A fresh batch of talent is here, but this time, we sit down with artists outside of the dubstep scene.
The Filthy Beat Inspectors' signature tagline, We are always listening, has been the basis for discovering the hardest and grimiest beats through the bass music scene.
In Season 1, we put out warrants for Codd Dubz, MIRR.IMG, Jeanie, M?stic and FOCUSS. In Season 2, we explored up-and-coming female artists such as Zingara, Sharlitz Web and Sippy.
Now, we will continue finding those who have committed heinous crimes of filthy beats -- But this time, Season 3 will showcase uprising talent outside of the bass music scene.
This is Dubstep FBI's "Most Wanted List" of those who we see huge potential in the coming years with their music and presence in bass music.
Season 3 Subject No. 4: ALLEYCVT
EDM Sub-genre: Bass music, pop, dubstep
Location: Los Angeles
Featured Track: Throw It Down
Artist Confession:
Where the track came from:
"I wanted to make a 'feel-good" song with fun lyrics! Whenever I see a DJ play a really good set I always say “omg _____ threw it DOWN!'. I pulled some inspiration from Subtronics and the wobble masters themselves, Ganja White Night. I just wanted to embody the feeling of being at a show and getting wonky with all your friends."
On what her inspiration is:
"I’ve always made music ever since I was a kid, and I love all genres of music. I’d say the biggest thing that inspires me to sit down and make a song is, just going out and experiencing life - it gives me material to write about! Along with that, finding new music and artists that I’m excited about helps me get inspired as well. I love when I find an artist with really dope sound design techniques and I’m like 'woah how did they make that?'"
A message to all of you:
"Ahhh. I love my supporters with my whole heart. Every single comment or DM makes me feel like I finally belong. I’ve always written & produced music, but for so long I didn’t identify with any certain genre of music until I started making electronic music & sharing it with the world. You all encourage me, and have helped me understand what my purpose is here- and it feels so fulfilling. All the thins' you guys say make me feel like I really can achieve my wildest dreams and we’re only just getting started. I’ve made 50 custom ALLEYCVT kandi bracelets for my latest release (THROW IT DOWN) and mailed them out all over the world. It’s really the least I can do since y’all have supported me so much from the beginning. I just really love you guys a lot. "

Season 3 Subject No. 3: BLUPILL
From Perry-Wayne to Jessica Audiffred, BLUPILL has been featured in so many insane tracks! When you hear his voice, you know exactly who it is. BLUPILL is making waves in the scene and that's why he's Most Wanted.
EDM Sub-genre: Drill, Tearout, and Dubstep
Location: Broward County, FL
Featured Track: Benda - Break Shit (feat. BLUPILL)
Artist Confession:
Where the track came from:
"When Benda sent me this tune and I found out we were both from Broward, I knew it had to be ignorant. This song is representative of the Broward lifestyle — partying, fast cars, and rowdiness. In our eyes, this was the perfect way to combine my OG rap style with his heavy dubstep, and we did just that. "
On what his inspiration is:
"Music is my freedom — my freedom from anger, my freedom from anxiety, my freedom from depression, and my freedom from society. When I get on the microphone and scream, I'm able to release all my bottled emotions that I may not be able to put into words otherwise. Also, my fans. Hearing that my music has helped people through extremely hard times is all I could ever ask for. I make this music to heal myself and others that may be going through the same or similar struggles as I do."
A message to all of you:
"I love you. Thank you for pushing me day in and day out to not only be a better musician but a better person. I wouldn’t be where I am today without your support. So again, thank you."

Season 3 Subject No. 2: LUPA
LUPA has blessed the world with her unique techno tracks. She's made major waves in the short time she has spent in the scene and is now under our microscope to find out where she'll hit next!
EDM Sub-genre: Techno
Full Name: Liz Small
Location: Los Angeles, California
Featured Track: Wasting Time [Mau5trap, Salivation]
Artist Confession:
“I take a lot of inspiration from video games and tv shows. This song in particular, was actually inspired from the animated racing 90’s show Initial D. I had only ever played the arcade and Playstation games, so watching the show for the first time really fueled my creativity. I wanted to create a song that felt like racing through urban landscapes and thus Wasting Time was born."
On what her inspiration is:
"I take inspiration from many different sources, from the media I consume (books, film, video games, other music etc.) to real life experiences (travel, friends and family, live music, etc.). Though at the root of it all, is the innate desire to express myself through the act of artistic creation itself. Like most artists, I am sensitive and so the desire to share my thoughts and emotions is rather prevalent in my day-to-day, life. However, words often can’t explain some of these more complex feelings and so that is where I find my inspiration to create music."

Season 3 Subject No. 1: Hartshorn
As the first of our non-dubstep Most Wanted artists, Hartshorn brings a diverse happy hardcore sound to America.
He's recently performed at Basscon's wasteLAND in SoCal, Metrocon in Tampa and several other shows around the nation. With label releases on Electric Fox, Voodoo Panda, Teamwrk and other international imprints, Hartshorn's rise is one we will closely be watching.
EDM Sub-genre: Happy Hardcore
Full Name: Weston Hartshorn
Location: Denver, Colorado
Featured Track: Told You So [Electric Fox]
Artist Confession:
“The biggest drive for this style of track is the highly emotional vocals," Hartshorn said. "Something about happy hardcore that has always stuck with me for years is the constant emotional, sometimes even sad, vocals combined with an uplifting melody and that continues in my work."
On performing live at shows:
"The excitement of being on stage is hard to totally explain in words, but with each performance, helping those in the crowd escape their daily problems even for a bit of time with music is a warmth that drives every day."
"For the fans, the support you give has every bit that helped create where Hartshorn is today. I thank you, and we can only make it stronger."
