When it comes to the underground bass scene in New York, The Rust is undoubtedly responsible for the culture that exists today.
While they are not the only East Coast collective that has contributed to the proliferation of this art form over the past decade, they are one of the most influential, and it’s because of shows like this.
For two nights, attendees will get the opportunity to witness nine artists who, combined, stand as a testament to The Rust’s commitment to pushing forward hybrid sounds and their undying ability to sculpt this scene with nuanced curations.

Night 1 – Friday 4/10
parkbreezy
The chancellor of chill-hop, one of the original all:Lo flame keepers, a genre-hopping, tempo-switching frequency shifter, parkbreezy is your Friday night headliner for the Brooklyn stop of the Binary Bloom tour. While we love his trademark sets, we’re looking forward to witnessing him side-step into a more dance-oriented “breaks set” for this particular performance.
VCTRE (chill set)
Best known for designing some of the most aggressive neuro bangers in the bass scene, VCTRE has a discography that wouldn’t make it past airport security. But this amphibious explorer is capable of siphoning several styles, one of which is the calmer waters of downtempo and ambient music. For VCTRE, “music has been a healing tool,” with performances like this chill set acting as a way for him to “truly express [himself].”
The brainchild of pheel. and parkbreezy, a precursor to the ethers now swirling in the all:Lo laboratories, Morning Coffee makes music that’s easy to sip. Spacey boombap, swift-handed scratching, and a velvet lace tie their sets together with attendees getting the chance to witness magic not once, but twice this weekend.
SAM-E
New York native and founder of Brooklyn-based Common Unity Records, SAM-E’s sonic architecture is as diverse as the city itself. Weaving together compositions influenced by his Jamaican and Korean roots, performing everything from house and breaks to jungle and hip hop, with history working with acts like Eartheater, Sega Bodega, and Wiki, expect a buffet of beats when he gets behind the boards.
Beginning to make his mark on the Brooklyn-bass scene, TALEX is gathering steam with recent releases on Gravitas and all:Lo portraying a developing trademark sound. While much of his recent work delves into cinematic, emotive drum and bass, his flips and beatmaking prowess convey a party starter capable of setting the mood perfectly for Friday night’s festivities.
Come for the beats. Stay for the cuts. We became fixated on pheel. in 2021 upon release of his stunted EP, a project that undeniably cemented his swagger and positioning in the burgeoning boom-bap-bass field. Since then, he catalyzed his sonic cartography through turntablism, distinct sampling skills, and a chiseled flow likened to a Shaolin monk. Super rare journey set en route.
Ian Ewing
Adding even more depth to a spectrum already rich with flavor, multi-instrumentalist Ian Ewing will be brewing his own unique blend of hip-hop, electronica, and R&B as the special guest for Saturday night. Dig a slice from his Nitefeelzseries to better understand the dopamine boosters he’s capable of dispensing.
Vinja is a veteran in every sense of the word, with decades of practice sharpening his scratching and dialing in a trademark design. As one of the early pioneers of this odd, turntablism/bass matrix we find ourselves in, expect an onslaught of glitch-infused, sample-ridden speaker shakers.
Squalpat
With a taste that extends through jazz, hip hop, R&B, and even a bit of squelchy bass, Squalpat’s palette is reflective of The Rust’s evolution from a “bass label” to a multigenre music collective. Whether it’s his diverse approach to electronic music or any of the other eight acts on this lineup, this show exemplifies why The Rust still remains one of the East Coast’s most capable event curators for underground music.
