Belgian bass lord Substrada may well hold claim to be the most disgusting producer in the underground dubstep scene. His tunes are grotty, grimey and damn well grotesque - and the stench of filth is no stronger smelt than this monstrous two tracker: Vandalblast / Ruffa (ft. Kyber). Two tracks that ooze freakish hideousness - pairing up with Kyber on Ruffa, that may well be 2026's most disgusting drop. Come experience the grot - Substrada's serving it up.
q100, OZ & FLO return to Infernal Sounds with a monumental follow-up to their debut Cruiser EP. The trio continue to carve their own lane, fusing dubstep pressure with techno precision on the uncompromising Worker Bee EP. The title track 'Worker Bee' sets the tone immediately, with T-Man's commanding vocal riding a heavyweight groove built to lock you in and not let go. 'Plasmatic' twists the energy further, launching into a cold, kaleidoscopic run of descending bass and stark, mechanical tension. 'Sink Hole' dives even deeper; a ruthless cut driven by slicing mid-range FX and tightly engineered sound design that pulls you straight into the void. 'Source Code' flips the script with a funkier, swaggering bassline, injecting groove without losing the grit, before the instrumental of 'Worker Bee' strips things back to showcase the precision and power at the core of the EP. Two remixes of 'Plasmatic' close it out in style: Ninety delivers a warped, surreal reimagining, while Katch brings a raw, cut-throat refix that hits with pure intent. This is 140 done right! Focused, forward-thinking, and built for sound systems. Worker Bee is a statement release that proves q100, OZ & FLO are operating at the sharp end of the spectrum.
Lyon based dubstep/uk gararge/techno wizard drops six pieces of his sub heavy heat on Nerve Collect. Featuring collaborations with grime's latest MC talent, Capo Lee from North London and rising name in the French UK garage scene blending infectious grooves with high-energy, bass-driven productions.
Our favourite LA-based Brazilian madman and all round bass music connoisseur, Oxossi, is back on DDD - this time ready to lay down the law and release his manifesto for counter culture in EP format, with the cheerily puntastic 'LAPDepression'. Don't get it bent, this EP is more psychologically testing than a 24 hour interrogation from Carrie Mathison - yet there is so much musical depth, with organic and authentic instrumentation running throughout - with Arabesque touches a recurring theme. With opener Return's off-kilter syncopated and time signature bending guitar riff, you could be fooled that you were listening to Tool, yet on the title track you are entering full snake charmer mode - before the haunting interlude leads you into the police holding cell of Fly On the Wall ahead of System Error - which slaps you senseless as the EP reaches its finale. Ready to take a trip to a pit of snakes infested with rabid dogs? LAPDepression is a one way street of musically rich, mental torture. Respect Oxossi's badge - he's reinventing what it means to fight crime. This one's revolutionary.
q100, OZ & FLO plunge to their darkest point on Sink Hole, a ruthless, high-pressure cut that drags you straight into unstable territory. Built around a hostile core of razor-sharp mid-range and tightly controlled low-end, the track moves with coiled tension, warped textures, and an unrelenting forward drive. Cold, claustrophobic, and surgically precise, Sink Hole is engineered for maximum impact, a system-ready weapon designed for late-night pressure and total control.
UK titan ENiGMA Dubz is back on DDD with another gigantic tune - 'Goliath'. Set to crush any rave in its path, Goliath's mass and stature is clear from the outset - as ENiGMA's trademark ethereal soundscapes are quickly overcome by an early claim to 2026's most destructive bass synth, reigning chaos when it drops. Like a giant stomping around the wilderness - the thunderous percussion will shake any soundsystem to its foundations - pounding relentlessly, with an infectious continuous groove - all with an exquisite mixdown we come to expect, from a producer of ENiGMA's technical prowess. Wanna face Goliath in the rave? Ravers vs Goliath is initiated. Bring your slingshots.
q100, OZ & FLO return to Infernal Sounds with Worker Bee, a heavyweight statement cut that displays their trademark sound into pure system pressure. Featuring the unmistakable voice of T-Man, the track lands with immediate authority, his commanding vocal cutting through a tightly wound, industrial groove driven by weighty low end and sharp rhythmic detail. Cold, focused, and uncompromising, Worker Bee balances raw power with technical finesse, built for dark rooms and heavy rigs - a track that leaves no doubt about the intent behind it.
Noer the Boy is going fully feral with DDD's first EP release of 2026, 'Off Leash'. Featuring four tunes as rabid as rabies infested stray dogs on acid, this EP has bite, bile and a whole lot of fuck you attitude you come to expect with Noer's productions. Ranging from Kushan Strike's savage synths, to the relentless energy of And Again - featuring the legendary Foreign Beggars MC, PAV4N - to the quirky off kilter intensity of single No Name Dub - the EP is a tour de force of bass weight and percussion that will slap you senseless. Title track Off Leash offers a more abstract perspective to close things - with its moody sub low, uncomfortable atmospheres and oppressive sound designs leaving you feeling disorientated as you lay on the floor after the attack of the first three tunes. 'Off Leash' proves Noer's not playing by conventional rules - he's on the loose and unleashed these tunes to run wild in the rave, attacking any system in sight.
Having made a name for himself in the dubstep scene with a handful of exciting releases on labels including Infernal Sounds and Sublock, Korode debuts on Mode Recordings offering 3 tracks of aggressive, chest-rattling bassweight with Evidence EP. Aptly named, this release is evidence of Korodes sound design and production prowess- from the immediate sub-bass impact on the title track, to the shuffling grooves of Distinct, and the grittier textures found on the relentless final track Cryogen.
Following their debut earlier this year, the enigmatic duo Soundboy Dead step up to bat for Dub-Stuy with Soundclash Story, a fierce tribute to the art of clashing featuring UK veteran vocalist Don Cotti. The title track captures the heat of the dance, Cotti at the mic delivering a vivid tale of dubplate warfare over a menacing steppers riddim built for the battlefield. On the flip, Soundclash Dub pushes the pressure even deeper, with a stripped down, FX-laden version that will test the heaviest rigs. Following their explosive debut EP for Dubquake, Soundboy Dead continue their mission of crafting uncompromising dub music rooted in sound system culture. Pure energy. No gimmicks.
Dimond Saints x Parasox – Say What A searing collaboration between bass alchemists Dimond Saints and rising force Parasox, Say What is a Acid-tinged monster built to shake foundations. Dripping in grit and spatial tension, the track slithers through shadow and light — hypnotic, raw, and unrelenting. This is bass music done right: a precision-forged blend of weight, texture, and restraint. Minimalism collides with maximal impact, proving once again that what you dont say hits just as hard. Fresh off the release of their brooding album Broken Mirrors, Dimond Saints continue to push boundaries with every drop.

Vibra Vibra is a new series by Sha Ru, a duo perpetually in nomadic motion, renowned for their deft blend of spoken word and bass-heavy electronics. The release explores musics physical properties, emphasizing low frequencies and their effects on the body and surrounding space. Low-end sound acts as pressure waves, creating resonance in specific body regions and framing music as vibration interacting with matter. Vibra Vibra examines how different bass frequencies produce distinct physical responses: 50-60Hz compresses the chest, 20-40Hz resonates in the abdomen and legs, and 60-100Hz generates cranial buzzing. Each track studies these zones, presenting bass as a tangible force shaping both bodily perception and the club environment.
