HIGHSOCIETY, the San Diego artist known for his genre-crashing “DATAMOSH” sound, has signed with Corson Agency for North American live music representation. Agents Brian Lachman and Karina Thomas will oversee his touring, with management continuing through 24-8 MGMT.
Born James Guttman, HIGHSOCIETY built his name blending heavy metal, dubstep, drum & bass, and trap into a live-focused, cross-genre experience.
His debut album DATAMOSH, released March 2025 on FiXT Records, featured collaborations with Escape The Fate, AWOLNATION, and Attack Attack!, and earned placements on Spotify’s Bass Arcade and Alternative Metal editorial playlists.
He opened for Steve Aoki in San Francisco and Nashville earlier this year and dropped new 2026 single “Hypersample” to keep momentum going.
Corson Agency has been expanding its bass music footprint aggressively. The agency recently signed both Badklaat and Ossien for North American representation, signaling a clear strategic push into the heavier electronic space. HIGHSOCIETY’s signing slots neatly into that momentum.
Previously, HIGHSOCIETY released music through labels including Red Bull Records, Barong Family, Dim Mak, and Universal, while his live profile grew through support runs alongside Knife Party, Kill The Noise, and Modestep, plus festival appearances at Live 105 BFD, Bottlerock, and Amsterdam Dance Event.
Takeaways
This signing is about more than booking shows, it’s a signal that HIGHSOCIETY is ready to scale. Coming off a debut album that proved he can hold his own in both rock and electronic spaces, locking in dedicated North American representation through Corson Agency is the infrastructure move that turns momentum into a real touring career.
The fact that Corson just signed Badklaat and Ossien in the same window tells you they’re building a cohesive bass music lane, and HIGHSOCIETY fits right in. Paired with 24-8 MGMT still holding the management reins, the team structure is now fully in place.
With Corson now repping Badklaat, Ossien, and HIGHSOCIETY, are we watching the agency quietly become the go-to home for heavy electronic artists in North America? Could HIGHSOCIETY’s crossover appeal between metal and bass music open doors at rock festivals that traditional EDM acts can’t access?
