One of the year’s biggest bass music collaborations has arrived as Teddy Pain, DJ Diesel, NGHTMRE, San Holo, Kompany, Samplifire, and Ivory join forces on “STFU,” out now via Monstercat and BassMint Entertainment. The explosive single also marks a major milestone for Teddy Pain, the electronic music project from T-Pain, and the launch of his new bass-focused label and creative platform.
The release follows years of T-Pain quietly immersing himself in electronic music, regularly showcasing his production skills during Twitch livestreams before officially expanding into the bass scene under the Teddy Pain alias. His passion culminated in Bass Bootcamp, a four-day Twitch event that brought together some of bass music’s most respected producers to collaborate in real time. “STFU” emerged directly from those sessions, serving as the first major statement from this new creative chapter.
Driven by a commanding vocal hook from Teddy Pain, the track quickly erupts into an all-out dubstep assault. Each collaborator leaves a distinct imprint on the production, with NGHTMRE delivering his signature festival-ready intensity, San Holo adding melodic flair, Kompany contributing razor-sharp sound design, Samplifire bringing crushing low-end power, Ivory injecting precision production, and DJ Diesel amplifying the track with his unmistakable larger-than-life energy.
The result is a hard-hitting anthem built for massive sound systems and festival stages, showcasing the collective strengths of some of bass music’s most recognizable names alongside rising innovators.
For DJ Diesel, the collaboration continues a long-standing commitment to elevating both established stars and emerging talent within the bass community. While artists like NGHTMRE and San Holo remain global festival fixtures, the inclusion of Kompany, Samplifire, and Ivory reflects Diesel’s ongoing mission to spotlight producers shaping the genre’s future.
Fans won’t have to wait long to experience the collaboration live. Electric Forest will host the debut back-to-back performance from DJ Diesel and Teddy Pain, where they’ll premiere “STFU” together on the Tripolee Stage, giving festivalgoers the first live taste of one of the most ambitious bass records released this year.
With “STFU,” Teddy Pain officially announces his arrival in electronic music, backed by an all-star lineup that delivers a relentless, festival-ready showcase of modern bass music at its heaviest.
