Too Far Gone presents: Carré + Formosa
UK dubstep artist Carré (Tempa/SPE:C) headlines a night of bass music with Pittsburgh's Formosa (Jellyfish) at SideQuest on 44th.
We’re back.. This time around with a bass-laden soiree at SideQuest ( @sidequestpgh ), the basement space with a soundsystem rig well suited for the low-end freq’s, and two selectors who have long been on our radar:

Carré is one of the leading figureheads in an international cohort of female, queer and non-binary producers pushing deep dubstep - alongside Too Far Gone favorites EMA, Darwin, Introspekt, Beatrice M and the Queer Steppa don, CCL - representing a refreshing shift in a genre that has long been heavily male-dominated, opening up a more inclusive space while also pushing a sound whose deep and meditative qualities speak to the dub part of dubstep.
UK dubstep’s lineage is the backbone of Carré’s sound where she balances a fine mix of sensual low-end rollers, percussive left-field techno, chrome-plated dubstep, and wonky drum workouts.
She has graced imprints like SPE:C, Bait, Woozy, and the formative dubstep imprint, Tempa ( @tempa.ltd ). Her latest string of EPs, Hibiscus + Citrine, highlight spacious rollers with US rap-meets-dubstep crossover - making it clear that she’s thoroughly comfortable weaving her own stew of influences into the modern bass music recipe.
With the dubstep baton finally passing to a new guard, Carré has cemented her role as one of its torchbearers.

Formosa (aka Steph Tsong) is a multi-disciplinary Taiwanese-American DJ, artist, designer and co-founder of Jellyfish ( @jellyfishpgh ),a long-running queer and trans-centered dance party based in Pittsburgh - known for its vibrant vibe curation, inclusive ethos, and a wide-range of eclectic sonic spectrums.
Outside from being one half of the city’s most in-demand party collective, Steph is a champion of the PGH dance underground - always willing to dot-connect, share knowledge or nerd out on her impeccable/extensive musical taste. Very lucky to have Formosa join us for opening duties where she will take us into the breakbeat-heavy depths of her sonic palette.
Advance tickets are available now via RA (with limited Early Bird pricing) - check link in bio
