After seven years as a trio, Ternion Sound will disband at the end of 2025.
The Minneapolis-based dubstep group of Jack Denney, Aric Okerman and Andrew Hill announced the decision in a statement posted to social media today, citing the birth of Hill’s first child, expected to arrive in March, among other factors, as the reason for the split.
“From the onset, we created Ternion Sound for specific reasons and we’ve tried to stay true to those the whole time: Playing on sound systems that honor the music, integrity in how we portray ourselves, education, sustainability, and freedom to explore compositionally inside of bass music,” the group wrote.
“Hopefully we’ve represented those ideals with our project and we hope to have inspired others to do the same,” their statement continued.
The group also announced that before heading in different directions, they’ll give Ternion Sound a proper send-off with an official farewell tour. Though the farewell run is still in the early planning stages, the band shared that they’ve already communicated with a few of their favorite promoters. Tour dates and venues will be announced in the coming weeks.
“We want to come out and play a lot this year to say goodbye and thanks for the support,” Ternion Sound wrote.
The groups’s origin story begins in 2016, when they linked up for an impromptu B2B set at Minnesota’s heralded Infrasound Festival.
Like the festival where they met, Ternion Sound has built an esteemed reputation for their blend of UK-aligned 140BPM dubstep and experimental bass across numerous releases on venerated dubstep labels like Deep Dark & Dangerous and VISION Recordings, as well as a uniquely explicit focus on sound system culture and acoustics in their live performances.
Their debut album, Digital Artifice, arrived on VISION in October 2023, packed with 26 sub-bass bangers and showcasing the full breadth of their work.
