Shiverz, the moniker of Jake O’Neill, isn’t just a DJ; he's an architect of sonic demolition. Emerging from the UK’s burgeoning dubstep scene, Shiverz rapidly carved out a distinct identity with his relentlessly aggressive and unforgiving brand of riddim. Forget melodic subtleties; Shiverz deals in raw, guttural basslines and intricately layered percussive assaults that send shockwaves through any sound system. His music draws heavily from the heavier corners of dubstep, incorporating elements of deathstep and tearout, creating an undeniably brutal and high-energy listening experience. Shiverz’s trajectory ascended quickly through relentless touring and a prolific output of EPs and singles on labels such as Disciple Round Table and Never Say Die: Black Label. His breakthrough came with tracks like "Sasquatch" and collaborations with artists like Infekt and Samplifire, cementing his status as a leading figure in the heavier side of dubstep. Shiverz’s impact isn’t just confined to the music; his uncompromising approach to sound design and his commitment to delivering a physically intense live experience have resonated with a generation seeking unadulterated sonic chaos. He continues to push the boundaries of riddim, constantly experimenting with new sounds and textures while remaining true to his signature bone-crushing aesthetic. Recent projects see Shiverz exploring more complex rhythmic patterns while maintaining the signature aggressive energy that defines his sound.
