Rootstrap is a multi-instrumentalist, DJ, poet, producer + composer based out of Victoria, BC, whose performances + compositions incorporate live instruments with DJ decks, and straddle many genres including spoken word poetry, psy bass, deep dubstep, folktronica/folkstep, halftime/trap/downtempo/drum + bass, and organic house, weaving them into cohesive long-form spontaneous compositional journeys.

About the name: "rootstrap" rhymes with bootstrap, but it's different because music doesn't come from nothing; every song has ancestors, and they are all connected to each other, like how the mycelium network links tree roots under the soil, all tied together somehow.  So, this is deep organic grassroots bass, exploring the lineage of sounds; it's like a dance party in the family crypt.
