SICARIA: Beatport Next Stories 2025
SICARIA has been on a tear this year. The London-born, SWANA-rooted DJ and producer has cemented herself as one of bass music’s sharpest voices – the kind of artist who can rattle a room at 140 and still sneak in moments of real emotional weight. Her sets have been shaking dance floors from Miami warehouses to Tbilisi basements, and her rise feels less like a breakout and more like a full-on takeover.
2025 has been stacked with releases that show just how deep her range goes. She kicked things off with the razor-edged collab “MOVING FWD>>” with Emz, then twisted halftime and breaks into futuristic shapes of her ANTI NIHILO EP – a heavy, personal, beautifully uncompromising project that flips burnout into power and nihilism into something fierce and defiant. It’s messy, cathartic, bass-blown storytelling at its best, all released through her own Backshift Sounds imprint.
Between dropping on iconic labels like Tectonic, sharing stages with Skrillex, Skream, Flowdan, and pushing her sound across continents, SICARIA has embodied everything Beatport Next is meant to spotlight. She’s not just one to watch – she’s already defining where modern bass music is headed, and she’s doing it entirely on her own terms.
