Yellow Claw

About

Yellow Claw aren't just DJs; they're architects of controlled chaos, sonic demolitionists who transformed the landscape of bass music. Emerging from Amsterdam’s club scene, Jim Taihuttu and Nils Rondhuis (formerly alongside Bizzey) forged a sound that bulldozed through genre conventions, blending elements of trap, hardstyle, hip-hop, and dubstep into a signature, high-octane sonic assault. Their early mixtapes and EPs gained underground traction, culminating in their breakthrough single, "DJ Turn It Up," which became a festival anthem. Beyond the aggressive drops and relentless energy, Yellow Claw cultivated a distinct visual aesthetic and a global community under their "Blood For Mercy" banner. Collaborations with artists like DJ Snake, Flux Pavilion, and Pusha T cemented their status as innovators. The departure of Bizzey in 2016 marked a new chapter, but the duo remained committed to pushing sonic boundaries, consistently releasing albums and touring relentlessly. While many electronic acts chase fleeting trends, Yellow Claw have carved out a dedicated following by staying true to their unapologetically raw and relentlessly energetic vision, constantly evolving while retaining their core identity as purveyors of high-impact sound. Their latest releases continue to experiment with new sounds, solidifying their position as veterans constantly pushing the envelope.
