Review: As one of the architectural groups behind the modern wave of dubstep music, seeing Truth return to their home imprint of Deep Dark & Dangerous for a full length album project is always going to be exciting! The project is simply outstanding, to put it plainly, covering the full breadth of the modern dubstep sound from the aquatic synthy sweeps of 'Pages' and subtle keys of 'Unlearn', to system busting sub-eese combinations of 'You'll See' and haunted structures of 'Transition' with the magnificent vocals of Lelijveld. It's a work of mastery and pure precision, with some additional highlights including the gorgeous, string-lead soundscapes of 'Something Missing', the constantly evolving growls of 'Love' and lip-curling melodies of 'Alethia'. Spectacular work!

Review: As one of the longest standing active outfits in dubstep music, it's always exciting to see new music landing from Truth, who have here delivered a stunning four track display. Focussing immediately on the title track 'Afterlife', we find ourselves washed in stunning soundscaping, subtle vocal processing and digital backdrops for a truly joyous introduction. Next, more blissful arrangements as 'Scarecrow' unleashes an eerie combination of chiming melody and fluttering percussion, next to the gnarly bass drives and slightly satanic vocal harmonies of 'Shire Dub', which again ups the energy levels. Finally, 'Lost In Time' gives us a serious ripper, focussing on minimal drum strikes and emphatic synth swipes, rounding off this project with a real dash of finesse.

Review: New Zealand trio Truth come up with a superlative contribution to one of the premiere dubstep labels, Deep Medi Musik. In the same vein as DMZ, Kryptic Minds et al, "Amnesia" is a half-stepping nightmare vision full of psychological twists, vintage film samples, ominous atmospherics and crackling SFX. Perfectly poised, it maintains the intrigue right until the end, unerring in approach. "International" on the other hand, kicks off with a more jovial tone, featuring rattling breaks, xylophone beats and curious jungle flavours, the rallying reggae sample calling out above the beats. A fantastic release and an essential for die hard dubstep fans.

Review: Truth are a dubstep-driven phenomenon, there's no getting away from it, both from within their work as Deep Dark & Dangerous, but also from a production point of view. That is why the great and good of the genre have joined together in celebrating the explosive group with a heavy-hitting remix collection, allowing a blissful collection to be assembled. When we say heavy hitting, we really mean it, with the likes of Cartridge, ENiGMA Dubz, Abstract Sonance, Kodama, Taiko, Biome and more all stepping forward, with a total of 32 remixes being included at the final count. Now, if you have 139 minutes, we would of course suggest taking in this masterpiece in its full majesty, but for a quick preview of the brilliance it includes, we would recommend quick peaks at Sukh Knight's explosive 'Shire Dub' rethink, both the sub-busting sweeps of Wraz.'s and the subtle beauty of Oxossi's 'Scarecrow' overhauls, and of course Boylan's gut puncher of a remix of 'Strange Dreams'. Exceptional work!

Review: Whether it's as a performer, a producer or a label head honcho, J:Kenzo has never done things by halves, so Artikal's debut long player was always going to be special. 15 exclusive cuts from the label's talented family and friends, this collection of contributions doesn't just document where bass music is at, but where it's heading. Each track is a highlight in itself, but it's cuts like the slinky hypnotic groove and cosmic congas of TMSV's "Scorpion", Sleeper's star-gazing, dub-drenched sub science of "Coxsone Dub", Skeptical's lesson minimalism and aggy restraint ("Skavenger") and Eshone's treacle-like dirge "Qualia" that really represent the depth, scope and vision of Artikal. Designed for the dance, arranged so well it works as an entire listening experience, Artikal don't do things by halves.

Review: Rewind: it's the summer of 2012 and Kiwi duo Truth make their Artikal debut with a weeping, mournful paranoia piece "Babylon London". It becomes a deep dubstep anthem of the season. Back to the future: Artikal founder J:Kenzo flips the vibe for a 172 jungle makeover. Maintaining the cries and soars of the original, but adding a whole new sense of energy and activity in the drums and basses, it's an exemplary lesson in contemporisation. Massive.

Review: Now this is a spicy link up indeed as the heavyweight production techniques of Truth are joined by the vocal innovation of PAV4N, delivering four spicy originals, courtesy of the stalwart Deep Dark & Dangerous imprint. First up, UK legend Saskilla stops by for a guest verse on 'Brave New World', sitting atop a murky undergrowth of sweating subs and crunchy snare swipes. After that killer introduction, we then take in the choppy drum switch-ups of 'Pythons', a synth heavy dazzler that again sees PAV4N impress, before Ashez throws some additional flare into the mix across the more scattered 'Online Overdose'. Finally, the lethal reese tweaks and industrious drum work of 'Pyrex Jackie' sees the EP out with one final subby smash.

