Distinct Motive is a Canadian producer/DJ creating explorative, visceral bass music for the masses. 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. Distinct Motive has gained support from many great dubstep acts/foundational figures such as Mala, Truth, J.Sparrow and J:Kenzo.
With 5 vinyl releases under his belt from 2016-2019 on imprints such as Deep Dark & Dangerous to J.Sparrow’s Navy Cut, Distinct Motive has proven to be a staple in the new wave of the deeper sounds.
