w/ Special Guests
VCTRE
Exploding onto the scene with rich textures and unparalleled production prowess is VCTRE. This budding beat-maker is raising the bar one track at a time. In a twist of fate, his fourth-grade drum-kit would eventually morph his love for music into an obsession with how it is made. An obsession that would eventually lead to a fresh and exciting perspective on bass music.
Inspired by a variety of genres, VCTRE blends his musical influences with precision and fluidity. His goal is simple; to be in a position where he can succeed, and help his peers succeed alongside him. With this goal in mind, Pugh prioritizes creating timeless and emotive music that captures the listener from beginning to end.
Often cathartic and progressive, the VCTRE sound has earned raving reviews from music publications like Electric Hawk, while gaining support from artists such as Eprom, Mr. Bill, and CharlestheFirst. He’s released music with labels such as VALE, The Rust, Bassrush, and Slug Wife, and he’s performed at major festivals like Okeechobee and The Untz.
VCTRE releases new music through his Bandcamp subscription every month. Through his side project, Integrate, Pugh stays busy exploring different styles of production with Black Carl!. So the question is…what’s next?
