6 Must-See Bass Acts At Elements Music & Arts Festival 2025

Elements Music & Arts Festival is coming up quickly, opening its gates in a little over a month, in its go-to location of Long Pond, Pennsylvania. The four stages, water, earth, fire, and air, not only represent the different natural elements but also the different sides of the electronic music spectrum. As always from Elements, this year’s lineup is packed to the brim with electronic music talent, with headliners like Deadmau5, Mau P, Sara Landry, Zeds Dead, Illenium, REZZ, Sofi Tukker, DJ Diesel, and tons more.

The team at Elements just unveiled the daily lineups by stage and stated that this is going to be the closest they get to giving fans set times until much closer to the festival. There are some real tasty-looking Secret Sets on there! Let us know who you think the surprise performers will be down in the comments.

At HIHF, we focus on all things bass music, so we wanted to break down our top six must-see acts of Elements Music Festival this coming August. We hope to see you there!

Levity b2b Tape B

Thursday night b2b at the Fire Stage

Friday night solo sets at the Fire Stage

Two of the hottest rising stars we’ve worked with at HIHF have become top-billed dubstep artists after years of hard work. Both Levity and Tape B have a chokehold on the SoundCloud edit game, with Tape B transforming nostalgic hip-hop anthems and Levity putting their spin on radio throwbacks. But don’t undervalue their production prowess because of that for a second. Both artists have massive artilleries of original music, spanning labels like Subtronics’ Cyclops Recordings, Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats, and Ultra Music. 2025 is the year of Tape B and Levity.

This is their debut b2b set, so if you are hitting the festival early and will be there Thursday night, absolutely do not miss it. If you can’t get in until Friday morning, don’t sweat it. You’ll have a chance to see each of their solo sets on the Fire Stage Friday night.

Chase & Status

Friday night set at the Earth Stage

Truly one of the most important names in Drum and Bass music, Chase & Status’ impact cannot be understated. These two champions of industry have been producing and performing for over twenty years. Over that time, they’ve released seven studio albums, working with huge names like Rihanna, Cee Lo Green, Stormzy, Example, and Tinie Tempah. Recent anthems like “Liquor & Cigarettes” and “Baddadan” have exploded and you’ll rarely see a DnB set without hearing a Chase & Status track or three being thrown in the mix.

On top of the overall excitement for Chase & Status, the legends will be performing a sunset set slot on the Earth Stage and their sounds coupled with the beauty of the sun coming down makes this a MUST NOT MISS set of Elements 2025.

Eater

Friday afternoon set at the Water Stage

If you are a fan of heavy-hitting hybrid trap, Eater is a must-see at Elements 2025. This rising star producer effortlessly fuses hip-hop-influenced trap sounds with diabolical, deadly bass. He’s scored tons of festival bookings, like Bonnaroo and Electric Forest, and has released on top-tier labels like Monstercat, Wakaan, Subcarbon, and Deadbeats.

After collabs the past year with names like Ookay, Bailo, FloZone, Blurrd Vzn, and Gunpoint, as well as official remixes for Feed Me and L*o*J, Eater has got a massive artillery of festival weaponry to drop on the crowd of headbangers.

Soukii b2b Neumonic

Sunday afternoon set at the Water Stage

Two ones to watch in the ever-growing deep dubstep world are Soukii and Neumonic. They’re bringing their low-end stylings together for a vicious b2b that no head at Elements will want to miss out on. Celebrating dubstep’s roots and the iconic sounds of the 2000s, whether that be in the UK or in Baltimore or Detroit, Soukii and Neumonic pay homage to sound system culture from all over the world.

Between the two of them, they’ve played at the most premier bass music festivals across the United States, including but certainly not limited to The Untz, Okeechobee, Submersion, Infrasound, and Lightning In A Bottle. They’ve even uploaded one of their past b2bs to Soundcloud, so check that out to prepare for the madness that’s going to go down in their Elements performance.

Pretty Lights

Two sets, Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, at the Earth Stage

Pretty Lights’ return over the past few years has been one for ages, and we are getting graced with two massive performances by the electronic music icon and his legendary live band, featuring Chris Karns, Alvin Ford Jr., Borahm Lee, and Michal Menert.

His curated event, Yahn Dawn, in Beaver Creek, Colorado, celebrated its inaugural year just last weekend, and it looked absolutely magical. With only select performances of his intergalactic jamtronica left throughout the summer, Sunday is going to bring Pretty Lights fever across the festival, and we can’t wait to get down with our Pretty Lights family!

The band will be bringing a new live show to the stage, named Horizon Sprinter & The Intergalactic Fleet.

Tipper

Sunday night set at the Fire Stage

Tipper is one of the most talented and iconic artists in electronic music, with a monstrous catalogue of released and unreleased music ranging from absolute bangers to downtempo delights. His live shows are truly otherworldly, and we were absolutely HYPED to see him on the Elements 2025 lineup when it first dropped earlier this year.

After a tenured career spanning over thirty years, pushing forward-thinking production design and influencing thousands of bedroom producers, Tipper is officially closing the chapter on touring his musical project. His remaining performances are numbered, and we feel even more blessed to catch him this year in Long Pond.

This is one set we know is going to be very crowded. So, get there early! Tipper sets are rare in general, and with this being his last year performing, you know it’s going to be a top set of the festival.
