Deep Dark & Dangerous
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!

Abstrakt Sonance, ColtCuts & Rider Shafique - "From Birth" (feat Confusious - original mix) - (3:46) 140 BPM
Review: As always with a brand new Deep Dark & Dangerous compilation drop, the team are on absolute fire as they summon the great and good of the dubstep scene together for a frankly outstanding original collection. Celebrating their 100th official release, they impressed with the team sheet from the jump, inviting the likes of Truth, Youngsta, NType, Hypho, Cartridge, Oxossi and a bag of more heavyweight headliners to match. The whole project is stacked, featuring 24 rave-inspired sizzlers, giving us the grittiest and gnarliest of what dubstep has to offer in 2022. For us, despite the overall quality level of this collection being so high, we would point out a few absolute monsters as our highlights, with the horn-driven clunks and warbling LFO switches of 'Mecha' from The Widdler & ColtCuts immediately jumping out, next to the dungeon-ready percussion of Roklem & Sebalo's 'Inner Turmoil' and the eerie melodic mastery of Leon Switch & Widow's 'Fallen Angels'.

Review: The Deep Dark & Dangerous team really do have a top knack for spotting and crafting high end releases, with this brand new 'Ishtar' album from Abstrakt Sonance being yet another winner. Featuring 17 incredible originals, it's a masterpiece of 140 themes and dubstep influences, from the grizzling reeses of 'Mindstate' and subtle sitar slides of 'From Wallah With Love' to the percussive brilliance of 'Beautiful Time To Be Alive' and system ready sub-marches of 'Deep In The Jungle'. There's just so much to enjoy throughout the project, including some high end collaborations, which sees the likes of D Double E, Killa P, Long Range, Crowell, Vandull and EniGMA Dubz all get involved with top quality contributions.

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: There's no denying that Leo Cap has been on an absolute tear over the course of the last two years, with this, his brand new album on Deep Dark & Dangerous, being a perfect showcase of how far his sound has come. Leaping left, right and centre across the full spectrum of dubstep ideals, Leo has cultivated a truly magnificent collection, from the aquatic sub work of 'Don't Move' and mind-bending sub sweeps of 'Underground Business', to the sub-busting bass marches of 'Step Off' and more rhythm-inspired percussion of 'Music That You Like'. It's a truly top quality collection, with our individual highlights including the super-abstract bass designs and vocal sampling of 'No Matter How Far', next to the pulsating bass warbles of 'Same Different' and raucous LFO designs of Manchesta Dem Boy'. What a collection!

Review: Following on from last week's release of 'Deep', the Deep Dark & Dangerous crew continue their 'Trilogy' series with the second edition: 'Dark'. They have again assembled one heck of a line up for this one, welcoming in the sounds of Enigma Dubz, Leon Switch, Khiva and Pushloop just for starters. The project is a perfect encapsulation of the darker side of the DD&D discography, with a couple of immediate standouts being 'The Devil In Disguise', which sees JLEON and Outsider link up for an incredibly spooky harmonic thrill ride, alongside Brassic's 'Footsoldier', which deploys a regiment of lethal horn stabs to turn any rave into a ruckus!

Review: The Deep Dark and Dangerous imprint has been one of the most notable movements within deep dubstep's recent resurgence, having consistently supplied the underground scene with original ideas and themes. With the LA based label's latest project we see them team up with dubstep heavyweights Truth & DJ Youngsta for the debut 'Shadow People' album. Being over three years in the making, it is, as expected, brilliant. Our stand out picks would have to be the eerie yet satisfying soundscaping of 'Deeper' featuring Spikey Tee, the absolutely chilling sub bass pressure of 'Awake Before You' and of course the eastern inspired embarkation of 'Eyes On Me' featuring stunning vocal additions from Rosa. This one is a serious must have for any dubstep fanatic.

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: It's always a good thing to see a new drop from the Deep Dark & Dangerous team, who continue to push the dubstep sound further forward at every turn. Today however, we see them jump sideways into the arena of grime with this titanic display of 140 flavour from Onhell, showcasing some serious heat. From the intense bass pulses of 'Holy Death' to the dissonant piano swipes of 'Piano Worship' and metallic synth grinds of 'The Rake It Up Riddim', we see a full spectrum of 140 music explored with this vibrant album drop. There are a lot of high points, with our personal favourites including the intense acidic melodies of 'Tepito Mercado', the super choppy rhythmic switch ups of 'Eat You' and the pulsating collaborative synergy of 'Vandals' alongside Fracture.

Review: It is genuinely very difficult to keep pace with everything that the Deep Dark & Dangerous team have been up to, following on from three mega compilations and an awesome release last week, they return to business with another weighty selection from ONHELL. He delivers a monstrous EP for us all to enjoy, featuring eleven original subby rollers under the title 'Grime Beats Vol. 1'. We can most certainly hear the grimey influences rolling through, from the grizzly square leads of 'Airplane Beat', to the trappy rhythms of 'Cold Bitch Type Beat'. The project is a mighty success, with favourites including the swampy textures of 'Wolf And The Cub' and of course the speaker busting basslines of '21X Riddim'. Awesome work!

