12th Planet
Genre: Dubstep
Origin: United States
With early co-signs from Skream and Rusko, a feature on Diplo’s ‘Blow Your Head’ compilation, and the launch of a bubbling new SMOG event series in LA, John Dadzie, professionally known as 12th Planet, quickly became known as one of the first ambassadors of dubstep in the US.
As the sound began to spread, he helped navigate its uncharted territories with tracks like the breakout “68” single, released on his newly launched SMOG label, and collaborations alongside Skrillex and Kill the Noise (“Burst”, followed by the Grammy winning “Right on Time”).
In the following years, 12th Planet became a household name within the global dance music circuit with official releases on Interscope, Mad Decent, Monstercat, and OWSLA, as well as support on Skrillex’s Mothership Tours, and stops at major festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC, HARD, and Ultra.
Now, following the 10 Year Anniversary of SMOG, a stretch of his own headlining dates, and an extensive catalog of work featuring studio time with Korn, Datsik, Zomboy, Skrillex, and more, 12th Planet preps a new arsenal of sounds set to ignite stages and headphones worldwide in the near future.
