Justin Hawkes

Justin Hawkes is an American producer and DJ from Roanoke, Virginia. His output spans bassline, chillstep, drum and bass, drumstep, dubstep, jungle and liquid funk, and he has released music on Monstercat and Bassrush. Key credits include the Monstercat single "That Look", the Bassrush collaboration "Bebe" (with T & Sugah), and an official remix credit on REAPER's "BARRICADE". He has also released material under the alias Flite and is associated with the Drumcaste Collective.

Public biographical detail about Hawkes’s early life and entry into electronic music is limited. What is documented: he previously put out work as Flite before releasing under his given name, and he connects professionally with the Drumcaste Collective. Those releases and associations map a path from independent bass-music output into label releases and credited remixes.

Musically, Hawkes works across multiple bass-led styles. His catalog moves between DnB and wider bass-music — from liquid-leaning textures to heavier dubstep/drumstep and jungle-tinged tracks. Across named releases he emphasizes low-frequency weight and club-ready arrangement: grooves and basslines drive tracks while melodic or atmospheric layers sit above the low end. Within that range you’ll find elements tied to liquid funk (clean pads and harmonic parts) alongside more aggressive bass design associated with dubstep and drumstep.

As a producer, Hawkes’s public credits show work on original singles, collaborations, and official remixes. "That Look" and the Bassrush release "Bebe" (with T & Sugah) are explicit label-level entries; the REAPER "BARRICADE" remix is an official rework listed in his credits. He has performed live and toured across North America and appears on festival and event bills and artist listings for U.S. shows, bringing his productions to club and festival lineups.

Specific personal influences are not widely documented in public sources. His professional connections include collaborators such as T & Sugah and a remix credit involving REAPER, and his earlier output under Flite provides a traceable lineage in his discography. Hawkes’s verified record of label releases, the Flite alias, the Drumcaste Collective affiliation, and North American touring form the concrete, public backbone of his profile.
