CRUSH X MODERN HEART

About

Baltimore is in the building! CRUSH x MODERN HEART are bringing two of the city's most exciting voices in underground dance music to Seattle: KADE YOUNG and S.DOT. Rooted in the legacy of Baltimore Club while pushing its sound into new territory, both artists are helping shape the next generation of East Coast club music through heavy percussion, deep bass, and boundary-pushing productions. KADE YOUNG is a DJ, producer, educator, and label head whose sound bridges the infectious bounce of Baltimore Club with the deeper, moodier textures of house music. With releases on Night Slugs, Clasico Records, and Local Action, including his acclaimed 2026 EP Gravity, Kade continues to redefine the Bmore sound. Beyond the decks, he's building community through his label WO- alongside JIALING and creating opportunities for emerging queer, femme, and trans producers in Baltimore. S.DOT brings a hypnotic fusion of raw Baltimore energy, Afro-influenced percussion, atmospheric melodies, and global bass. Drawing inspiration from South Africa and Brazil, his productions explore the spaces between rhythm, movement, and melody. From releases on Night Slugs to his Slow Burn EP and collaborations with serpentwithfeet and Ty Dolla $ign, S.DOT has carved out a sound that's as versatile as it is infectious, taking him to dancefloors across the globe. Together, Kade Young and S.DOT represent the past, present, and future of Baltimore's club movement. Two distinct sounds connected by a shared commitment to pushing club music forward while keeping the dancefloor at the center of it all.
