About KANAKA
An emerging artist from Hawaii and now residing in Los Angeles, KANAKA is carving a unique path in the electronic music world, drawing heavy inspiration from the boundary-pushing sounds of artists like Jawns, RL Grime, and the powerhouse roster of Sable Valley. With a seamless blend of Trap, Wave, and Techno, KANAKA delivers music that's both cinematic and hard-hitting, combining intricate basslines, haunting melodies, and high-octane drops.
With a focus on building atmosphere, KANAKA creates tracks that transport listeners into dark, ethereal worlds before dropping them into gritty, bass-fueled chaos. Their music is a testament to the evolution of trap and wave, pulling from the festival-ready energy of their influences while injecting their own creative twist.
Supported by artists from Rossy, Juelz, Tisoki, REXY=DEXY, REAPER, PHIBES and others.
Now LIVE: Dual-Single
RUNUPTHEBASS + EXORDIUM - Released on Circus Electric
The two new singles reflect the full spectrum of KANAKA’s vision:
“RUNUPTHEBASS” is a 145 BPM Trap weapon built on the foundation of hard techno synths and relentless energy. It’s a dancefloor juggernaut, engineered to set the tone for late-night chaos and festival insanity.
“EXORDIUM” follows with a 140 BPM trap banger that takes cues from Skrillex’s 4-to-the-floor rave formulas. With searing rave stabs, iconic “Kill Bill” alarms, and guttural trap drops, it’s a bold, cinematic opener to what feels like the start of a dark, sonic saga.
