At End Overdose, we’re grateful to be a part of the electronic music family. Through our partnerships with promoters ranging from Breakaway to Insomniac, we’ve been afforded the ability to reach millions of ravers with lifesaving education and resources en masse. And once they’re off the festival grounds, they’re equipped to encourage safer, healthier communities across the country.
In anticipation of festivals including Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge, Breakaway Minnesota, and Electric Forest, we’ve curated a list of must-see artists with quick-hitting interviews to get fans buzzing before they even reach the barricades.
Read on below for our conversations with Close Friends Only, Ravenscoon, Bella Renee, and Wuki!

What song has been a staple in your sets this year?
Our “Somebody to Love” - Justin Bieber edit is one of out favorite moments we share with the crowd at just about every show.
What're you most excited about your set this weekend?
Electric Forest is a bucket list festival for all 3 of us. Over the last couple years, we’ve always watched sets from the festival and use them to get us inspired in hopes to play it one day, and here we are!
What's next for you after the festival? What do you have in store for the rest of 2026?
We just announced our tour, “Hug Your Homies.” We are playing headlines and festivals around the states! Super excited to get back on the road, playing more shows and working on more music.

What song has been a staple in your sets this year?
My Flume flip of “Say It.” After getting support from industry giants, including Griz, John Summit, and Murph - this flip feels like the summer anthem.
What're you most excited about for Electric Forest?
Honestly besides my set, I am most excited to just walk around with my wife and friends and watch sets from the GA crowd. I'm going to be Pashmina Paul all weekend.
What's next for you after the festival?I
I have a busy late summer festival schedule. My soonest shows after are Sound Haven and Fiddlers Green in Denver with Excision and Jantsen, as well as Big Dub festival. I'm very excited for all of those. I'm also trying to finish my third album by August 1st so I'm going to be in grind mode all of July.

What song has been a staple in your sets this year?
My song “IMY” with Reaper is forever a staple on every set, it’s been really beautiful to play a new city and hear them scream singing my lyrics back to me – that is never going to get old. :)
What’re you most excited about for your sets this weekend?
i’m really excited, I feel like I curated these sets to feel like summertime, it takes you on a journey of emotions mixed with hella feral energy. I’m really excited because I made an Oliver Tree tribute edit and I think that’s gonna be a very special moment for both sets.
What’s next for you after the festival? What do you have in store for the rest of 2026?
After these festivals, I am going to be getting into prep mode for Lost Lands, and I also am working on EP dropping on a dream label of mine. There’s a lot in the works right now that I can’t wait for, I’m going on tour to play support for 4 artists this fall.
