Y2K

Ari Starace, professionally known as Y2K, has carved out a distinct space in the modern music landscape as a record producer, DJ, and remix artist hailing from Scottsdale, Arizona. Born on July 27, 1994, Y2K's penchant for combining rib-rattling basslines with off-kilter sound design has helped him gain a reputation as a boundary-pushing artist in the industry. His work often blurs the lines between hip-hop, electronic music, and internet-driven sounds that resonate with the digital age.

Y2K's rise to fame accelerated with his viral hit "Lalala," produced alongside Canadian rapper bbno$, but his catalog extends far beyond this singular track, showcasing his versatility and keen ear for collaboration. Alongside a stream of remixes like "I Don't Do Drugs (Y2K Remix)" and "To Die For (Y2K Remix)," his original productions, such as "DIRT" featuring JPEGMAFIA and "Go Dumb," which sees him teaming up with blackbear, The Kid LAROI, and Bankrol Hayden, demonstrate his ability to engineer chart-topping hits while maintaining a foot firmly planted in the underground. With a growing fanbase and a keen sense for what resonates with the youth culture, Y2K continues to emerge as a pivotal figure in shaping the soundtrack to the digital era.
