If you're reading THUMP, you're probably on your game enough to know the difference between Jack U and Jack Beats. If you're an avid reader, you've heard us wax poetic about acts like Tchami, Hannah Wants and Dusky enough to know they're the jawn. We're tryna shine a light on acts we haven't gotten the chance to douse with love in recent memory, the hidden gems of the HARD Summer lineup. So get out your notepads, kids, it's time to get wise.Alix Perez

Shift K3y
A Night Bass favorite, Shift K3y brings the shuffled post-garage whomp in droves, but his bigger tunes have some real pop bounce to them. Can you really call a guy who just showed up onNow That's What I Call Music 88in the UK underground? Either way, a rare L.A appearance is not to be missed.Milo & Otis
Kry Wolf
The Food Music co-bosses have an iron grasp on deep house vibes, but on occasion, they'll drop some garage-y whomp that'll have you losing the contents of your pockets as you vehemently shake those hips, those thighs, etc.Kidnap Kid
DJ Sliink
This whole east coast club thing is getting outta hand. Ever since Lido turned into a Turtle, the niche-y sound has been gathering steam real quick. Sliink favors mainstream hip hop samples, and with A$AP Mob and Mustard on the bill, he might find a very receptive audience.EPROM
Bixel Boys
