Boris Gladkikh, aka Gladkill, has been on a meteoric rise in the electronic music scene since he first began playing live in 2009. Originally hailing from NYC, Gladkill now resides in Oakland and is part of Headtron, where the versatile young producer’s music fits perfectly alongside the other talented artists that make up the collective.
Through his tremendous work ethic and tireless touring schedule, Gladkill has already played for massive audiences on the stages of large-scale music festivals such as Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis and Envision in Costa Rica. Winning over new fans at every stop with his refreshing style of dance music, Gladkill’s Fall 2012 tour marks his biggest to date as he travels North America alongside acclaimed bass music peers Gramatik and Bassnectar.
On the recently released free EP, ‘Perception’, Gladkill treated fans to some exclusive white label remixes of artists such as Drake, The Dream and Mariah Carey that have become crowd favorites during his recent live sets. However with ‘Beta’ out October 8th on Muti Music, his brand new EP of all original music, Gladkill showcases his most mature and sublime work to date. With a heavier emphasis on songwriting and song structure, Gladkill is aiming to make music that will stand the test of time as he gears up to release his anticipated debut artist album in early 2013.
When you listen to Gladkill’s songs or see him perform, you’ll discover an artist set apart between the sheets of cool bass lines and ethereal melodies. In an era where disposable dance music is big business, Gladkill makes anything but.
“Gladkill is on top of his game lately. Not only did he just release ‘Perception’, an EP of bangin remixes and a track on Gravitas Recordings ‘Neurovation’, but he also has an amazing EP coming up called ‘Beta’ on Muti Music.”
-Afro Monk
“Gladkill is a talent in his prime, and its not going unnoticed – he’s touring alongside Bassnectar this Fall.”
–Sound Logik
“Not quite Purple, yet not quite chill-step, Gladkill is straddling the line between genres to make a sound all his own.”

“If you haven’t heard of him yet, you should. Gladkill from the west coast is a magician when it comes to bass music.”

“I don’t know if any of you are familiar with west coast bass producer Gladkill but it’s about time to have your eyes opened!”
