Dutch artist SPAG (formerly known as Spag Heddy) is stepping into a bold new era with the release of his upcoming EP “This Is: Spag”, arriving Friday, May 1st on Kannibalen Records.
Packed with four high-impact records, the EP wastes no time making a statement. It opens with ‘MESSIAH,’ a hard-hitting fusion of trap and dubstep that sets the tone with raw intensity.
Following is ‘OLD SKOOL’ tapping into liquid textures and nostalgic basslines that nod to his earlier sound while still feeling fresh.
Closing things out is ‘TREP,’ a groovy, choppy trap cut that brings a dynamic bounce to the project, rounding out the EP with a confident introduction to the new SPAG project.
Here’s what SPAG had to say about the release:
“Becoming SPAG marks a new chapter where I can step outside the pasta puns and lean into something more focused and grown, without losing the core of who I’ve always been.
The visual shift reflects that too, pulling from the grit of pop punk and skate culture that I grew up with along with a raw black, white, and red collage style. It’s intentionally imperfect and human, a move away from the polished, glossy 3D look that’s taken over.
Musically, this EP goes back to my roots in brostep and drumstep – built for the dancefloor, heavy and direct. I want to capture that early energy again, but reimagined for a new generation, the dubstep for kids who didn’t grow up in the golden brostep days. Same artist, just sharper, louder, and more dialed in.”
Originally from the Netherlands, SPAG now resides in Barcelona, Spain where he starts his next chapter with a project that revolutionizes his unique sound to a whole new level. Since producing music in 2011, SPAG continues to experiment more with his dubstep sounds that quickly gained attraction from fans and artists like heavyweights Skrillex, Subtronics, NGHTMRE, and many others who have played his tracks in their sets.
This has gained widespread attention where SPAG gained direct support from powerhouse artists like Excision, Zeds Dead, and Rusko. After multiple sold out shows, and touring dubstep legends Zomboy and Flux Pavilion, he later went on to headline major festivals like Lost Lands, EDC Las Vegas, and Life Is Beautiful.
SPAG has received major support across bass music tastemakers, including placements on Spotify’s Mint, Bass Arcade, and Apple Music’s Festival Bangers. He has also secured high-profile sync placements with leading global brands such as Fortnite, KFC, and Jägermeister—an achievement few artists in the space have reached.
With that foundation in place, his next chapter arrives with serious momentum, positioning SPAG to push his sound further than ever before.
