This is our 4th installment of our showcase celebrating #santacruz #music this one been in the works for some time big ups @labratofficial 
LabRat is not just a music producer, he is a sonic architect pushing the boundaries of sound and creativity. With an insatiable curiosity for the uncharted realms of music, LabRat concocts intricate auditory experiments that connect with listeners on an emotional and physical level.

Hailing from the vibrant and eclectic underground music scene of Santa Cruz, LabRat’s journey began at a young age with his involvement in melodic death metal and jazz bands. He was initially exposed to dubstep while attending his first music festival in 2008, captivated by the electronic sounds a new passion was ignited within. His early days were spent honing his craft in dimly lit studios and experimenting with an array of musical genres, from ambient electronica to pulsating dubstep, and everything in between.

Over the years LabRat has cultivated a signature sound - a captivating blend of heavy bass, lush melodies, and meticulously crafted textures woven together with the intention to move people. His productions and live performances possess an uncanny ability to engage audiences at home or on the dancefloor.

LabRat’s multi-faceted productions weave a narrative that resonate with the human experience. The results of ongoing musical experiments have had overwhelmingly positive results for all participants. See y’all in the Lab!