Review: Part three is upon us as Deep Dark & Dangerous unveil the final piece of the puzzle in their latest release line with 'Dangerous', showcasing the most rawcus sounds on their roster. The line up for this one is sublime, with heavyweight names such as CITY1, Ternion Sound, Lost, Dank Frank, DayZero and SubDocta all being drafted in to showcase their unique skill sets. The project as a whole bleeds creativity and musical innovation, with particular points of interest coming in DMVU's incredibly swampy 'Dem Fi Kno' original, which unleashes a wash of pungent synthesizer sweeps and impactful percussive inputs, alongside the unpredictable electronic brilliance of 'Arc' from Computerbeats. This compilation series has been truly magnificent to take in and is a real testament to the DD&D commitment to pushing dubstep forward.

Review: Whenever Deep Dark and Dangerous unravel the LP red carpet, they don't seem to miss, this time welcoming the enigmatic Widow inside for seven sumptuous delights. We open up with Rider Shafique's cameo, giving us a dreamy vocal display atop 'Shadow Work', a sub-slamming sweep through distant strings and hard hitting bass action, followed by the reversed, eastern-inspired melodics of 'Flow State' and cluttered percussive crescendos of 'Dangerous'. A heavy pot of syncopation then appears as 'Alien Life Form' sends us into a trippy steppers daze, with the subtle jungle rhythms of 'Frequencies' and emotive melodic grooves of 'Devil Dancing' alongside Mac in close pursuit. Finally, 'Child Of Darkness' gives us a final thump of sub-driven goodness, closing out a miraculous arrangement with some real finesse.

Review: The Deep Dark & Dangerous team have a real ear for explosive 140 creations, with this latest drop being the most recent in a long line of destructive collections. They welcome Roadsbeef inside to explore six system-ready sub-busters, with 'Say My Name' alongside MC Jumanji being a potent introduction indeed, doused in intense lyricism and some seriously grizzly LFO action. Next, 'Pippi In Dubland' sees us explore a much more dubwise design, focussing on minimal subs and sweeping synths, before 'Wangster' unleashes a robotic sounding dinner party of crunchy synthetic shapes. Next up, the easily recognizable vocals of Vandull are let loose for a blistering display of rave-ready bars on 'Sick & Ill', followed by another return to the minimal on 'Ryu In The Dark', giving us a sub-busting showdown on original dubstep flavour. Finally, the jittering bass glitches and spacey arrangements of 'Monstar' give us a cool outro track, rounding off another top notch collection from the DD&D team.

Review: To start the year off with a bang the Deep Dark & Dangerous crew have pulled out all the stops with this latest drop, welcoming the enigmatic production mastery of Hypho inside for a sizzling six track showdown. The Manchester veteran firstly launches 'Access Denied', a crunchy steppers delight, unleashing tidy drum processing and hard hitting bass action, before Rakjay arrives with a typically tidy vocal addition of 'That Vibration', a swampy slap that will turn any dance to a ruckus. Next, Donnie Danko jumps aboard for the haunted backdrops and lethal low-ends of 'Voodoo Ish', with the bubbling melodic jolts and subtle subby warbles of 'Dingle Bat' following in close pursuit. To round off, two more heavyweight hitters, with the wonky marches and dubby delays of 'Wrong Turn' leading the way before Megumi arrives on 'The End' for a sumptuous soundscape display, giving us a look into Hypho's more emotional side for a signature send off.

Review: Following on from a fabulous year of releases, Deep Dark & Dangerous are back at it again, this time unveiling Oxossi's brand new drop, featuring five sumptuous sizzlers. We begin with the shimmering rhythms and bulgining bass pulses of 'Sweat' which injects the project with energy right from the off, before the organic percussive sampling and sweeping, detuned horn-lines of 'Magdelena' give us something very different indeed. Next 'Morbid Impulses' delivers a combination of smashing drum slaps and eastern melody, before the more mellow composition and shaker-lead rhythms of 'Sosa' again steer the EP in a completely different direction. We then finish up with the Lo-fi drum processing and spooky melodic synthesis of 'Dead Thorns' which puts one final twist in the tale of this fabulous selection.

Review: It's been a brief minute since we last took in a brand new release from the legendary Truth trio, who we are pleased to see returning to their home imprint of Deep Dark & Dangerous for a lively five track expanse. We begin with the title track 'Neptune', a jittering collection of delicate synths and punchy kick patterns, glued together with an array of glittering reese tones. Next, 'Psychological' sees Lelijveld get involved with some stunning vocal additions, giving us some incredible soundscaping mastery before the grizzly atmospherics and glitchy manoeuvres of 'Lost' take us somewhere completely different. From here, 'Shrouds' supplies us with a much more aquatic sounding creation, linking crunchy percussion with volatile bass tones, before we round off with 'Earthlings', a big synth system-buster, stuffed with hypnotic energy and terrifying horn stabs to see us out in style!

