12th Planet
is the electronic music pioneer whose off-axis beats and subsonic frequencies
orbit on the forefront of global bass culture. Recently named “Los Angeles
dubstep god” by Rolling Stone, 12th Planet AKA John Dadzie and his influential
label SMOG Records are widely credited for bringing the British movement
stateside, and continue to be a crucial force in the evolution of electronic
music. 12th Planet’s DJ sets now include a myriad of styles that reflect the
current, diverse landscape of EDM music and continue to display his role as an
essential tastemaker in the dance music world.
Since 2006,
12th Planet has also led what’s become one of the most thriving underground
movements in electronic music, with MTV calling the crew a “pioneering
incubator of bass music in America.” The SMOG crew, with 12th Planet at the
helm, continues to produce top quality events in Los Angeles and beyond, always
pushing forward as an internationally recognized leader in U.S. bass music.
However, John Dadzie’s role has extended beyond just bass music to encompass
the whole of EDM, including what he recently described to OC Weekly as
“transition music,” — a sound that incorporates diverse styles and BPMs. His DJ
set is no longer classifiable by genre but best dubbed “a trip to the 12th
Planet and back.”
