Relentless Beats has many promising events coming to downtown Phoenix for fans of all EDM genres in the coming months. Festivals like Body Language, Obsidian and Better Together are set to hit downtown Phoenix throughout the fall, bringing big names in house and techno. 

Beyond the festival scene, RB has unveiled numerous heavy-hitters as part of its Phoenix Warehouse Project. Drum’n’bass duo Chase & Status and veteran electronic artist Deorro performed sold-out shows this summer, and progressive house group Above & Beyond to hit the venue in September. 

This weekend, Relentless Beats and PWP has focused on bringing back their coveted 360º sets–an immersive viewing experience for fans– for a stacked weekend of multiple genres.  Malaa will be presenting his Alter Ego for a d’n’b-filled dance party show (MALAA VS ALTER EGO) on Friday, Oct. 10, while Kayzo will be returning to the desert on Oct. 11, bringing an energetic crossover of hard dance and head-banging bass. 

FRIDAY, OCT. 10 –  MALAA VS ALTER EGO

The first part of the stacked clockwise-360-stage series begins with French bass house DJ Malaa, presenting Malaa vs. Alter Ego to Phoenix and promising a night filled with high energy drum’n’bass. 

Hot off of his latest albums under his pseudonym, “All In” and “Blackout”, Malaa is sure to blend some of his latest tracks with other classics to Warehouse 215. 

Supporting acts for this show were announced on Instagram Wednesday, featuring local acts Thiccums, Qüez and Peachy Keen, as well as rising stars Blossom, Dark Heart, Deep Cherry and hotsauce.

SATURDAY, OCT. 11 – KAYZO 

LA-born DJ Kayzo, known for his avant-garde mix of heavy bass and gritty industrial techno, will be making his long-awaited return to the desert since his band appearance as Kayzo: Unleashed at Goldrush: Sonoran Skies in 2023. 

Kayzo’s full lineup for Saturday night features two back-to-back sets, as well as nine other artists across two stages.

Hairitage and Jiqui will be performing alongside Crayzo (a b2b collaboration between the headliner and his finance, singer CRAY) at the Hybrid 360º Stage. All three artists were featured on Kayzo’s 2023 “New Breed” remix album. Special guest Kill Safari (Kill The Noise b2b Bro Safari) will also be performing at this stage.

Not only does this night bring out a full night of dubstep, techno producers ANOLUXX, CLAWZ, TRIPTYKH, and Water Spirit will all be performing at the Harder Stage that night.
