Michaël Bella, also known as Eptic and MASTERHAND, is a Belgian bass music producer, DJ and visual artist. Eptic creates dubstep, trap, drum & bass and electronica.
History[]
Bella's first release was the self-titled Eptic EP which was released on Chronos Records in 2011 along with two singles on the label's compilations Obey EP and Farmville EP. He left Chronos Records and was signed to Never Say Die Records, starting with his Like a Boss EP in 2012, which remained on the Beatport Dubstep Top 5 Chart for several consecutive weeks.
Between 2012 and 2018, Bella released seven EPs, and the majority of his work, through Never Say Die Records, ultimately culminating with his VIP of Bloodlust, marking his final track on the imprint before its closure in 2022.
In 2019, Bella released his first single on Monstercat, Let It Go with Dillon Francis. In September that year, Eptic released his ninth EP Flesh & Blood on the label, his first EP away from Never Say Die in seven years.
After several singles on Monstercat and multiple collaboration singles, Eptic teased his upcoming debut album with the single Wall Of Death with MARAUDA. On 15 April 2022, Eptic self-released his debut LP The End of The World.
