This July, Relentless Beats will be kicking off their 5th annual Trapfest at the Pressroom in Downtown Phoenix and it will definitely be one for the books. The Trap music resurgence began with southern rappers in places like Atlanta making music that focused on heavy. hard-hitting beats combined with raw and gritty lyrics. Not before long artists like Yellowclaw, GTA, Flosstradamus and of course Party Favor, started working with Trap artists to create a hard-hitting combination of deep dirty bass and gritty lyrical flow. Trap is an ingenious blend of the heavy bass that dominates mosh-pits and the Atlanta hype that gets people jumping off their feet.
This year's Trapfest will include the one and only Vomitstep master Snails, who is known for his unique sounds and dirty bass, Party Favor who is known to remix some of the best current music into dance hits, 4B who makes rapid fire beats that keep the crowd moving, JSTR an electronic hip-hop influenced DJ, and none other than the heavy bass duo, Two Owls.
That isn't all the talent though, Thomas Turner and the team over at Relentless Beats are making sure that this is a night to remember. On the outdoor stage Relentless Beats will be having ATLiens who just released a new song with Bassnectar, Bailo, Havok Roth and Wooly Mammoth, all of which have been experimenting with ways to create new sounds in the Trap genre.
Last year's Trapfest was a crazy good time with TroyBoi hitting the heavy bass sweet spot and GTA coming out and absolutely destroyed the crowd with nothing but bangers. I have no doubt that Thomas Turner and Relentless Beats will top themselves again and put on a great show.
