BIO
With a background in the Polish Brutal Death Metal, Slam and Grindcore 
scenes as a guitarist (Rectal Sludge) + drummer (Hybrid Exoneration), 
SI began to explore producing 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 likeminded future 
producers, looking for a new sound between the worlds of the metal pit 
and the dubstep basement.
