Costa

Just two years into his EDM journey, 23-year-old COSTA is already making serious noise across the bass scene. What began with hip-hop production and promoting underground events took a sharp turn after experiencing his first EDM show in 2024, where the raw energy, sound design, and connection between the music and crowd sparked a new direction. He quickly dove headfirst into bass music, teaching himself how to DJ and produce while studying biochemical engineering at the University of Maryland.

COSTA’s background as a promoter became a major advantage behind the decks, giving him an instinct for the moments that make a crowd erupt. Drawing from his hip-hop roots and the high-energy atmosphere of fraternity parties, he began flipping nostalgic pop and hip-hop records into hard-hitting bass reworks built for maximum impact. In just one year of producing, those flips took off on SoundCloud, surpassing 5 million streams across remixes of tracks including Tove Lo’s “Talking Body” and Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats,” quickly putting his name on the radar of the dance music community.

That momentum soon carried from the underground to some of the scene’s biggest stages. After packing out his 4PM Forbidden Kingdom set, COSTA went on to perform at Red Rocks on his graduation night, Bonnaroo, and two sets at Electric Forest—including a standout Honeycomb performance that showcased the next evolution of his sound. Most recently, he made his Goldenvoice debut at Splash House, adding another major milestone to a rapidly accelerating run. With support from bass heavyweights Zeds Dead, Excision, Subtronics, Levity, Crankdat, and ALLEYCVT, COSTA is quickly proving that his sound can hold its own among the scene’s biggest names. Now, with major festival stages under his belt and a growing catalog of crowd-tested records, he’s poised to make an even bigger impact with what comes next.
