Bass Architect HVRCRFT Set To Ignite Trees Alongside DirtySnatcha This Friday

This Friday, November 28th, the walls of Trees in Dallas will shake under the weight of a rising force in bass music. HVRCRFT, the Bay Area producer with a rapidly growing reputation for high-voltage sound design, will deliver direct support for DirtySnatcha in one of his most defining career moments yet. From crate-digging in San Francisco to landing Top 10 charting releases, he now steps into the spotlight with the same ground-moving energy that first electrified his vision years ago. For Dallas, this is a front-row seat to the future of bass. 

HVRCRFT’s sound traces back to San Francisco’s vibrant underground. As a 14-year-old kid armed with turntables and curiosity, he spent endless hours flipping through vinyl bins and teaching himself how to mix and perform. Those early discoveries cultivated his hunger for innovation - a foundation that would later erupt into the distinct, boundary-pushing style he’s now known for.

“Shoutout to the Bay Area - that’s where I first experienced real musical diversity,” HVRCRFT explains. “I spent so much time digging through records from every genre, and that wide range of sounds definitely shaped how I produce music today.”

Everything changed in 2017. Attending Lost Lands for the first time, surrounded by booming sub-bass and a tightly bonded community, crystallized his purpose. What began as an exploration suddenly became a mission: to create sound that hits as hard as the artists who inspired him: Excision, Subtronics, and DirtySnatcha. 

“Going to Lost Lands showed me the true culture and community of dubstep - something I had never experienced before attending in 2017,” he said. “That moment made it clear: these were the people I wanted to create music for, and the community I wanted to belong to.”

Back home, HVRCRFT dives into a relentless creative grind built on curiosity and risk-taking. His studio approach centers on texture, movement, and calculated chaos, aiming for drops that surprise and shake the room. That mindset now drives a production identity that keeps listeners leaning forward, waiting for the next unexpected hit. 

“When I’m working on a drop, I’ll load a reference track I admire and study how they crafted it,” he explains. “I then try creating something with a similar texture or style in my own way. If that doesn’t click, I’ll run through presets, find something that sparks an idea, and start tweaking until it works for the track. For me, pushing boundaries is really just embracing trial and error - trying things, falling, trying again, and trusting the process all the way.”

His determination soon took him to Los Angeles, where he sharpened his skills inside electronic music’s core industry network, connecting with collaborators, refining his sound, and learning the business from the inside out. Releases with Thrive Music, Circus Records, and others followed - and his artistic trajectory accelerated. 

“My time in LA really opened my eyes to how the music industry operates behind the scenes - everything from payroll to how A&Rs, managers, and artists handle themselves professionally,” he notes. “Being around that environment, and shoutout to Thrive, who showed me just how crucial it is to understand the business side of music.” 

Then came the moment that brought everything full-circle. HVRCRFT teamed up with DirtySnatcha, one of his day-one inspirations, for the track, “Sum Dirty”, released through Excision’s powerhouse label Subsidia. The result? A surge of credibility and momentum, including a Top 10 milestone on the Hypeddit Bass Music charts. 

“Having DirtySnatcha on board with ‘Sum Dirty’ gave me a real boost of confidence,” he says. “It helped me refocus on my goals: building a fan base, touring, and sharing my music with as many people as possible.”

This Friday at Trees marks another milestone: performing as direct support for DirtySnatcha on a stage packed with Texas fans ready for a seismic ride. He’s bringing new IDs, bold sound design, and the immersive energy that has become his signature. 

“I’m excited to really showcase the HVRCRFT sound,” he says. “This show will help shape future performances, hopefully alongside DirtySnatcha, and open the door to even more unforgettable experiences with what I’m creating.” 

Fans who step into Trees on Friday will witness the spark of a breakout era. Don’t miss your chance to feel the future shaking the dancefloor beneath you with artists Buckten, AKRONYM, Benelioan, and Mr. OneVibe.
