Heard It Here First

We’ve all been eagerly awaiting the lineup for the 11th annual Suwannee Hulaween and our wishes have been granted, as the music and arts festival debuted what fans are calling one of Hulaween’s best lineups in years! Packed with veterans, returners, and newcomers to the festival, Hulaween 2024 is offering an enticing array of electronic, jam, indie, bluegrass, hip-hop, and more through their diverse arsenal of artists. The headliners atop this list include The String Cheese Incident (plus performances with the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir deemed “The Bobby Weir Incident“), Sublime, Tipper, Black Pumas, CloZee, Umphrey’s McGee, Greensky Bluegrass, Chris Lake, Tash Sultana, Liquid Stranger, Killer Mike, Chase & Status, Of The Trees, and Nora en Pure.

Heard It Here First has had the immense privilege of providing on-site media coverage for both Hulaween 2022 and 2023, including last year’s “Road To Hulaween” guest mixes and interviews with VEIL and Khiva. As we begin to unpack what Hulaween 2024 has to offer, it is our priority to break down some of the top electronic acts in this year’s lineup. To our pleasure, a saturated mixture of experimental bass, dubstep, drum & bass, house, techno, and more electronic sub-genres will enchant the Spirit of Suwannee, including a new 360-stage titled, “OFF LIMITS” curated by the renowned underground enthusiasts at DEF Global.

Check out some of our must-see electronic acts for Suwannee Hulaween 2024 below:

Tipper

Just as we thought we had seen the last of Dave Tipper, the glitch hop and bass music phenomenon makes his return to Suwannee Hulaween for the festival’s 11th year. After announcing his impending retirement, fans speculated that Rendezvous would be the last time to get Tipped at Suwannee. With various sources hinting that Tipper has chosen to perform at The Hallows stage, we are expecting nothing less than a full-throttle performance complete with top-of-the-line sound production and out-of-this-world visuals. Be sure to pull up to Tipper’s set this Hulaween and catch him scratching over both classic Tipper tracks as well as his treasure trove of unreleased heat!

CloZee

Returning to her rightful position in the forest, the nature bass queen CloZee is set to bless Hulaween 2024 with her presence. In 2022, CloZee packed out The Amphitheater stage and threw down a colorful performance complete with her mystifying and dazzling laser show. After coming off of her wildly successful Microworlds Tour this year, we are positive that this is not a set you want to miss at Hula! With a supply of unreleased tunes from her collaborative LSZEE project alongside LSDREAM that’s set to release right before the festival, fans can expect a CloZee set like we’ve never seen before.

Liquid Stranger

Label head of WAKAAN and Hulaween veteran, Liquid Stranger makes his triumphant return to the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park for another year packed with heavyweight freeform bass that is guaranteed to melt your face. The psychedelic production powerhouse has been on his grind, pumping out recent releases like “In My Mind” and “Restless” with NGHTMRE and Mougleta. He had previously packed out the Spirit Lake Stage as the leading force of the 2022 WAKAAN takeover, but we are certain that Liquid Stranger has plans to up-the-ante even more this year with both his and WAKAAN’s ever-growing catalog of distorted bangers.

Chase & Status

With over two decades of high-tier production under their belt, Chase & Status, the fathers of the viral DnB sensation, “Baddadan”, lend their infectious dance tunes to Suwannee for the first time. The London-native dynamic duo, Saul Milton and Will Kennard, best known for chart-topping hits like “Liquor & Cigarettes” and “Selecta”, have been lighting up the dance music scene since their initial arrival in 2003. Chase & Status have earned their flowers through their irresistible hits, heart-pounding performances, and masterful production for some of the biggest names in the music world. Now, prepare for these two legends to bring their percussive heavy sound to the woods of Hulaween! They are absolutely legends in this dance music space so go show them the respect they deserve.

