Whatever you may think of him, there is no denying that Borgore is one of the biggest names in the world of bass music. His music combines heavy, aggressive dustup with electro house and trap, often characterised as 'brostep' due to its Americanised, gimmick-inflected, aggressively loud variation of the dubstep genre.
Borgore received a formal musical education, studying jazz at Tel Aviv's Thelma Yellin Music Academy, as a saxophone player and composer for big band ensembles. Yet his tastes turned to electronic music and dubstep, after hearing DJs playing music by the likes of Benga, Mala and Coki, who pioneered the dubstep genre in London, UK. He then began to make music in a similar style achieving significant success via the internet.
Borgore released several EPs since 2010, becoming more polished in his sound following his initially crude releases. He has also set up his own record label, titled Buygore, through which he has released his own music, as well as artists Dead Audio, Bare Noize, Kennedy Jones and At Dawn We Rage. Borgore also performs as a duo with fellow dubstep artist Tomba.
In 2012, he released the single "Decisions" which featured a guest performance by Miley Cyrus. The track was a huge hit and the video has received several millions of views. It also sparked the beginning of Miley Cyrus' changing image, moving away from her reputation as a child-friendly pop star.
In 2014, Borgore released his first full length album, titled "#NEWGOREORDER" on Diplo's Mad Decent label. The album showcased a more eclectic mix of influences, from EDM to trap to hip hop. Borgore also showcases some of his lyrical abilities, rapping on some of the songs on his album.
The rise of dubstep over the past decade or so has given rise to plenty of eccentrics and their own unique styles, whether it be Skrillex’s interpolation of metal and dance sounds or the urban edge that Magnetic Man lent to both their group and solo endeavours, and Borgore is another artist who stands as a testament to that; hailing from Tel Aviv, Israel, he’s blended both classic elements of the genre and some of the new movements that border on novelty - like brostep, for instance - to create a sound that’s certainly plenty marketable, if nothing else. He describes his own sound as ‘gorestep’ on account of his frequently heavy instrumental choices and the regularity with which he references horror movies and culture, and has a diverse musical history that’s seen him perform in strip clubs, collaborate with Miley Cyrus and plenty more besides. He’s also linked up with the likes of Diplo and Waka Flocka Flame, and has proven a staple of the European festival circuit this summer, continuing to toy with his unique brand of dubstep in front of huge crowds across the continent. UK fans can catch him at Reading and Leeds festivals very soon, with further dates likely to follow; he’s rarely off the road for long.
