Bear Grillz

2 upcoming festivals

Bear-costumed producer whose gimmick outlasted the joke because the tracks hold up — heavyweight dubstep and riddim with genuine pit credentials.

Bear Grillz is an American dubstep and riddim producer who performs in a full bear costume, an anonymity gimmick maintained for years before the identity behind it became public. The productions sit at the heavier end of bass music: mid-tempo riddim patterns, distorted growling basslines and abrupt drops built for large soundsystems.

He has been a fixture of the North American bass circuit, releasing through labels associated with that scene and collaborating widely with other producers and vocalists working in dubstep.
