Kumarion and Smoakland Unleash Electrifying EP Collaboration

Drum & bass sensation, Kumarion, and dubstep duo, Smoakland, released their highly anticipated EP, High Rollers.

With the collision of drum & bass and explosive dubstep, Kumarion and Smoakland have combined their musical prowess to deliver an electrifying, high-energy EP consisting of three adrenaline fueling tracks. Premiering on Zed Dead’s Deadbeats on May 12th, 2023 this collaboration explores the boundaries of electronic music creating a unique genre within itself that could be called… DrumDub?

Hailing from Seattle, the producer Omar Kadmiri, widely known as Kumarion, has been fearlessly transversing the realm of drum & bass since 2015. Infusing his tracks with a mix of distorted sine compression bass and haunting reeses, Kumarion pays homage to his North African/Middle Eastern heritage, creating a truly unique sonic sound experience. With a stellar track record including the scorching hit “Want It,” which received a staggering 4.2 million Spotify streams.

He has rightfully earned recognition and gained support from heavy hitters in the industry like RL Grime. In fact, his defying talent landed him a well-deserved spot on Billboard’s list of “10 Dance Artists to Watch in 2022.” This producer knows no bounds in defying genres as he fearlessly explores the field of drum & bass. With endless creativity, we eagerly anticipate the extraordinary musical landscapes he will unveil throughout the remainder of 2023.

Originating from the West Coast, Anthony Battaglia and Harrison Hays embarked on their electronic journey when their paths intertwined at Boise State University. United by their shared love for iconic Bay Area cannabis culture and, of course, dubstep music, the duo established Smoakland in 2018. Leveraging Anthony’s production talent and Harry’s expert DJ skills, the two have worked to deliver a nostalgic soundscape reminiscent of “old-school” dubstep.

Drawing inspiration from industry OG’s such as Zeds Dead and Eptic, Smoakland has gained remarkable international recognition, earning notable features like UKF’s acclaimed “Who the Hell is Smoakland.” Their achievements are further highlighted by recent performances at prestigious venues like Red Rocks, where they mesmerized audiences as Liquid Smoak, their drum & bass alias. Notably, their Deadbeats EP titled “Smoak Sesh” soared to the top of the Beatport Dubstep charts in the fall of 2022, solidifying their position as formidable forces in the dubstep scene.

Prepare to be entranced as these highly accomplished artists seamlessly merge their distinctive styles, giving birth to the captivating and dynamic High Rollers EP. With its irresistible energy, this EP is bound to captivate dance enthusiasts and leave them craving for more.

An Atlanta gal chasing her love for electronic dance music. I’ve been with Exron since 2018 and have the privilege of contributing to the culture alongside other badass women whom I now call my friends. My introduction to the scene was first influenced by trap music, but my discography has since expanded to touch a bit of everything. Some of my favorite artists are Zeds Dead, Cloonee, Nghtmre, Flume, Infekt, Sosa, Bleu Clair, Subtronics, but the list goes on forever.
