Combining system shattering futuristic beats with dystopian cerebral wordplay, PAV4N and Truth join forces on one of the biggest collab releases of the year with Brave New World EP - released on Truth's own imprint, Deep, Dark & Dangerous. Across four dynamic tracks, the Foreign Beggars don MC spits fire questioning existential threats to humanity's community spirit, ranging from AI, the hunt for instant gratification and war, permeating Truth's sub flexing synth-heavy productions. The eponymous title track starts as the EP means to go on, with the intro hook chanting 'while awake we're still in the dreamstate' over arpeggiated synths as UK hip hop meets atmospheric deep dubstep, with one of grime's hottest properties Saskilla switching in for a killer verse. Future punk banger Pythons comes in swinging next, with raw techno influences before the 140 drop slaps with PAV4N losing his shit as he fights a pit of serpents. Track three is the ice cold, eerie and razor sharp Online Overdose, as PAV4N dismantles our digital native trend-chasing society with additional production courtesy of New Zealand's fast-rising bass wizard Ashez. We go back to the future with the storming EP closer Pyrex Jackie, as 90s UK rave influences meld with intense dubstep for a weapon that is gonna go off wherever its loaded - with PAV4N's final firing shot 'sound the horn sound the siren, let the truth shake the silence, emancipate the violence'.

Exploding like a tsunami from the depths of the ocean, Leviathan is the latest sub-shattering track from New Zealand's global bass behemoths, TRUTH. Released on their own Deep, Dark & Dangerous imprint, the track is the duo's most powerful dubstep banger to date, an iconic encapsulation of what the label stands for and an ode to the mythical sea-beast itself. Lulling you into a false sense of security with a tranquil yet slightly menacing melodic motif, the Leviathan comes out of nowhere - set to destroy all in its path. Scatty hats and auxiliary percussion encapsulate the choppy waters after the attack, as the deep bass continues to rumble. Maybe have a think next time you're considering going out to sea? Don't say you weren't warned.

There can be no doubt about it, when it comes to making speakers move, Leo Cap is something of a scientist; lurking around the Deep, Dark & Dangerous realms. Following a number of EPs and track features on DDD, 'Underground Business' is his debut full-length album. 11 slices of audio genius, the kind of tracks that make you question your very sanity when they drop. Leo Cap's style is well represented across this release, and as an album is the perfect showcase of his sound. One which is known for pushing the physical boundaries to which you can exert sound systems and speakers. Literally pushing insane amounts of air when these basslines drop. The album tells the story of Leo Cap the artist, creating beautiful things only to destroy and break them. Not only is the music a parallel for his life, it is also a form of armour, pieces collected from here and there. A protection from a paranoid existence in the dark and murky underground. This music is his kind of Undergound Business, 'it's really deep, it's really dark and it's really f**king dangerous man'. All the demons, all the darkness, and also all the fun. But there are no mistakes, this is how things are meant to be, life is is both dark and light, with music as it's abstraction. You can turn on the music and feel these things, this is real, this is Underground Business.

Strap in for another extra-terrestrial excursion as Shlump makes his much anticipated return to Deep, Dark & Dangerous following up the extremely successful Flying Saucer, Shaolin Shadowboxing and of course Alien Technology. Prepare to be sucked into the bass vortex with 'Zero Gravity', his brand new single. For this track you're going to want to stand front and centre before a massive bass-stack as the low end will literally suck the gravity out of the room, leaving you floating in a galaxy of interstellar bass waves. But beware, systems on full alert. because the tune's ridiculous second drop is about to slam you back down to Earth. Bass pressure levels are up, this track goes hard!
