Rebel Scum
Rebel Scum is the recording name of Chase Golka — a Seattle-based producer and DJ working across drum and bass and dubstep. He grew up in Bothell, Washington, and attended Western Washington University in Bellingham. In 2022 he rebranded to focus on drum & bass and has released singles and remixes on labels including Monstercat. His Monstercat debut single is "Do Not Resist" (2023).
Background on Golka’s entry into the scene is sparse in public records. What is documented: the 2022 rebrand marked a clear shift toward DnB production, and since that change he has issued singles and remixes on independent labels (Monstercat among them). He has also toured in North America supporting REAPER, bringing his productions out as part of live shows and DJ performances.
Musical style (based on the available catalog and live appearances) sits at the intersection of drum and bass and dubstep. That translates into arrangements that move between DnB tempos and halftime/dubstep moments, and a production focus on low-frequency design. His records emphasize tight low-end layering and weight in the subs, with percussion that favors punchy, edited breaks and crisp transient shaping. Atmospheric pads and pitched vocal chops appear alongside metallic synth stabs and reverb-dried FX to create space in the mix — techniques common to both modern DnB rollers and heavier dubstep cuts.
As a producer, Rebel Scum’s concrete contributions are his singles and remixes released since the 2022 rebrand and his 2023 Monstercat debut "Do Not Resist." As a performing artist he has supported REAPER on a North American tour, translating studio productions into DJ sets and live moments. Publicly available credits list him primarily as producer and DJ rather than as an MC or instrumentalist.
Public information about his early influences and deeper discography beyond the Monstercat release is limited. Where credits and interviews exist they confirm the shift in 2022 and the 2023 Monstercat single; further release and collaboration details have not been widely published.
