Ready to hit it? New Orleans' fastest-rising bass crew sfam are back on DDD with Down the Bayou - an EP so murky, menacing and swampy - it makes deranged, mutant, meth-fuelled alligators seem like a placid pack of chihuahuas in bowties on the way to an Enya concert.

Production prowess is met with mixdown mastery and sound design straight out the Bayou's swampy marshlands. Collabs with KTRL and Bawldy deliver extra spice to an already red hot release. Come get twisted inside out with sfam on Down the Bayou. you may well regret it, but don't say you weren't warned.

CONTRA - Big Skank / Six Four (DDD183) Following the runaway success of his debut DDD two-tracker last year, resident dubstep slapper CONTRA is back on DDD with a vengeance, delivering another double helping of bass badness: Big Skank / Six Four. Where Shantique / Double exercised musicality, left-field wonk and world-music flavours, these two tunes are all about sub punishment, synth savagery and pure dancefloor energy. We're not sure there's a skank big enough to do Big Skank justice, and with Six Four it's humanly impossible not to pull the biggest stink face as its drop knocks you senseless. Make sure you catch CONTRA on his Roots Revival Tour with fellow DDD badman Abstrakt Sonance, as they traverse the US and Canada over the next couple of months. With these two tunes in CONTRA's arsenal, it's less about Roots Revival and more about Roots Survival.

Wraz. is a man on a mission. Not only has the Montreal native cemented his place as one of the most talented producers in the dubstep scene, but his incredible work ethic, energy, and passion-matched by his undeniable talent-mean his ascension is quite simply inevitable. DDD has been proud to play our part in his career journey, and things are taking another step forward with the phenomenal album Rites. A tour de force of audio sorcery, savagery, and sacrilege, Rites subjects the listener to Wraz.' trademark mix of filthy 140 dubstep, thumping trap flavours, and industrial grittiness. This is expertly melded with stunning, captivating, suspense-filled interludes that provide counterpoints to the bass punishment in ways that are both tension inducing, yet beautiful. Featuring collaborations with label bossmen Truth and DDD favourite Hypho, Wraz.' sonic understanding of his craft feels unparalleled throughout. Each track brings its own unique flavour, while sitting together as a body of work with remarkable cohesion. As the first DDD vinyl drop of 2026-alongside its full digital release-Rites marks a seismic moment for both Wraz. and the 140 scene. Wraz. is putting the world to Rites, while we're living in his universe. Essential listening.

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.

Following his debut standalone DDD single in 2025, now is the year in which we ask you to submit to the force of Breathworkz' beats for his debut DDD EP - Surrender. Cementing his place as one of the US' most prodigious production talents coming through the North American scene - Surrender EP demands precedence, and it's not going to ask politely. Across the four tunes, Breathworkz penchant for brooding, sultry, sub-drenched beats is in overdrive - as desert-like soundscapes are matched with crisp beats and Asian influenced melodic inflections - stifling, suffocating but ultimately satisfying. Originating from Florida's vibrant underground scene via Denver, Surrender EP proves that this is a producer carving his own path in the deepest, darkest and most dangerous 140 dubstep tradition. Ready to Surrender? Breathworkz' EP is about to leave you breathless. Don't disobey.
