Sun City Music Festival Artist Profile: Borgore

Hailing from Israel via London, Asaf Borger, better known as dubstep mastadone Borgore, has been intdustry’s “ruiner of dubstep” and bass music’s l’enfant terrible since early 2009. As a trained producer and drummer, 25-year old Borgore has always had a leg up on the competition. Though he produces both solo and as a duo as a part of the dubstep duo Alphamale Primates, with bass-maven Tomba, earlier in his career, he used to play drums in the death metal band Shabira.

Early tracks like “Guided Relaxtion Dub” and “Icecream” were underground successes and helped catapult him to the world-renowned fame where he’s currently riding high in. As a lyricist, he creates memorable, catchy, and sometimes questionable lines, creating a unique sound that blends perfectly into his instrumental tracks and makes for a very entertaining sing-a-long. As a producer he creates dubstep and more, calling his sound “Gorestep” and incorporating triplet drum patterns and heavy metal influences setting him apart from the rest of his peers. Perhaps our favorite example of this is his recent banger “Decisions” released last year on Buygore Records with backup vocals provided by Miley Cyrus. Known for his forward-thinking and interactive live shows that have turned him into one of dance music’s most popularly controversial entertainers, expect nothing less than a bass-in-your-face energy filled set when Borgore takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival.
