Grammy-nominated American electronic DJ duo SLANDER teams up with music festival kingpins Insomniac to bring to life Starbase—a festival experience unlike any other.
Derek Anderson and Scott Land of SLANDER twine their signature melodic and bass rumblings with Insomniac’s elite production for an explosive two-day music festival at Lake Perris in Southern California. Penciled for April 25 and 26, 2025, this showcase will spew out oodles of dubstep, trap, and bass melodic bass, techno, underground techno, and more across three stages, with music scheduled to go on until sunrise.
Furthermore, the website brags about “no set time conflicts,” a unique and precious accessory to a music festival for attendees, in which SLANDER is set to feature five times as SLANDER, SLANDER B2B NGHTMRE, SLANDER B2B Dimension, and dawn-breaking sets on the beach as their techno moniker Before Dawn.
The full line-up consists of 39 artists, including the likes of A Hundred Drums (Gabrielle Watson), duo Body Ocean, FrostTop, Kill the Noise, Vastive, UK-based producer Mha Iri, Pauline Herr, SVDDEN DEATH, trio Wavedash, Skybreak, Space Laces, Nejvex, COPYCATT, and William Black, to name a few.
The campsite opens on April 24 and this pristine location offers multiple camping options (car, RV, tent, etc.) The festivities cranks loose with an exclusive Thursday night pre-party on-site for campers only, and then runs from 11 AM until sunrise during the following days.
The origins of Starbase date back to 2021, when the pair announced it was to be held on October 8 and 9, 2021, in Charleston, South Carolina. However, the event was subsequently canceled due to the pandemic.
Talking about Starbase, the duo conveyed via social media, “We can’t wait for you to witness the beauty of Lake Perris with us for a camping festival experience that will be truly out of this world! Camping will be the main focal point of this festival with the scenic beauty of the lake as the centerpiece. You will have the opportunity to tent camp with pristine views lakeside. You will also be able to swim and enjoy water activities in the lake during the day! Additionally, we will have car camping and full RV hookups available.”
Reactions to the online line-up reveal sprung up from FrostTop, who expressed being “hyped.” Producer Vastive claimed to be “stoked to be coming back,” and Body Ocean stated that they were “very excited to make our debut US festival performance at Starbase Festival.”
“Grateful to announce I will be performing at SLANDER’s debut Starbase festival this April in Southern California. The SLANDER boys have been endlessly supportive of my project and gave my few first shows ever at the Tacoma Dome and EDC Las Vegas in 2021 (pictured!) Can’t wait to throw down in their honor on this extremely stacked lineup and debut some music from my next big project,” communicated melodic bass artist Skybreak via social media.
Meanwhile, the Czech Republic’s electronic and dubstep DJ/producer Nejvex chimed in, remarking, “SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I’LL BE PERFORMING AT SLANDER’S FIRST EVER STARBASE FESTIVAL! Ever since the scholarship, it feels like my whole life changed in the greatest way possible. attending ICON and getting to live in Los Angeles has been a phenomenal experience so far.I can’t help but feel extremely grateful. thank you, Derek & Scott.”
