ChaseWest is one of the hottest names emerging from the US underground scene in recent years. Born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1997, the Los Angeles based new kid on the block is bringing a fresh take on minimal tech. Influenced by gritty hip-hop & soul, highlighted by thumping basslines and late night grooves, ChaseWest has earned support from global heavy hitters such as Michael Bibi & Jamie Jones on releases off his own Chaste Records imprint. Watch out for his meteoric rise in 2025 and beyond.

Also at the leading edge of up-and-coming producers, Mexico’s maverick KinAhau has carefully crafted a sound that has earned his records widespread support from the industry’s heavyweights such as Jamie Jones, The Martinez Brothers, and Joseph Capriati. So it came as no surprise when Solid Grooves luminaire and industry touchstone Michael Bibi decided to collaborate with KinAhau and UK duo Audio Bullys on “Different Side,” which became one of the most highly anticipated ID requests in the scene last year. With a portfolio of unreleased club cuts resonating across the globe, the seed is sure to continue growing and flourishing for KinAhau.
