With a background in the Polish brutal death metal, slam and grindcore scenes as a guitarist (Rectal Sludge) and drummer (Hybrid Exoneration), SI began exploring bass heavy electronica in 2008. Inspired by the sounds of early + foundational dubstep, they experimented with fusing death metal and black metal distortion and production with that of dubstep and dark bass music.

The style “deathstep” was born.

SI’s early work, as Substep Infrabass, would inspire like-minded future producers, looking for a new sound between the worlds of the metal pit and the dubstep basement.
