Bay Area native melds his bass music roots and his hard rap parallel life for the first EP of his new trilogy, featuring rap collabs with SXMPRA, Dead Hippie, South Strip, and Shakewell.
Getter cements his long-awaited return to bass music with ‘DOOM,’ a five-track statement piece marking his debut on Bassrush Records. Out January 30th, his new body of work opens the first chapter of a planned trilogy–one that fuses the brute force of his early dubstep roots with the grit and irreverence of his rap alter ego, Terror Reid.

Introducing the project in his own words, Getter says, “‘Doom’ is the start of a trilogy I’ve been working on this year. It brings together the bass sounds I’m known for with the rappers and energy that have always inspired me. This project sets the tone for where the whole series is headed.”
The EP sets a new benchmark for Getter’s cross-genre storytelling. The lead track “STAB UP” with LA rapper Shakewell functions as the manifesto, pairing punishing low-end pressure with syrup-thick hip-hop swagger. Shakewell’s sharp, flippant bars slice through a haze of 808s and metallic synths, bending seamlessly between trap, bass, and rap. The chemistry is immediate, channeling the unfiltered chaos of their shared creative DNA.
“BORN 2 STUNT” with SXMPRA lands as the EP’s most feral offering. Distorted trap drums and warped low-end form the backbone for a high-pitched, hyperactive vocal performance from the New Zealand rapper. Beneath the bravado, a darker undercurrent simmers as Getter’s sound design mutates into a modern evolution of his early wub-driven style.
On “EGO TORTURE,” Getter dials back the tempo without sacrificing weight. South Strip’s menacing cadence rides a creeping, coiled beat that moves with deliberate restraint—until a guttural vocal command, “SHUT THE F**K UP,” snaps the track into freefall. The back half collapses into dubstep chaos, unraveling into a dense spiral of pitched wobbles and subterranean bass that feels equal parts hypnotic and oppressive.
“SKULLY” with Dead Hippie cuts the deepest. It’s a distorted, dirge-like trap record that finds poetry in abrasion. Dead Hippie’s fierce delivery anchors the verses with a somber intensity as Getter sculpts a beat that growls like a muffled chainsaw. Midway through, the track fractures into pure anarchy: industrial noise, clipped percussion, and overwhelming sub-bass colliding in a brutal closing act.
At the project’s center sits “PILLZZ,” a solo statement that distills everything defining Getter’s current sound. No features, no distractions—just precision-engineered drums, metallic wobbles, and ironclad basslines. Each phrase escalates the tension, culminating in a final four-on-the-floor drop laced with glitchy, metallic stabs that push beyond structure into raw momentum.
‘DOOM’ began as an experiment in fusion, an attempt to reconnect with the chaotic heaviness that first pulled Getter into production while threading in the rhythmic aggression of the hip-hop world he’s long occupied. The EP anchors the trilogy, which will continue across two imminent parts: a heavier, collaboration-driven follow-up and a melodic, vocal-driven finale.
The ‘DOOM’ EP arrives alongside a limited run of cassette tapes—a tactile nod to Getter’s underground ethos and the analog imperfection that has always fueled his aesthetic. Getter supports the release with a run of major festival appearances, including EDC Mexico, Forbidden Kingdom, Beyond Wonderland PNW, and more on the horizon.
After several years of artistic recalibration, Getter’s return to bass music feels both inevitable and essential. With ‘DOOM,’ he sets the tone for a bold new era—one that collapses genre boundaries and reasserts exactly why his name remains synonymous with evolution.
Getter’s new EP ‘DOOM’ is available on all platforms via Bassrush Records.
