Subtronics — December 2026

Jesse Kardon — performing as Subtronics — was born on September 10, 1991, and grew up in the Philadelphia area, where an early drumming background and an introduction to dubstep at age 16 during a recording studio internship in Ardmore, Pennsylvania set the foundation for one of bass music's most technically distinctive production careers. The genre's combination of intricate sound design, heavy sub-bass engineering, and structural extremity matched instincts he had been developing since he first played drums, and he spent the following years refining the synthesis skills that would make his productions identifiable regardless of collaboration context. His self-founded Cyclops Recordings label became the home for his catalog and a curatorial statement about where heavy bass music production standards could reach when approached with engineering depth over genre formula. His collaboration GRIZTRONICS with GRiZ — fusing his dubstep framework with brass-driven funk — became one of the most widely circulated bass music collaborations of its year and introduced him to audiences across multiple genre communities simultaneously. His 2024 full-length album TESSERACT, released February 16 via Cyclops Recordings, is a 16-track project conceptually structured around the four-dimensional geometric object of the same name, with each track designed to operate simultaneously across sub-bass, atmospheric synth, glitchy percussion, and mid-frequency melodic registers. The album includes collaborations with Excision, Rezz, Grabbitz, and HOL!, assembling a roster from bass music's most credentialed producers and demonstrating his standing at the genre's headliner tier. His festival profile includes a main stage debut at EDC Las Vegas, where his full production apparatus operates at the scale the live show was built to inhabit. For 2026, Wynn Nightlife booked Subtronics for a summer residency at Encore Beach Club and EBC at Night — bringing heavy dubstep to one of Las Vegas's premier outdoor venues with a sound system capable of handling the sub-bass frequencies his productions require. Confirmed dates span the full summer season: May 16, May 24, June 21, July 4, July 26, August 14, and August 30. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers complimentary entry for qualifying groups.
