Join IliasOpDeBeat on June 4th for an in-depth masterclass on hip-hop and trap production. He’ll take you inside his creative process, from building heavy 808s and sharp drum patterns to layering dark melodies and textures that define his sound. This is your chance to learn the techniques and mindset behind his beats, with practical insights you can apply to your own music. Ideal for producers ready to level up and carve out their own lane.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

IliassOpDeBeat, also known as MocroBoomin—or simply Iliass—is a beatmaker and DJ affiliated with the Wilde Westen label. He rose to fame through the American-style trap beats he produced for every track on the mixtape Drugs & Geld by Mula B & Louis. He gained even more recognition than most producers thanks to Mula B’s catchy intro line, “Iliass op de k*nker beat.”

Before rising to fame, Iliass was already an acquaintance of rapper Sjaak. It was Sjaak who played one of his beats for Mula B, which kicked everything off. Iliass is also known for the track Incasso, which Sevn Alias performed during his 101Barz session.
