ‘King EP’. Returning to his signature melodic wobble sound that we all know and love him for, Phocust teams up with some real heavy hitters in today’s bass music scene. Featuring collaborations with Notixx, Green Matter, Forgotten Sounds, and (Dancehall MC) Clinton Sly, this EP is fully loaded with enough ammo to fire us straight into 2022 with a bang. Following his recent Halloween release ‘Rise’ with Forgotten Sounds, the two go head to head again for a whole new vibe of wobbly goodness. And to top it off we see Phocust return to his love for Drum & Bass with the final track of the EP titled ‘Rush’. This melodic bass engineer is coming into 2022 full-speed and don’t be surprised if you see him taking stages by storm at many of the major festivals next year.
Jaenga Returns to Wakaan Giving Dubstep a Deeper Meaning with ‘Paradigms’ [Wakaan] Following his explosive WAKAAN debut last September 2020 with “Tell Man What” in collaboration with Conrank and Yizzy, Jaenga is returning to Liquid Stranger’s imprint for his electrifying Paradigms EP. Glistening synths and charming vocals ride blissful sound waves in “Refraction.” Manchester-based Nat James lends his rap prowess in the subsequent two tracks. The two artists command attention to all who listen through menacing lyricism and gritty patterns in “Badda,” followed by elongated bass dominance and addicting splices in “How We Do.” Eliminate all fears in “Don’t Worry” as buoyant, groovy bass frequencies ricochet across venue walls. “Heya Heya” closes the EP through a sonic excursion alongside dreamy vocal chops and luminous sensatories. “I was reading a book on paradigms and how we all view the world in our own unique way. No matter how hard we try, we’ll never see things objectively, but we can at least learn to communicate in a more effective way to respect one another’s perspective — even if we don’t fully understand. Paradigms is an EP designed for a specific mind-state. It is designed to bring high energy to whatever paradigm you live in. Its purpose is to bring you closer to whatever dream, mission or vision you are chasing — through the power of bass.” —Jaenga
