Caspa at Ramova Theatre

Distinct Motive, real name Phil Shore, is a Canadian dubstep producer/DJ creating explorative, visceral bass music for the masses. Originally a duo formed in 2013 with Josh Bates, the project now primarily represents Shore’s solo, 140-bpm deep dubstep style. He quickly made a name for himself with his dark and minimal production style. Paying homage to the early aesthetic of dubstep while building a sound unique unto himself, he has put his respective hometown of Toronto on the map in international bass music circles, advocating for the original, dub-influenced side of dubstep to elated audiences across North America and Europe.
