Josh Gard, performing as Figure, is a pivotal figure in the 'brostep' and 'drumstep' movements of the early 2010s, distinguished by his unique 'Horrorstep' niche. Based in the US, he transitioned from electro-house to a much heavier, distorted sound that prioritizes aggressive mid-range synthesis and cinematic sampling.
His career is most notably defined by his annual 'Monsters' series, which has become a seasonal staple in the bass music community. Culturally, he occupies a space between the mainstream EDM festival circuit and the darker, industrial-leaning underground. His production is characterized by high-pressure compression, 'chainsaw' bass textures, and a relentless 140-175 BPM energy. Critically, he is respected for his technical proficiency in live performance and his ability to maintain a consistent thematic brand across over a decade of releases. He has influenced a generation of 'heavy' bass producers who utilize narrative and thematic concepts to differentiate their sound in a crowded digital landscape.
