Monster Block Party talent Asaf Borger has come a long way from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel. Professionally known as Borgore, his roots in bass music were influenced by triplet drum patterns and heavy metal. The artist describes his music as “Gorestep,” incorporating sounds that are related to horror movies, farm animals and sex. As a trained musician and drummer, 26-year old Borgore has always had a leg up for the competition. “My music sounds like commercial American hip hop and death metal being played through various farm animals.”
Borgore got involved in music at very young age. He started playing piano at the age of three, moving onto the saxophone and drums throughout most of his formative years. The producer got his feet wet in the music industry before his 21st birthday as a drummer in the Israeli death metal band Shabira. This experience helped his sound in the long run, creating a unique style that would proclaim him as the “Ruiner of Dubstep.”
The world was first introduced to Borgore with his mixtape release Gorestep Vol. 1, which featured the underground classic “Love.” Audiences loved the track for its somewhat questionable lyrics and heavy dubstep sound that made it relatable to fans of hip hop and UK electro.
Every year since his first release, Borgore’s popularity has continued on an upward incline. The viral success of his one of his latest singles “Decisions” features Miley Cyrus and has given him even more international exposure than before. He followed the success of “Decisions” with “Incredible,” a collaboration with Carnage. Out on Spinnin’ Records, the single hit #1 on Beatport and quickly became a staple of this year’s Miami Music Conference.
Borgore’s live shows are exceptional, incorporating pole dancers in his production and dubbing his music as sexy. “Girls love my music: I had 40 girls dancing onstage with me at a recent show.” Currently working with Steve Aoki to release a new album for the Aokify America Tour, we are excited to welcome Borgore to the Monster Block Party in Nashville on Saturday, October 26th.
