Free to download and built entirely out of tracks he loves, 'SPAG PACK 001' is out now on SoundCloud — six unofficial remixes and bootlegs handed straight to the fans at no cost from SPAG, the artist formerly known as Spag Heddy.
The choice of format is deliberate. Flips and remixes were how Mischa Reining built his career in the first place, taking records he admired and rebuilding them into something of his own. Putting a pack of them out for free is a way of giving that energy back to the community that carried him here.
“Dubstep gave me a career, and flips & remixes were a huge part of that journey,” SPAG says. “I’ve spent years taking tracks I love and turning them into something of my own. Now I want to give some of that energy back to the community that made this whole thing possible. Free flips & remixes.”
The pack follows a busy year under his new name. After over a decade as Spag Heddy, he rebranded to SPAG earlier this year, marking the shift with the single ‘Messiah’ in March and the THIS IS: SPAG EP in May. That rebrand was less a reinvention than a sharpening: where Spag Heddy leaned into colour and playfulness, SPAG is darker and more deliberate — grit, distortion and raw energy, with visuals stripped back to black, white and fragments of red, built from cutout collage and mixed media that nod to punk and skate culture. Fifteen years in, the cartoon is gone and what’s left is the core: harder, heavier and uncompromising.
Known for over a decade as Spag Heddy, Reining has built a global reputation on boundary-pushing bass music, relentless touring and a catalog that helped shape the modern bass scene. His music has dominated festivals, clubs and main stages worldwide, earning support from artists like Skrillex, Excision, Subtronics and NGHTMRE, alongside official remixes for The Chainsmokers, Krewella and SLANDER. From early viral hits to sold-out headline tours and major support runs with Zomboy, Flux Pavilion, Excision and Zeds Dead, Spag Heddy carved out a distinct lane — hard-hitting, melodic and unmistakably his own.
Now that chapter evolves. ‘SPAG PACK 001’ is the same instinct pointed back at the people who have followed him through all of it — no excess, no irony, just the flip-first spirit that started the whole thing.
In other news, Spag Heddy previously released the eclectic ‘The Big Boil’ EP via Tomato Bass, one of the final chapters of the Spag Heddy era before the rebrand.
SPAG PACK 001 is available now via SPAG’s SoundCloud.
