Where Victoria’s underground
comes alive.

We can think of no better way to celebrate 9 years of Dubversified Culture than this transatlantic union with grime MC Grim Sickers, an artist who has walked every corner of underground UK rap with grit and vision.What began as a passion for bringing people together on dancefloors has evolved into a record label dedicated to championing emerging artists and creating opportunities for producers in our community and beyond. Dubversified Culture has had the privilege of releasing music from talented local and international artists, with the goal of helping them grow into established names in the underground bass music scene.

Broken System: is a transatlantic collaboration between Mirage Musique (Victoria, BC) and 96 INK (Cardiff, Wales), born out of shared frustration with systems designed to keep people stuck, controlled, and disconnected from their purpose.

At its core, the track captures that moment of realization—when you see the structure for what it is.

SHAPESHIFTA is a multi-dimensional bass record that blurs the lines between Big Room Trap, Dubstep, and Grime. Driven by Mirage’s signature low-end pressure, the track evolves through shifting rhythms, cinematic tension, and hard-edged vocal cuts from Akashah and Hey It’s Pablo.

Each section hits with intent—moving from explosive drops to stripped-back moments that keep the energy unpredictable. It’s a tune rooted in underground club culture, built for late-night systems where genre boundaries don’t matter—only impact does.

A true shapeshifter—adaptable, heavy, and unapologetically forward-facing.
