The Burgeoning Bay Area Bass Scene: Looking Into 2012

If you overdosed on the easy listening sounds of 2011, there is a chillwave backlash thriving in the Bay in the form of bass (avoiding the term "dubstep" since it also became a bad word in 2011).

Minnesota‘s single Sun Burst landed on a lot of electronic music lovers year-end lists, and 2012 holds even more excitement for the DJ boy wonder as he announced today he’s part of the Coachella lineup.

Another up-and-comer in the scene is Sound Science who recently released his first remix and is currently at work on his first EP. Expect a Deli preview of the reclusive DJ’s debut performance this year (rumor is he is the hot guy above).
