BRINGS THE BASS TO UKF’S USA LAUNCH PARTY


UKF (United Kingdom Federation), founded by Luke Wilson in 2009, has become a premier outlet to showcase the world’s best bass music producers. Since their launch, UKF has dominated the music industry internationally by hosting events, broadcasting music and supporting the biggest artists in the scene. To give you an idea of their overwhelming popularity, their Youtube channel, UKF Dubstep has over 2 million subscribers and close to 900 million video views.


For the last three years, UKF has been focused on sharing their love for bass music with the people of Europe, but they recently decided to bring their passion stateside. On December 1st, 2012, the UKF crew invaded New York City by hosting their official USA launch party at the Manhattan Center. Heavy hitters such as, Chase and Status, Borgore, Dirtyphonics, Delta Heavy, Bare Noize, Gemini and Xilent were on the roster for this inaugural event.


One artist in particular from this star-studded line up has caught our attention recently with his multi-genre collaborations and rising populatiry. Twenty five year old Israeli native, Asaf Borger aka Borgore, has quickly become a household name for dubstep enthusiasts. After his set at the Hammerstein, we caught up with Borgore to chat with him about UKF’s arrival in the United States and get a little insight on his future plans.


Before getting into the “technical” interview, Borgore shared a side with us that many of his fans don’t see. When casually discussing some of his customized jewelry, he mentioned that his mother made it as a gift. After a few minutes of sharing stories a fire ignited within Borgore. He began to speak very passionately about his family, saying, “I wouldn’t be anywhere without my beautiful family, they are the best,” and “I would die for anyone in my family; my mother, my sister and my dad; family over everything!” This really showed us that underneath his bad boy reputation, Asaf Borger is a very genuine and caring person. His passion for music and caring nature will be very evident as you continue reading on.


After our conversation about family came to an end, Borgore said, “Alright, let’s get to the basic shit!”
