Ren Zukii is lighting up the Australian bass scene as the first female artist to ink an exclusive deal with WAKAAN. With a slew of dynamic releases and heart-stopping live performances, Ren has quickly become a major sensation. Her recent Touch Bass 2024 tour across Australia ended on high notes everywhere, drawing raves from critics and fans alike. Moreover, her presence has also dominated the airwaves; she’s made notable appearances on George FM Drive with Sin & Brook in New Zealand and on Triple J in Australia in March 2024, delving into her creative process and teasing some exciting upcoming projects.
Now, Ren is set to drop her latest track “Push Up Ya Lighter,” in collaboration with the UK hip-hop vocal power duo Virus Syndicate. Slated for release on April 26th under the iconic WAKAAN label, this tune mixes UKG, breaks, and dark synth chords to deliver a robust, bass-driven anthem that’s sure to become a highlight of her electrifying live performances.
“After being given the opportunity to work with Nik & Jay, I sent them this simple but catchy UKG idea and they sent back their vocal stems—a high energy rap that sounded like it came from an authentic place and it went with the beat so well, lyrically and musically.”

“We had so much fun working on this record with Ren. As soon as it hit the inbox we were both really inspired to write and It’s such a unique soundscape it really gave us lots of freedom to explore lyrically. The end result is something special. A record that will stand the test of time and transcend musical boundaries. We’re super excited for this one to drop on the mighty Wakaan and can’t wait for the fans to hear what we created together. Big shout to Ren every time! Huge talent!” – Virus Syndicate
Hailing from the famed surf town of Margaret River in Western Australia, Ren found her rhythm with drum & bass at just 12 years old. This early love for music spurred her onward to DJing and later, a formal education in music production at university. Her unique sound has carved out her niche in the bass music world, leading to multiple hit releases on Liquid Stranger’s WAKAAN label.
She’s one to watch out for and easily one of the hottest names in the bass scene globally.
