10 Undercard Acts You Shouldn't Sleep On

Los Angeles producer Garrett Murphy makes stutter-house that pulls from Fred again.., Chris Lake, and Flume in equal measure — which makes an early Friday slot on the same Earth stage Chris Lake headlines later that night a genuinely smart piece of scheduling. If you like where Lake's sound is headed, It's Murph is a preview of where it might go next.

Dirtwire is a bass-music trio that builds its sound around resonator guitars, banjos, and analog folk instrumentation layered under heavy electronic low end — a combination that doesn't sound like anything else at Elements. If you want proof that "bass music" at this festival covers more ground than dubstep, this is the set to catch.

Baltimore producer Gabrielle Mirabile has built her own sub-genre around what she calls "astral trap," pulling influence from CloZee, LSDREAM, and Liquid Stranger — three names that, not coincidentally, also appear elsewhere on this weekend's bill. Catching Zingara early on Fire is a good way to get oriented before the stage's bigger closers.

Brooklyn's Empire Breaks duo, DJ Shakey and Illexxandra, play back-to-back with a sound built around global bass, soundsystem culture, and classic club funk — a wider-ranging, crate-digging set on a Water stage otherwise dominated by dubstep and drum and bass. A good change of pace if you need a breather from the low end.

ProbCause is a rapper-producer who fuses live hip-hop vocals with bass-music production, and he's part of CloZee's curated Odyzey takeover on Saturday's Earth stage. On a bill that's overwhelmingly DJs and electronic producers, ProbCause is one of the only genuine hip-hop sets all weekend — worth catching for the contrast alone.

Skysia is part of the same Odyzey takeover as ProbCause and Opiuo, representing a new wave of melodic, texture-driven bass producers that trade pure aggression for atmosphere. If CloZee's own sound is the reason you're at the Earth stage Saturday afternoon, Skysia is exactly the kind of act her curation was built to spotlight.

Henry Pope brings a UK garage-leaning sound to Saturday's genre-blending Water stage bill, which otherwise spans dubstep and drum and bass for most of the day. UK garage is one of the rarest tags on the entire lineup — only two artists at the whole festival play it — which makes this one of the more distinctive sets you can catch all weekend.

Tractorbeam is a bass-music project from members of The Disco Biscuits, channeling years of jam-scene improvisation into glitchy electronic production. It's a genuinely unusual lineage for a festival built on DJs and producers, and it shows in a looser, more exploratory set structure than most of the bill.

Cloud Conductor is the ambient, downtempo-leaning alias of Daily Bread, who also plays a full bass set on the Earth stage that same day. Catching both sides of the same artist on one lineup is a rare bit of scheduling trivia, and Cloud Conductor's set is a genuine change of pace if you need to come down from a day of bass-heavy stages.

Jackie Hollander is a Bay Area DJ-producer who first learned to spin at summer camp and was named Billboard's Dance Up-And-Comer for May 2026. Her driving, melodic house sets have made her one of the fastest-rising names on the circuit — catching her on an undercard slot now is the kind of thing you'll be glad you did in a year or two.
