12th Planet started in Southern California around 2006, originally as a trio with John Dadzie, Stephen Crunk, and Trevor Claxton. They worked with heavy bass and experimental sounds, putting out tracks like 'Destroyer' and 'Audio Warfare' that found an audience on underground dance floors.
By 2010, they were getting attention in the dubstep scene. They collaborated with other producers including Skrillex and Diplo. In 2012, their track 'Harlem Shake' went viral, though it drew some criticism at the time.
Crunk and Claxton left in 2017, leaving Dadzie as the only member. He kept making music under the 12th Planet name, releasing albums like 'Quantum Flux' and 'Utopia'. You can hear their style on songs like 'We Don't Play'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
