Vastive, the Manassas, Virginia-born dubstep and metal-infused bass producer known as “the Bully on the Block,” has signed with Corson Agency for North American live music and touring representation.
Agent Brian Lachman will lead the deal, folding Vastive into a roster that already includes fellow bass acts Dack Janiels and Sacha Robotti.
Vastive continues with NYUMA for UK representation and OffCenter MGMT for management, both unchanged by the move.
Vastive built his catalog through releases on Never Say Die, Subsidia, Space Yacht Records, and Welcome Records before debuting on Monstercat in 2023 with “Die By My Hand,” a collaboration with Sullivan King. Momentum carried into 2025 with “GET SMACKED,” a Ray Volpe collaboration and lead single off Volpe’s debut album FOREVER, VOLPETRON, which DJ Snake opened his Lost Lands set with.
He’s booked for two major fall festival appearances: a RZRKT b2b Vastive set at Subtronics’ Cyclops Cove 2026 in Boca Raton this December, and a Benda b2b Vastive set at EDC Orlando 2026 in November.
The signing extends Corson Agency’s active run in bass and underground electronic music, following recent North American deals with Luke Noize, QLANK, and Taylor Torrence.
