The Youth Takeover: The Youngest & The Greatest In the Game

With electronic music gaining more and more attention as the days go by, more and more people want to get involved with what we are all about. Because we have such a massive influx of attention getting turned towards us, that means we also get a lot of younger kids in the scene who get started on making electronic music. Some of these guys are as young as 16 when they start touring and probably have been making beats since they came out of the womb.

Point being, these guys are really good and we wanted to point out some of the kids who are leading the way for all their fellow brethren 19 years and younger. We picked 5 of them for you, but we don’t mean to discredit any of the other guys who are young as well and currently killing it. As far as we can all tell, all of them are going to be huge key players in the years to come.

5) Curbi

Born the 27th of October 1998, Toby Curwen-Bingley, better known by his stage name Curbi, just turned 18 and celebrated his birthday recently. He is best known for the tracks “Discharge” and “Rubber”, which both reached the Beatport Top 10, achieving more than 1.5 million views on Spinnin’ Records YouTube Channel. On top of this he just released another single a couple days ago titled “Red Point.” Pretty impressive for the young stud, and by the looks of it he doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.

4) Oshi

If you don’t know his name, you know his music, because at one point in time or another every artists has played Oshi‘s flip of “Ridin Around” by Kali Uchis. It’s totaled up to 14.5m plays right now on his soundcloud. Definitely pretty wild for a kid who is only 18 years old. As co-founder of the rising Film Noir collective and with support from Soulection, HW&W and more, Oshi continues to keep everyone on their toes with unique and forward thinking productions that are unlike anything else in music right now.
