In conjunction with Insomniac, Bassrush, Itertainment, and Junglist Events PNW, we bring you a hard-hitting night of drum & bass and dubstep dueling it out throughout two rooms of earth-shattering frequencies. Which side will you pick? Battle of the Basslines takes over Substation in Seattle with two stages of dubstep vs. drum & bass – headlined by Modestep (dubstep) vs. Murdock and Jade (drum & bass). Pick your team or play on both!

Modestep: Modestep are a dubstep and electronic rock duo from London consisting of Josh Friend and Pat Lundy. They were initially a band that formed in 2010, but former members Nick Tsang and Matthew Curtis left in 2014, Kyle Deek in 2016, and Josh’s brother Tony soon followed in 2017. Their debut album Evolution Theory was released on 11 February 2013, including its five singles: “Feel Good”, “Sunlight”, “To The Stars”, “Show Me a Sign” and “Another Day”. Modestep’s second album, London Road, was released on 25 May 2015, marking the band’s first album featuring Lundy and Deek as members. Between 2017 and March 2019, the now-duo released four singles on record label Monstercat and two EPs on Disciple Records.

Murdock: Murdock’s been behind the decks for over two decades, and has gone from throwing small bashes to rocking every major festival several times over, including a whopping 14 appearances at the world renowned Tomorrowland, regular slots at Balaton Sound, and appearances at EDC Las Vegas, Hospitality In The Park, Let It Roll, 12 shows at Dour Festival, and more gigs at countless other massive events. He ran a weekly show on national radio for 15 years and went from releasing mix CDs to building his own labels and back catalogue. Radar Records is now going strong and Rampage Recordings was recently added to the fold. Running two labels does not only put him in pole position to be aware of new music, it provides him with an unstoppable slew of dubplates, giving his sets that edge that few other dj’s can present. Murdock has played thousands of gigs in his career, easily switches between different styles of drum and bass and other electronic music, and knows how to gage an audience like no other, always eager to take people on a trip through the full spectrum, including neuro, liquid, jump up and more, pampering them with dubplates as well as classics, with double and triple drops aplenty.

Jade: Dark. Deep. Unfiltered. Unrestrained. This is premier neurofunk drum & bass. This is Eatbrain.
