When it comes to the world of dubstep, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the never-ending supply of talent out there, but it’s safe to say Dr. Ushuu has separated himself from the rest of the pack thanks to his mind-bending sound design that continues to evolve with every release.
Popping onto the scene in 2017, his merciless production style made him an immediate fan favorite amongst avid headbangers and true bass enthusiasts; the Paris-based virtuoso continues to make a lasting impression on the Monstercat faithful with the release of his menacing new offering “Love Me” which was fueled by the emotions of heartbreak.
Fresh off the release of his electrifying new single, we took the time to get to know Dr. Ushuu a little bit better!
