A guaranteed force to be reckoned with on the stage, projecting power into the party to keep it live or finish the stage with the mood held high, he's always committed to send it every time and set the venue off.

An appearance on Keysound Recordings with a collaboration with 9TRANE “Hollow Point/Box”, represents a degree of international validation, widely considered one of the most influential curators of the modern "London Sound" sitting at the intersection of Grime, Dubstep & UK Bass music - having hosted foundational releases by artists such as Burial, Sully, Walton & Skream, this positions Krypsis within a lineage of producers pushing the boundaries of 130 & 140 BPM music. Bringing a unique blend within this realm, his expertise in low-end bass heavy selections and productionscombined with his technical skills as a DJ, sets him apart from others in the field. Achieving global recognition by featuring in the Top 10 on Beatport and Juno, his tracks have received airplay on prominent Australian and New Zealand radio stations including RTRFM92.1, fBi Radio, GeorgeFM & triple j, as well as international stations like RinseFM, KoolFM, SWU.FM, NTS Radio, movement.athens, SubFM, and Noisia Radio.

Alongside his music, he is the co-founder of Dubble Press, a Sydney event series championing UK Garage, Grime, and underground club culture, helping connect local artists with the city’s growing scene.
WALLACE
Wallace has been making a name for himself since early 2025 as one of the most talented bar for bar rap artists coming out of Sydney. Originally from Wollongong, Wallace began making waves off the back of tracks like ‘Cold World’ and ‘A Succulent Chinese Meal’ which were among the first Australian rap songs to be heavily influenced by Michigan and Detroit trap music, particularly in their production style. Since then Wallace has consistently showcased an ability to balance technical lyricism, memorable storytelling and a unique sense of humor. Wallace’s recent releases have maintained a similar high energy, with an emphasis on wordplay and tongue in cheek humour in his lyrics. Wallace lists the two most important things about making music for him are; the ability to connect with his supporters and other artists and also to continually evolve as an artist. If the few melodic flows off his debut EP ‘323’, and features on songs like ‘dreams’ (feat:choc, adnam) were anything to go off, this evolution is one you shouldn’t miss.
