DUNJ x Astral People x Asylum ft. Sherelle - Opening UK Bass

Introducing DJ Backcar aka Quakes!

Instantly hooked since discovering the world of dubstep and grime in 2007, DJ Backcar has been immersed in the sounds of UK Bass for the majority of his life, closely following the growth of 140BPM genres and subsequent rise in popularity ever since.

DJ Backcar is a project that spurred from putting down the drumsticks after 9 years as a classically-trained drummer/percussionist to pursue a professional career.

Since 2017, Backcar has orchestrated and delivered electrifying sets at clandestine bush doofs, pulsating warehouse soirées, and clandestine open-air raves. Notably, he stands as an integral part of the Sydney/Eora-based underground rave collective, Gennyada.

A certified connoisseur of bass, Backcar's deep connection with the weighty rhythms and subsonic frequencies transcends mere enjoyment—it's a form of sonic therapy. His fervent desire is to diffuse this love for soul-stirring, deeply curative music through his sets. Drawing from his rhythmic origins and entrenched within diverse underground subcultures, Backcar's affection for 140BPM styles reverberates through his mixes, an homage to the beats that accompanied his youthful escapades hanging out of the rattling bar car of trains, fused with an eclectic embrace of hip hop. His soundscape predominantly weaves the tapestry of mid-2000s "golden era" dubstep, grime, garage, and breakbeat, seamlessly interwoven with contemporary influences.

Backcar has graced numerous gatherings, underground bunkers, intimate bush doofs, and high-octane warehouse parties, including standout performances at Soul Shack Sunday Sesh warehouse rave in 2022, the impromptu Dunj warehouse house party in the same year, and the electric Gennyada God Save The Rave in 2022. 
Backcar also featured at Dunj x Astral People x Asylum's Sherelle Eora tour stop in 2023, and Sickest House, Soul Shack, Wavecult and Liquid Ritual's Astral Carnivale in 2024, with an upcoming guest mix with Mood Support on the horizon.

We are back with another blend from local legend Quakes (formally DJ Backcar), who has brought us a proper exploration of deep dubstep flavours - and in Mood Support tradition, it is just as suitable for cruising in your lowered SUV on the main street, climbing a tree, or chilling in the bath with cucumbers over your eyes. 

Settle in to 2 hours of the finest of the fine. Big thanks to @quakes140 for the mix - he submitted this to us 2 years ago and we have been busy ensuring our research and development teams were ready to let this one out into the world.

Here it is, enjoy <3

__________

Quakes is a DJ deeply rooted in the weighty pulse of UK bass music, drawing inspiration from dubstep, grime, and the sub-heavy sounds of sound system culture. Since first discovering the genres as a 10y/o drummer in 2007, he’s been captivated by its raw energy and meditative low end — a passion that has only deepened over nearly two decades.

With nine years of formal classical percussion training behind him, Quakes brings a refined rhythmic focus to every set — blending syncopated basslines with atmospheric textures and percussive depth. His selections are immersive, grounded in deep dub sensibilities, yet built to move crowds in both bush and club environments.

A dedicated vinyl collector, Quakes also performs all-vinyl sets that draw from rare dubplates, white label grime instrumentals, UKG and classic 140 gems — paying homage to the roots of the culture while showcasing his crate-digging instincts.

Since 2017, Quakes has been a consistent presence in Sydney's underground scene, performing at (and organising) warehouse raves, outdoor gatherings, and bush doofs. He is a key member of @Gennyada crew. Recent highlights include three sets at Twisted Frequency Festival NZ 2025 (2 representing @DUNJsyd) and a set at Art Valley Winter 2025. He has also shared stages with international heavyweights such as Ago, Hijinx, Nina, Sherelle, Tubby Isiah, Degs, and Gardna.

Whether under the trees or inside warehouse walls, Quakes delivers sound system-ready sets that balance sonic weight with spatial awareness — crafted to move both body and mind. A true student of bassweight, his performances are composed for deep listening and ground-shaking release.
