From its roots in the deepest corners of the underground to its current status as a genre enjoying widespread commercial appeal, the progression of bass music has been incredibly inspiring to witness. Despite its increasing popularity, one thing the bass music community has consistently upheld is its commitment to quality. This dedication has resulted in a steady stream of exceptional releases throughout the year. Artists, producers, and DJs alike have continued to push creative boundaries, blending innovation with authenticity, and ensuring that the genre remains vibrant and forward-thinking. These genres, once niche and understated, have now found their way into the mainstream without losing their essence or edge. So, as 2024 draws to a close, it’s the perfect moment to spotlight the artists who made a significant impact this year—those who broke barriers, reimagined the genre, and achieved monumental breakthroughs. We’ll also honor the trailblazers who propelled bass music to unprecedented heights, showcasing that this genre isn’t just holding its ground in the mainstream but flourishing like never before. **KASRA** Even if Kasra were to retire today and take the well-earned rest he deserves, his contributions to drum & bass would still be remembered for generations to come. That enduring legacy is exactly what defines him as a trailblazer. This year, Kasra’s music flowed consistently, showcasing his signature low-end, brooding, and innovative approach to jungle and drum & bass. A standout moment was the release of his mini-album ‘Dream Metal,’ which encapsulated his unique style. However, the real highlight came towards the year’s end with the launch of his new label, ‘[Best Intentions](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/11/13/kasra-builds-on-critical-musics-legacy-with-new-label-best-intentions).’ [Kasra - Rizumu](https://www.youtube.com/embed/bZ1fxxxpCe8?feature=oembed) True to its name, the label not only embraces the diverse styles Kasra explores but also serves a greater purpose: donating a portion of profits from each release to a charity chosen by the releasing artist. Kasra wrapped up the year with two tracks that delved into darker, more experimental sonic realms, setting the stage for an exciting 2025 from him, Critical Music, and Best Intentions. **FREDDY B** Some artists have breakout years, and then there’s the year Freddy B has had—one that has positioned him for an exceptional 2025. His powerful, commanding vocal style has now made its way onto some of the most respected drum & bass imprints. 2024 saw the Manchester-based MC and producer release his music on Overview Music, Transparent Audio, Critical Music, and Delta9 Recordings, among others. It’s tempting to call this just the beginning, but at the pace Freddy B is setting, it won’t be long before he cements himself as one of the most distinctive and respected voices in drum and bass. [Lokal & Freddy B - Fine Lines](https://www.youtube.com/embed/rQwF6WxGgoE?feature=oembed) **LOKAL** The Manchester-based trio Lokal has become a powerhouse of creativity, seamlessly blending influences from across the bass music spectrum. Since their breakthrough in 2023, they’ve explored drum & bass, dubstep, UKG, and jungle, delivering a dynamic range of tracks. Their partnership with Incurzion Audio has been transformative, with the label releasing the EP that established them as prodigies in the bass music scene. This year’s ‘Illicit Trade’ EP has only solidified their reputation, offering a bold fusion of deep dubstep, funky garage, and trap. It’s a standout release that has us eagerly awaiting Lokal’s next moves in the new year.

His ability to blend UK garage, melodic house, and IDM into deeply moving yet danceable tracks has made his work one of the year’s standout contributions to the electronic scene. Consistently delivering tracks that are as funky and vibrant as they are introspective and heartfelt, ATRIP’s music this year has been a testament to his innovative approach to fusing groove-driven beats with emotional depth.
