Flinch
Flinch is the stage name of Los Angeles-based producer and DJ Adam Glassco, who built his reputation moving from drum and bass and electro roots into deeper, more melodic synth-based dubstep sets. His DJ approach blends heavy, tear-out basslines with strong melodic lines, and his catalogue extends into jump-up, UK funky, club, moombahton, techno and garage, giving his live sets a wider palette than straight dubstep alone. He has released through SMOG and Trouble & Bass Records, labels closely tied to the bass-music scene he has worked in throughout his career. His track World On Fire became a calling card behind the decks, drawing championing support from Skrillex, 12th Planet and Datsik, three of dubstep's most prominent DJs, and helping cement Flinch's standing within that circle. Described as a veteran producer within the bass community, he has continued to combine grit and distortion with catchy songwriting in both his productions and his sets, a pairing that has kept him relevant across shifting trends within dubstep and adjacent bass genres over an extended career on the American club and festival circuit.