Review: Brooklyn-based bass dealers Tuba blow their sub trumpet with a rich collection that spans their impressive history so far. Ranging from the meditative steps and jazz shimmers of Subreacher's "Future Target" to the techy breakbeats, sub-soaked steps and dreamy breakdown of D-Operation Drop's "Origami" via the ghostly, cavernous resonance of Below's self-title nightmare soundtrack, Tuba have curated a fine selection that represents their clear and confident contributions to the ever morphing and mutating dubstep sound. If you've not picked up on any of these yet, now is most certainly the time!

Review: Here, digital DJs get a rare chance to own a slew of previously vinyl-only plates from Mala's Medi Musik imprint. Deep Medi Releases 3 continues the format of its two predecessors, including cuts from 12" singles released in 2008 and 2009. For fans of good quality dubstep, it's well worth a look. While there's the odd intense dancefloor wobbler (Goth-Trad's busy "Saturn", Skream's "The Shinein"), there's also plenty of depth, melody and beauty amongst the trademark low-end pulse. Look out in particular for a pair of luscious, emotion-rich cuts from Quest, a pleasing bleep-fest from Truth, and Clouds' brilliantly far-sighted "Protecting Hands" - here available in two stunning mixes.

Review: As the year draws towards a swift finale, the Deep Dark & Dangerous crew have one more final bag of dubstep dynamite to bless us all with before we finish up. This project is a collection of official remixes, featuring the likes of dubstep heavyweights such as Truth, Kloudmen, ColtCuts, Dark Harmonics and many more. Overall as a project, it surfs across the entire spectrum really well, leaving no corner of the ever expanding genre unexplored. Highlights for us are without a doubt the haunted atmospheric vocals and syncopated keys that come with the two Sepia remixes of 'Regret' and 'Smoke', along with Leon Switch's ultra-metallic rework of Enochi's 'Nefarious'.

Review: New Zealand's Truth duo have appeared on pretty much every dubstep label that's worth being seen on these days. From Tempa to Deep Medi Muziq, they've clearly instilled a respect from their contemporaries, and they are arguably the leaders of Kiwi bass at the moment. Deep Dark & Dangerous is their own label, and "Devils Game" kicks off the imprint's third instalment with a furious wall of bass that blasts a monumental wave of chaos and doom the beats down below. "Smoke" is comparatively deeper and more gentle in its approach, and is guided by the r&b-style vocals of Animal, while Quest accompanies the darkroom stepper that the dup has preferred to dub as "Untitled". Nasty business.

Review: Truth steps up with two superlative half-stepping riddims on the Tempa imprint, which really put the dub back into dubstep. First up is the evocatively entitled "Dreams" featuring a gloriously enticing wailing vocal from Yayne in the intro. We are sucked into the main tune as if hypnotized by the warm, murmuring bassline and clip clop beats and bubbling SFX. "Last Time" continues in a similarly dark and mysterious vein, but with more snapping snares, clipped sounds, rolling atmospherics and an insistent drive throughout the track. Utterly excellent from start to finish.

Review: Champion of dark, tough and considered dubstep, Distance provides the latest instalment in the much loved Dubstep Allstars mix series. It's fairly typical fare from the Chestplate boss man, with tough steady rhythms underpinned by that particularly distorted kind of bassline. There are a number of highlights, most notably Commodo's "Surveillance" which has a rolling break woven into the mix. Cyrus' "Looking Back" also impresses as it purrs away with a gorgeously warm, rich synth line. The biggest surprise is probably Distance's own remix of trance bods Above & Beyond. It's certainly as 'big room' as you'd ever imagine Distance getting!

Review: Mala's Deep Medi Musik imprint hasn't put a foot wrong in 2011 with some weighty relentless steppahs from VIVEK and Tunnidge getting the collective thumbs up from the Juno review staff. The label maintains the momentum here - finally unleashing the VIP version of Truth's 09 pressure "Fatman"! Fatalist dread vibes abound though it's the crushing weight of the sub bass that truly captivate. Truth complements this update with "Dreams Never Come True" which churns through heavily chopped machine rhythms and left of centre sampledelica with dizzying ease - making for a track that is probably difficult to dance to, but easy to appreciate!

Review: An all-star lineup is an understatement here as some of the best in dubstep team up on Deep Dark & Dangerous for an absolute corker entitled 'Freak Show'. Long term genre favourite: Youngsta pulls together with the ever-creative sounds of Truth and a breath of fresh air from Stylust, resulting in a whirlwind of demonic melodies, colossal drum designs and writhing bass patterns, making this a real monster you can expect to hear at festivals and in clubs all around the country.
