CANVAS UNLEASHES NEW EP UNTAMED — OUT NOVEMBER 18 ON WAKAAN
Forging her own lane within the ever-evolving landscape of bass music, Atlanta-based DJ, producer, and creative CANVAS releases her debut WAKAAN EP, Untamed, this Tuesday, November 18. As her first full release with the label, the EP marks a defining moment for CANVAS – raw, uninhibited, and fully in her element.
Following her previous collaborations with WAKAAN, including her standout end-of-year mixtape in 2024 and recent single Take Me Down featured on the 10-year anniversary compilation album Heartbeat, the Untamed EP also caps off a landmark year for CANVAS, which saw her expand her sonic range through The Observer EP on Odyzey, the Inner Loops EP on Deep, Dark, and Dangerous, and her official remix for Khiva, each showcasing her ability to blend heavy low-end with hypnotic emotion and fierce individuality.
Channeling the grit, energy, and emotion that have come to define her live performances, Untamed captures that liminal space between dusk and dawn, when creativity flows wild and the untamed spirit comes alive. Throughout the three tracks, each one explores a different form of release. Opening with “Cut Loose,” CANVAS dives headfirst into liberation – a rush of heavy bass and defiant rhythm that demands movement. The energy carries into “Afterhours,” a late-night collaboration with Wilsun, where vocals and pulsating low-end drive the soundscape deeper into the night. Finally, “What You Started” winds down in the haze of emotion, equal parts confession and closure.
The daughter of Zimbabwean immigrants and one of the most exciting emerging names shaping modern bass music, CANVAS’ work bridges cultural rhythm and intense sound design, transforming her sets into high-energy sound therapy and her records into emotional catharsis. With Untamed, she steps into her own, channeling her voice, production, and identity into a sound both unrestrained and undeniable.

“‘Untamed’ is pure energy - unboxed, unbound, and ever‑expanding. With influences ranging from garage to dubstep, psytrance to 90s rave, this EP channels the raw spirit of the sounds that built rave culture and helped shape me! This one is a nod to the artist I am becoming, untamed in expression, unboxed by genre and uniquely wild!” - CANVAS
