SUPERDRE
Over the past few years, SuperDre has brought her unique sound and contagious stage presence to events across the Midwest. The year 2009 saw the launch of Bass Candi, a boutique label founded by SuperDre that showcases her hip-hop influenced techno beats infused with the glitchy dubstep sound she is known and loved for.
Along with an artist agreement with Native Instruments, one of SuperDre’s biggest claims to fame is the Technical Genesis mix series – a ten-volume showcase of her ability to effortlessly create a unique mix of minimal techno, electro and retro.