Of The Trees

It has been two years since Of The Trees graced The Amphitheater stage with his signature bass-fueled, sensory audio-visual stylings. At long last, the self-proclaimed “tree boi” returns to the Suwannee for another year! With every performance, this production maestro proves time and time again what makes him one of the most remarkable artists of his time, continuously fusing the harmonic realms of trap, downtempo, and experimental bass into each of his captivating sets. His discography is filled to the brim with ground-breaking hits prepped with the firepower needed to bring the Spirit of Suwannee to life, so make this set your priority and thank us later!

G Jones

Greg Jones, the mastermind behind the G Jones moniker, has been a figurehead in the rise of experimental bass music since his entrance into the scene. The California-native continues to prove that not even the sky is the limit when it comes to his career’s meteoric rise. Once described by Rolling Stone as a “studio wizard”, G Jones continuously proves that there is no experimental boundary he is afraid to cross. With years under his belt as a glitch-hop pioneer and an imaginatively complex discography to back (which includes an unreleased collab with Skrillex), there is no better festival to house his unique and raw performance style than Hulaween. Everybody is going to want to pull up to the G Jones set and get down to hits from his renowned albums, Paths and The Ineffable Truth.

Zingara

Coming off hot from her headline tour of her debut album, The Code of Dreamz, Zingara is gearing up to unlock the door to the dream realm for festival goers at her Hulaween 2024 set. Utilizing mystifying wobble bass, vibrational sub-shaking melodies, and harmonic vocalizations, there is no better place to bring her dream journal to life than the Spirit of Suwannee. Zingara crushed her enchanting 2022 performance at the Spirit Lake stage and fans have been praying that they would see her name on this year’s lineup. We cannot wait to catch new tracks like “Unlock Your Keys” and “Up is Down” live, and are hoping that she brings out ALLEYCVT for their iconic collaboration, “REMEMBER ME”. This set is sure to catch the attention of the woodland trolls, so be prepared to experience all things weird and wonderful at Zingara’s Hulaween set!

Daily Bread

We’re still a few months away from Hulaween, but it is never a bad time to start prepping your camping list and it looks like this year’s lineup will require a very specific camping essential: bread. Daily Bread is no stranger to the Suwannee, with past performances at 2021’s Hulaween and 2022’s Resonate decimating the festival grounds in the best way imaginable. Daily Bread is well acquainted with lulling Suwannee’s masses with his fusion of electro-soul, hip-hop, and bass music. This past week brought us Daily Bread’s newest mixtape, Flash Flood II, a sonic storm encompassing the perfect mixture of Daily Bread’s iconic soundscapes. With tracks like “Million Dollar Baby (Daily Bread Remix)” and “The Rain Song” finally released to the masses, Hulaween attendees are in store for a whole new sonic adventure from DB come this fall.

A Hundred Drums

When considering artists that thrive within the magical forest of the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park, A Hundred Drums is without a doubt on the top of that list. At Hulaween 2022, A Hundred Drums made her mark at both The Amphitheater and Incendia stages, spinning her catalog of hypnotic, drum-powered dubstep for festival goers. The multifaceted producer’s most recent remix of Jon Casey‘s “B.T.T.” perfectly exemplifies this sonic finesse and already has us on edge for October. The energy at an A Hundred Drums set is unmatched and must be experienced first hand, so be sure to catch both her main set and renegades — you won’t regret it!

Truth

The power production duo, Truth, has held a firm grasp on the minds and ears of the electronic music world since 2007 for good reason and Suwannee is about to find out why! The pair of New Zealand producers have spent years honing their craft, propelling their use of hefty subs and destructive bass lines far beyond their hometown. Since their inception, the duo began their own label, Deep Dark & Dangerous, which has bolstered artists such as Khiva, Distinct Motive, and over fifty other creatives to new heights within the ever evolving world of bass music. Today, Deep Dark & Dangerous has become one of the most influential labels in the scene. Their tried and true to its roots style of dubstep and bass music is certain to keep the crowd rocking and shake the Suwannee trees down to their roots. You can prepare for their Hulaween set with their most recent summer EP, Summer Daze!
