When we asked Copenhagen-based producer CHLLNGR (AKA Steve Borth) for an interview, he invited us to join him for a crate digging session at Deadly Dragon Sound, a tiny record store in Manhattan’s Chinatown. It was the perfect setting to get to know the unassuming electronic artist who is making waves with his shadowy, dub-influenced soundscapes.

We discovered Borth is a passionate fan of old-school dub and rocksteady tunes. He even started a reggae band band called Satori before taking on CHLLNGR. Read our exclusive profile on him to get the full story.
