For the past 13 years, the Pivotal Agency has helped shape the electronic and jam sectors through their work as a premier booking and management agency.
Two other entities that have developed right alongside Pivotal in nearly the exact same timespan are Gravitas Recordings, a highly coveted label in the bass scene with releases from the likes of Of The Trees, CloZee, and AHEE, and Empire Control Room & Garage a legendary venue that has been a staple of the Austin music scene for the past decade.
This New Year’s Eve, these three powerhouses combine to ring in 2026 the best way they know how – by throwing one hell of a party.
Keep scrolling to learn a little more about why this is a must-attend event this NYE in Austin.
The Music
The Desert Dwellers
These high-priests of the dune-swept madness are peddling a tribal medicine that will turn your lizard brain inside out. It is a slow-motion hallucinogenic crawl through the dust, perfect for the kind of person who finds God in a cactus and thunder in the absolute silence of the desert.
KR3TURE
A PhD-toting sound designer who traded plant-life for the high-voltage hum of the electronic frontier. He commands the stage with a live-wire guitar, conjuring a soulful, backwoods ruckus that feels like a spiritual awakening in the middle of a swamp fire. It’s the kind of music you’d hear at the end of the world if the end of the world had a decent horn section.
Dimond Saints
These Oakland sorcerers are brewing a dark, cinematic soup of future-noir that is designed to transport you from the dancefloor to worlds beyond. It is a heavy, ritualistic thump designed to rattle the teeth of God and lure the ghosts of the bay into a digital fever dream from which there is no escape.
Defunk
The Canadian bass maven known as Defunk is a high-velocity funk-mechanic, stripping down the sounds of modern electronica and rebuilding them with enough heavy-duty bass to liquefy your sound system.
Megan Hamilton
A savage blend of hip-hop swagger and house-music depravity that hits like a velvet sledgehammer to the temple. Hamilton commands the decks with a wicked grin, spinning a web of funk-heavy chaos that turns dancefloors into swirling pits of jubilation.
Mystic Grizzly
This is neuro-scrambling madness designed by a man who clearly talks to forest spirits and listens to the screams of the cosmos. Mystic Grizzly serves up a twitchy, psychedelic slurry of glitch that’ll have you checking your shoes for spiders and your soul for static interference.
Flintwick
A strange, squelching creature from the Arkansas backwoods, tinkering with sounds that shouldn’t exist in a civilized society. It is a quirky, high-tension bounce that feels like being chased through a swamp by a digital alligator on a high-speed bicycle.
Openers
As for the openers, we’ve got Edamame – a rising force in Chicago’s bass scene, Brede – the owner and operator of Gravitas, and Yawei – a local Austin producer who has been developing her own exotic blend known as “Bohemian Bass.”
Aside from the music, the two-room event will feature live painters, vendors, and many more surprises. Grab your tickets to the event here and keep up with everything Pivotal, Gravitas, and Empire have going on in the links below!
