Supreme Hustle - Borgore Interview

[Cupe]

Borgore, what exactly is “Gorestep”?

Who the fuck knows, yo. There is no such thing.

But it is your own original sound right?

I guess so, it is just what it is. I don’t know. It’s like a Saturday night that is much more to the metal than any other dubstep sound. I didn’t want to call it metaldub or whatever, So I just used Gore. In Israel we called death metal Gore, so I just called it Gorestep.

Dubstep is a huge movement in the electronic music scene in Canada, What is the dubstep scene like in Israel?

It’s huge, it has always been huge. It is like the second biggest scene compared to like England and England is getting tired. It has been big since 2006, 2007. Anyway, like 2007 we already had Skream twice, Caspa and Rusko twice. Benga, Caspa then Rusko in 2006. The heavy headliners keep coming since 2007. Canadians were only listening to country music then.

How has your tour been so far? What was your favourite show? Any highlights?

Tour has been great. Best place so far was Toronto. I played at Wrongbar, it has been the best show in Canada. I like Canada, it’s great. But Montreal is weird, it is hard to communicate with anyone there, they don’t speak english!

What was the best show you have ever played?

I cannot name one. I really cant. There are so many good shows. Usually my crowd isn’t a dubstep crowd, it is more like metal oriented. They are much more rowdy and much more into it. Much more like a live show vibe. I don’t like festivals, I’ve got to be honest, I prefer to play a show with 50 people. I like to feel everyone in front of me and in my face. I like people around me to fucking pump it up and get rowdy!

A lot of dubstep DJ's in Canada work with each other on mixes and inspire each other's sound, do you work closely with any other DJ's or have any that inspire you and your sound?

There is a lot of music that inspires me, I am inspired by everything. It is hard to point to one person, you know? Anything that sounds good.

What got you into producing?

My girlfriend at the time broke up with me. I was so mad I had to fucking write something. And i played it for my metal band and they loved it. I love (being a producer), because I can be independent. As a DJ/producer I can do what I want. It’s just no boundaries these days, you know? You can be everything and anything you want. I can change my sound. I don’t feel guilty about anything. If I want to play Lady Gaga, I’ll play Lady Gaga, yo.

When did you first get into dubstep?

Uh, when? Like 2006! It was Benga and Skream and all the old tunes. And mostly dub, like reggae-dub. I kind of miss those days, you know? Everything is so heavy now, there used to be lighter vibes.

Have you thought about progressing your sound to get more of that in your music?

Yeah, now I am trying to get more melodic.

Who are some of your favourite DJ's and Canadian DJ’s?

Ok. It’s like cars right. I love the Beamer, it is a great car. But then comes the Lambourghini and then the Range Rover. There is so many cars I like. It’s different and it depends on the mood. It is the same for me with music.

What do you think about the Canadian scene?

Oh, the Canadian scene. A place with such great fucking producers, man. Seriously, I don’t want to say it out loud, but the US has no DJ’s. Vaski is good, but I consider him Canadian, he has a dirty Canadian sound. I really like Canada’s scene.

But Canada, like you guys are so bored and frozen and nothing happens. So you like to take drugs and fucking party!

Tell us more about the Israeli scene, is there a lot of energy?

Yes, a lot of energy. The thing about the Israeli scene, music wise, is we have no strings attached to anything. We take inspiration from the US, the UK, Spain. So basically, whatever is new and good, we take it. Israel is the first gig that Tiesto ever played. Everything starts there, because everyone is so tired of war, you know?

So, did you fight in the Israeli Defense Forces?

Yes, I spent 3 years in the IDF.

What is the inspiration behind your ep titled "Borgore Ruined Dubstep"?

Well, umm it is nothing that I am upset about. I didn’t give it the title, people gave it the title. But I am not insulted, its just a fucking title, right?

What do you like more, being a DJ/producer or a metal drummer?

I don’t drum much anymore, really I am dead and tired.

The scene is exploding right now, with new sounds like thug step, drumstep and your unique 'gorestep', what do you think the future of dubstep will sound like?

I cannot predict the future darling. I don’t even know. But I am inspired by what is happening right now. I am just going with the flow and good vibes of good music.

If you could make a mix for the end of the world, what would it be?

That all depends on how the world will end. If it is going to end tragically with destruction, then some massacre breakdown hard shit. But if it will end in peace, then some Digital Mystix.

If you could make a dub step playlist for getting your sex on, what would it consist of?

For something calmn and tranquil, maybe some Digital Mystix. Joker can be nice. But for my music, then (the song) Nympho, it is for the sexy girls who go down and put it in in the back room, then that is just something else.

How was your show last night in Edmonton?

Edmonton was weird and kind of dodgey. The crowd wasn’t into the dubstep, but they did like the hard metal.

What does your mom think about your music and dirty lyrics?

She doesn’t care, dude, when I was 11 she came home and saw I was surfing porn. She said she would prefer me to go watch lesbians over drumming. My family is super liberal. They even tried to encourage me to open my own porn industry.

What is the best club in Tel-Aviv, Israel?

Barz Ilay! But it got closed down.
