The Rise of MARAUDA

In this video, I document the meteoric rise of Marauda - from Soundcloud prodigy to global Bass phenomenon in little over half a decade. I dive deep into the music, branding and more that have got him to this point. And beyond that, what the future might hold for him.

He absolutely is, and I cannot deny his influence on my own sound design. :)

[@thomasfoissy4829]

Sure

[@hectorloza5575]

Totally, he has such a distinct sound as an artists and also that sound is so energetic and heavy, so you have there the perfect combination for success: a sound so distinct that no one else has + that sound sounds great and powerful

[@blakeparthenay3049]

100% I remember finding his stuff here when it was still Mastadon and the style and sound at the time was unmatched. And while many have tried to make what he makes now, his sound still stands alone in quality and presence. Caught him in Portland in 2019 right before the pandemic and man was that a night to remember. Great video, I'm loving these.

[@justalpha9138]

@@blakeparthenay3049 I first saw him live in February of 2020 having no idea of his existence and he was f*cking terrifying. XD

I'd really like to see a video on the evolution of Dubstep. From it's very beginning to its current state, subgenres, trends, insights into labels and important releases and then rounding it of with somewhat of a top list of your absolute favourite producers and songs. Would be incredible.

[@frankycheifsosa8946]

Timboh's 'all my homies hate skrillex' does a good job explaining the evolution from the beginning till about skrillex era, hence the title lol. It's more of a personal take on his own experiences with the genre but its very informative.

[@rubennap98]

it was insane live. It was 6am, everyone totally exhausted but the energy went trough the roof

Bro Marauda is that kid from Australia that just knew how to deliver some of the hardest punches in the history of dubstep and is still innovating and tearing it up all over the scene, what a guy..

Dark techno?

[@MiyamotoDGuts]

@@abbskebabs6288 that's what he called it

[@jimmiemarshall263]

A few notes on Marauda: -Elephant Man had, for my money, the only good remix of LAXX'S Step Two at the time -Because he was so young when he was starting out and his tracks were doing so much damage so quick, he wasn't allowed in any legal capacity into nightclubs here and actually had Aussie tearout peer Nexu5 play sets under his name wearing a mask -A memorable track from the start of his first overseas show with Subfiltronik, Subminus, would remain unreleased until Malignant Vol 1. Cute -Hamish can never be heard on the mic at shows, letting the music do the talking as you said

[@mildlydecent]

absolutely amazing

[@bmcsk787]

Yeah Nexu5 also played his Europe debut in Paris

[@MayorMcCheese47]

I had no idea about Nexu5 playing shows under his name that's wild

[@jimmiemarshall263]

@@Aona_Music technically this is true. I know you meant on the mic, but he can often be found in the crowd showing love to the supports at home shows. I went out of my way from the middle of nowhere to see him play HAVOC and made sure to say hi. He's very humble

[@tabletkidofficial]

Marauda legitimately has one of the most dedicated fanbases out of any dubstep producer in the modern bass era. Go onto any video of any set from any festival that hosted Marauda, and you’ll be bound to find at least ten comments requesting that his set be posted.

[@mintnite]

All i need in life is a Space Laces & Marauda collab

[@landonfleury]

thank you for this video - as someone who did not understand the hype at all for the longest time, this helped paint a really clear picture of how MARAUDA became a household name I was also kind of hoping you would touch on the brief time he changed his name to "Masta-Don" in between Mastadon and Marauda haha

[@Nawtystep]

No worries and my pleasure! I did actually write something about Masta-Don but honestly it felt a little superfluous in the script and I couldn’t find an organic way of making it flow properly. Felt extra

Seems like impeccable timing that Marauda released the Eptic collab only a few hours before this video! Great video as always, between this one and the Space Laces video essay i'm very eager to see what else you have planned for the future :) seeing as Getter's Visceral EP is my all-time favorite album, I would love to see a video on him at some point

Thank you for this, and for everyones support! As his big bro this made me cry to see how far my lil bros come.. since he was a 2 year old, he always had a passion for music, learn to play bass at age 6, then developed more into the electronic scene.. we are all so proud of him..🙏❤

[@Avixy29]

Went to my first festival few months ago. Marauda was last on the line-up and i didn't know a single thing about him, i was mainly waiting for other producers, but some people i met there told me to just wait and see. And oh my god i couldn't even begin to describe his set. After a whole day under a heavy sun, being so tired - and so happy - , thinking the day could not go any better he got on stage, i saw him right before, he was so shy and young i thought "no way it's him i must have got it wrong" and oh my god once he's on stage he's a BEAST. I thought the world would crumble under my feet i'm not even kidding, it's a feeling i will never forget, you just feel the pressure, the insaaaaaaane heavy as fuck and long and everythingyouwant build up, and the drop holy fucking shit, one hour of set felt like an entire day, you think you can finaly catch a breath and he drop it even harder the next second. If you ever, EVER have the occasion of going to one of his set, go, do not hesitate it's a one-of-a-kind experience. Thank you marauda for such an amazing day, keep having fun making music.

[@onsetoffall7497]

First up: Marauda has always kinda fascinated me. Despite usually really not caring for extremely heavy bass music like tearout I find myself coming back to Marauda for the same reason I listen to Svdden Death - The demonic, horrific theme (Which justifies the heaviness in my mind if that makes any sense) Second: That song that you can very clearly hear at 16:56 will become iconic to this channel, mark my word.

Before this video, Marauda was for me like any other DJ out there. Now, he is inspiring me to accomplish my dream becoming a dubstep artist.

[@MayorMcCheese47]

Saw Marauda last night in Buffalo at a 1000+ cap venue and it's nuts to me that he's headlining these kind of venues and damn near selling them out. When I first heard his style I never thought it would have that level of appeal due to how brutal and heavy it is. But i'm stoked on the success he's been having definitely well deserved! Also he's one of the only artists in EDM that i've seen keep a mosh pit going for a whole set. I normally only see that at metal shows

I'm definitely catching his Ubbi Dubbi set this year!!! 🔥🔥💯🔥🔥😎

[@sharr3766]

It's funny because I grew up with dubstep during the 2012-2015 era, and I can recall having a heated exchange with Elephant Man, he made a track with only stolen sample packs from D jahsta, the track was horrible but quite catchy at the same time, I called him out and he responded. He would also insult Chrispy music in his early days on darkstep warrior. At some point he a track with a guy calle trill pix or something like that and it was very good, classic dubstep gutter type of dubstep. This is what I believe to be the great beginning of his journey. Now fast forward 7 years later I attended one of his show, there hundreds of ppl coming just for him.. It's crazy to think that this young arrogant shitty producer like many others at that time actually became one of the best musician of the bass music, he has my full respect

[@Gear5JayTTV]

I need this intro and ull set from the beginning of this video, that intro was so sickkkk!!!!!

[@hauntedkrab]

I talked to him before he really blew up (This was about the time Warlords and the Turbo EP came out) and he seems like a really nice, down to earth guy, a bit quiet and timid sometimes but overall a cool dude. He was super passionate about his stuff and really appreciated any feedback he got and tried his best to sound diverse and different with each release. I literally found the messages as I was typing this lmao
