ABOUT SMOAKLAND
Injecting the West Coast scene with audacious spirit and a kinetic pulse, Smoakland—comprised of dynamic duo Anthony Battaglia and Harrison Hays—stays true to the edgy ethos of their Bay Area roots. The pair met at Boise State University and merged their shared passions: the smoky charm of cannabis culture and the explosive world of dubstep, forming Smoakland in 2018.
Smoakland's distinctive sound—a gripping fusion of "Old School" Dubstep—has garnered international acclaim, drawing inspiration from industry trailblazers such as Zeds Dead, Eptic, and Mersiv. Their unique groove pays homage to their first love, the Afrojack-spun genre "Dirty Dutch," an early influence that kick-started Anthony's dive into music production in 2014.
Both Anthony and Harry wear their hearts on their sleeves, transforming personal trials and triumphs into sonic stories. Harry found his muse during a rough patch in life, a transformative period that culminated in his revelation: "Smoakland saved my life." On the flip side, Anthony found inspiration in a heart-wrenching personal loss. A life-altering moment at Burning Man, coupled with a perfectly timed call from Harry, sparked the birth of their musical brotherhood.
Since their debut, Smoakland’s journey has been one wild ride. Their shared vibe, 100% freestyle, unearths a raw rhythm and flow that only a true bond can bring. Their niche—a nod to Bay Area sports and legendary cannabis strains like Cinderella 99—has struck a chord with headbangers, critics, and enthusiasts alike.
Smoakland's milestones include a ground-shaking debut at Electric Forest in 2022, drawing a crowd of 15,000; a riveting performance at Red Rocks under their DnB alter ego Liquid Smoak; and their chart-smashing Deadbeats EP Smoak Sesh, which hit No. 1 on Beatport Dubstep in Fall 2022. The duo is also set to support longtime inspirations Zeds Dead at Deadrocks IX in July 2023.
Smoakland's journey speaks volumes about resilience and the power of transformation. As Harry says, "You can literally rewrite your life at any given time." Rising from humble beginnings to electrifying masses at Electric Forest and Red Rocks, and headlining the High Rollers Tour with Kumarion, Smoakland is just getting started. With their intoxicating story and undeniable talent, this duo is poised to keep shaking up the music scene.
