Lauren Valentine starts her journey to Basscon Wasteland

Lauren Valentine opens the Road to Basscon Wasteland with a fiery guest mix that gives fans a taste of her hardcore style.


Lauren Valentine is a New York-based producer and DJ with deep roots in the storied history of NYC’s hard dance scene. In her early days as a fan, she was constantly searching for the sounds of East Coast legends like Rob GEE, DJ Venom, Jen Mas, How hardAnd Johannes BasOver the years, she became entrenched in the scene, finding a home at illegal warehouse raves and parties under bridges and city landmarks.

Following the sounds and lights to find those elusive experiences was only half the fun. Once there, Lauren Valentine experienced the rave scene in its purest form, as attendees were there to make friends, trade kandi, listen to weird music, and most importantly, dance wildly. As she began to gain a foothold in the scene, she became part of the live experience as a go-go dancer, hooper, and fire artist. However, she quickly discovered that she wanted to be the one behind the decks, leading this unique movement. Thus, the Lauren Valentine Project was born.

For her, discovering hard music is a way to combine her lifelong love of music with sharing that vibe on the dance floor. Combining her musical influences like rock and roll with drumming and singing, Lauren Valentine has carved out a place for herself in New York's hard dance scene. In addition, she has had the privilege of learning from some of New York's greats, such as Mrotick, Sythys, KOREand many others.

Although she is a fixture in the New York hard dance scene, she is no newcomer to the event circuit in the USA either, as she has already performed her project in states such as Rhode Island, California and most recently Massachusetts for The Homie Collective Campout! After another year full of milestones, Lauren Valentine finally returns to California for her debut at Basscon Wastelandwhere she promises to bring the East Coast's Wicked Witch attitude to the West.

Attendees of Lauren Valentine's performance will be treated to a mix of rawstyle, uptempo hardcore and a dose of homemade beats from the best producers in the USA. The dance floor has always been a sanctuary for Lauren and she wants to bring that feeling to San Bernardino to create a safe place to unleash the darkness and let out your energy. She also has a few surprises in store and encourages fans to bring their best energy to the dance floor and get ready to dance their hearts out.

To kick off the Road to Basscon Wasteland, Lauren Valentine dropped by to deliver a high-energy guest mix that gives listeners an idea of ​​what to expect from her debut at the legendary festival this year. Filled to the brim with hits from local producers such as Mrotek, TreasonSythys, Distrixand more, this mix is ​​the perfect warm-up for the madness that follows at another great edition of Basscon Wasteland.

New York is a city that embraces diversity and I love the diversity of American hard dance. We have so many talented producers creating different types of hard music and it's amazing to see all of these sounds have their own place to shine. It's nice to see how much bonding and camaraderie is being brought together across the country through hard music. I hope the US continues to develop into a thriving community. This vibe will help spread the sound and bring about more local hard music events to give more people the opportunity to experience it and love it as much as we do.
