Eptic Opens Up About Music Career Difficulties After Nearly 15 Years as a DJ

Belgian bass artist Eptic has gotten candid about the difficulties he faced while finding his path throughout 15 years as a DJ.

Belgian DJ/producer Eptic has carved an indelible niche in the bass music scene, but not without hard work. Hailing from the small town of Dilbeek, Eptic’s journey began when he discovered dubstep at the age of 15. Eptic, who has gained acclaim in the industry with his unique mix of dubstep, trap, and bass music, got candid about his difficulties over the years.

In his post, he notes that it “ kinda felt like [his] music career was on this downward slope for a while” which caused him to lose confidence. As someone who has tirelessly worked at his career since he was 17, Eptic adds that he has “constantly invested all the money [he] made in trying to do cool sh*t”. Despite the recent difficulties, Eptic is back in the game after selling 3000+ tickets the past two weekends.

Eptic boasts releases on prominent labels like Never Say Die and Monstercat. His breakthrough moment came with his viral track “Death,” showing a knack for bone-rattling basslines and intricate soundscapes. Furthermore, “Like a Boss” and “Gun Finga” also gained immense traction, showcasing his unparalleled ability to craft hard-hitting beats.

Eptic has also graced world-class stages such as Tomorrowland and EDC, solidifying his status as a must-see live act. His evolution continues to captivate audiences worldwide, as he remains at the forefront of the bass music movement. Furthermore, his collaborations with artists like Zeds Dead and MUST DIE! underscore his raw talent and promising bass music career.

With a musical arsenal that reflects both his artistic growth and commitment to pushing through the scene’s inertia, Eptic is undoubtedly a mainstay act to look out for. Eptic will be playing in Dallas and Houston next week, so be sure to catch him if you’re in town! For more information on Eptic and his tour dates, click here.

Having grown up just an earshot from Ultra Miami’s venue Bayfront Park, it was next to impossible for me not to fall in love with electronic music. My love for music was evidently strong enough for me to write my college essay on festival culture and continue attending Ultra for 10+ years now. I have always had a knack for writing and the power of words, which I continued cultivating through a Philosophy degree in college. Now, I am finishing up law school and hope to merge my passions by working in the music industry. I am an avid traveler and am certainly not afraid to hop on a plane for a music event. My next bucket list items to attend are Tomorrowland in Belgium and ADE in the Netherlands. Though the list could go on forever, some of my favorite artists include Franky Wah, Kevin de Vries, Eli Brown, and John Summit.
