Preston Charles, aka SubDocta, exploded onto the scene in 2017 with his wildly successful single “2009 Was Tight”, catching support from some of the biggest names in dance music. SubDocta is known for producing his own brand of dubstep and bass music that he has dubbed “West Coast Wobble”, paying tribute to his upbringing on the west coast of the US.
Since 2018, SubDocta has been seen on a number of high profile tours, playing countless sold out shows with Ganja White Night, Excision, Riot Ten, Dirt Monkey, and Boogie T, amongst others. He also headlined 3 of his own tours since 2022 with support acts like Zingara, Black Carl, and sfam while having performed at multiple festivals including Lost Lands, Bass Canyon, Wakaan Fest, Dancefestopia, Freaky Deaky and more. Frequently supported by his peers, SubDocta has released many EPs and singles over the years and a full length album with prominent labels Subcarbon Records, Wakaan Records, Bassrush, Deadbeats, Drama Club and more.
Floret Loret
Undulating waves of crystalline fragrance burst from Floret Loret’s sonic greenhouse. The multi-sensory experience of Fernando Loret de Mola’s catalog is a tribute to his careful cultivation of a sound that bathes in natural beauty but also pulls from a dark, industrial cityscape.
Cross-pollinating sound design die-hards and melodic bass acolytes seeded a rabid fan base that brought his music to the attention of Deadbeats, which released his 2019 EP, Secluded Garden. Label heads Zeds Dead then tapped Floret Loret for the collab “Reason” from their We Are Deadbeats Vol. 4 compilation, an elegant arrangement of glistening themes that dance and twirl between shimmering rays of light and ponderous darkness.
It’s been a prolific run for Loret de Mola, who has released singles on Quality Goods Records and Electric Hawk, EPs on mau5trap and Bassrush, collaborated with progressive contemporaries Siska, Silva, Low Poly, and CAPSHUN (the latter of which was handpicked by CloZee for her Gravitas comp), and landed coveted festival slots at Okeechobee and EDC. Sprouting from a bleak live show landscape, Loret de Mola landed high-profile dates with Minnesota, Chee, and a featured role at Infrasound Music Festival and Shambhala.
Tastemakers forging the next frontier in the left-field electronic space are flocking to Floret Loret’s field to bask in his creations.
