Barely Alive is an American electronic dance music duo known for their thrilling dubstep and bass-heavy tracks that grip the dance floor with magnetic intensity. Founded by Massachusetts-based producers Willie Watkins and Matthew Meier, the act has stamped its mark on the heavy bass music scene with a blend of high-energy and intricate production styles. Emerging from the underground in the early 2010s, Barely Alive quickly climbed the ranks with a string of hard-hitting releases and remixes that showcased their ability to weave melodic elements with bone-rattling basslines.

Now pillars within the bass music community, Barely Alive continues to push the envelope with their innovative sound. Their catalog features an eclectic mix of dubstep, trap, and other bass music genres, as seen in their more recent works like the energetic "Headshot" featuring Mikey Ceaser, the ferocious "Casket Case", and the dynamic "Feel The Panic EP". Always expanding their creative horizons, Barely Alive doesn't just stop at producing music; they have also shared their expertise through sample packs like "Essential Samples Vol. 2" and "Trap Sounds Vol. 1", aiding other artists in crafting their own bass-heavy hits. The duo's consistent output and charismatic stage presence ensure their name stays synonymous with the cutting-edge of electronic music.
