Borgore is the alias of Israeli dubstep producer, DJ, singer-songwriter Asaf Borger. Borger was born to a Jewish family in Holon, Israel and was raised in Tel Aviv. In 2012 Borger moved to Los Angeles. Borgore’s introduction to the bass-driven dubstep genre came one night in a Tel Aviv indie club where the DJ was spinning what Borgore refers to as “all the Croydon guys” — Skream, Benga, Mala, Coki, etc. Borgore describes that night as life-changing; “I loved drum and bass, trance, and hip hop… for me, dubstep brought all of that together.” Borgore immediately began making his own tracks, which he uploaded to the internet accompanied by simple videos. Called the enfant terrible of bass culture and happy to name himself the man who “ruined dubstep,” his genre-destroying “gorestep” and maniacal live shows have made him an iconic character in the modern bass scene. "Gorestep" includes triplet drum patterns with heavy metal influences. Songs have been sonically suggestive of horror movies, farm animal vocalizations, and sex. He has released tracks under Dim Mak Records, Spinnin' Records, Sumerian Records, Shift Recordings, and his own label, Buygore. He is also a drummer for the deathcore band Shabira, and part of the dubstep duo Alphamale Primates, which consists of him and Tomba.
