YetepIf you’ve been feeling the ground shake lately, it’s probably Distinct Motive dropping his latest EP, Hypnotize. Known for his deep, dark, and minimal style, this Toronto-based dubstep producer is one of the fastest-rising names in the scene. Hypnotize is a masterclass in flow—Distinct Motive doesn’t just focus on heavy drops, he builds entire journeys between them, pulling listeners into a hypnotic swirl of deep wubs and razor-sharp transitions. Drawing influence from the early 140 BPM roots of dubstep, his sound brings old-school energy with modern production precision. His live sets are something else entirely—packed with raw energy, deep cuts, and a passion for bass that pulls the crowd into his world. Hypnotize proves it’s time the rest of the world took notice of Distinct Motive for the influence he continues to have on dubstep. He has repopularized the old school dubstep sound in a way that reaches out to new audiences and is collaborating with some of the biggest in dubstep like Subtronics and Tape B.
Distinct Motive’s latest release, Hypnotized released on the iconic Deep Medi Musik label, marking a major milestone as his debut on the imprint. Featuring four tracks, the EP is a deep, weighty journey through minimal, 140 BPM dubstep that showcases Distinct Motive’s signature ability to create tension and flow between drops rather than relying solely on impact and loud speakers. Featuring artwork by M7 Grafikz, the project stands out not just for its sonic pressure but also for its polish and presentation. Already praised by fans and other producers, the EP blends old-school dubstep roots with modern production clarity. With vinyl on the way and digital formats already available, Hypnotize is a must-listen for any fan of deep, immersive low-end music.
