Crankdat in Reno

Crankdat is the stage name of American producer and DJ Christian Smith, a Cleveland native who makes dubstep, bass house and melodic electronic music. He first became known for his “re-cranks,” remixes that rebuilt existing dance tracks in his own bass-heavy style. His original catalogue includes “Dollars,” “STFU,” the Slander collaboration “Kneel Before Me” featuring Asking Alexandria, and the release Slaughter House. Crankdat has performed DJ sets at EDC Las Vegas and Bass Canyon, presenting both the melodic and heavier sides of his catalogue. He has also played Lost Lands, whose programming centers on dubstep and bass music.

Levity is an American electronic trio based in Chicago, comprising John Hauldren, PJ Carberry and Josh Tarum. The group plays bass music and dubstep and is best known for “Flip It,” its collaboration with rapper and producer Dem Jointz. In 2023, the trio filled an open performance time at the Honeycomb stage during Electric Forest. Videos of the surprise set circulated online, and the group returned on the event’s official lineup the following year. Their later festival appearances have included Lost Lands in Ohio and North Coast Music Festival in Illinois.