This tidy new five track display sees the veteran producer perform at his dubstep optimum, kicking off with the gnarly synth growls and haunted percussive delays of 'Area 51'. Next, the vibrant soundscaping, stunning vocal chops and sweeping synthetic flavours of 'Into The Ground' give us something a lot more emotive before 'The Cosmos' gifts us glittering pads and power sub-pulses below. Finally we finish up with two more heaters, with 'No Sleep' giving us a trippy dive into the edge of a more wave-influenced sound, before the crunchy percussion and heavily syncopated synth melodies of 'Tunnel Vision' put the cherry on the cake.

Review: Truth is on Deep, Dark and Dangerous for an EP that's, well, deep, dark and dangerous. That doesn't quite do the range of sounds and styles on this release full justice, however, as Truth stretches his legs across shuddering halftime, funky jungle and fluid rollers. 'Eyes On Me' is especially delectable, as a haunting vocal sample shimmers up into full view and perches above a juke-influenced, stepping halftime beat that strides out across the full track. 'Heartbreak' is a faster, heavier number that lends some heft to the release, whilst 'Pass Me By' is a lovely, soulful liquid number. This is one for the heads.

Review: For us, there are few North American producers who have had as much of a positive influence on the traditional dubstep sound as The Widdler, who has been at the forefront of swampy sound design for a long time. Here we see him team up with the precise production prowess of Pushloop for 5 tracks of pure danger. To start 'Abydos' takes us down a satanic sidestreet of growling subs and asian melodies, with 'Houdini' providing some more riddim inspired bass drivers and 'Wiccan Witches' causing an absolute ruckus. Both producers have also included solo creations, with Pushloop's being a super swingy percussive ride in 'Broken Murals'. The Widdler then strikes with 'Calamity', a masterpiece in eastern dubstep fusion. Incredible stuff.

From start to finish the EP is a dubsteppers delight, as we tuck into the delicious designs of the title track 'The Valley', followed by the minimized growls of 'Item 9' and incredibly punchy drum/ reese combos of 'One By One'. From here we step into the evil atmosphere and metallic bass maneuvers of 'Borders & Boundaries' before finishing up with the matured percussive rolls and spacious drum work of 'Diagon Alley'. This is a great overall project and yet another instant classic from the DD&D team!

Review: Fresh from his experimental endeavours on his and Karnage's Vomitspit, Dayzero makes his debut on Truth's Deep, Dark & Dangerous label with this powerful five track narrative. Humid skanks, heavy pressure and sludgy bass distortion pave the way on "Looming Shadow" while "Matador" winds up the bull in you with hard throttle 23rd century metallic funk and "Space Cartoon" takes us on an animated one-way trip on the saw tooth express. Need more wetness? Jump on the 2008 wobble homage "Magical Lamp" and give it a good old rub before "Puppet On The Stage" sends us all home packing via the sea of Arabia on a job lot of peyote.

First up, 'Lemon & Cognac' unleashes a grizzly combination of gnarly synth swipes and eerie vocal samples to kick us off in style, before 'Los Angeles' takes the sound back to the essence with a jumpy, percussive-lead roller, packed with tasty distortion and shimmering shakers. Next, the wicked vocal lines of Julia Marks join the party for a hypnotic dive into sweeping synthesizer textures on 'Our Best Trip', followed by a lo-fi coated cave dweller in 'Flavour', a serious title track.

We begin with the dungeon-ready bass growls and warbling low-ended displays of 'Annix', which sets the tone for the EP pretty quickly. Next, the bass-bin-bending synthesizer blows of 'Plane Shifter' unleash a monstrous display of sonic power, before the alien-like reese tones of the title track 'War With The Devil' continue the dungeon-ready theme. From here, the sharpened drum processing of 'Scavenger' gives us a refreshing switch up, without losing any of that sub-bass potency, before 'This Sound' delivers a rib cage-rattling finale, rounding off a seriously impressive display.

First up, 'Bashee' delivers a gut-wrenching punch of saturating bass growls and scuttling drum runs, before the glitchy melodic twitches of 'Mare' and the ground-rumbling synthesiser pulses of 'Swarm' up the pressure to the next level in successive fashion.

We begin with a look at the charming 8bit flutters and softened harmonies of the title track 'Kings' before taking a dive into the deeper and darker with urgent scattered woodwind melodies and breathy chorus lines of 'Paleluv'. The following track we examine is entitled 'Explain' and barges its way into the centre of the project with rawcus lead synths, slicing through all in their path, before we round up this impressive body of work with the eastern inspired melodic lines and hard hitting bass instrumentation of 'Haru'.

Review: It's always an exciting thing to see a new Deep Dark & Dangerous project hit our shelves, especially when they are headed up by ENiGMA Dubz, one of the UK's most consistent sonic masterminds, especially within the field of 140. This project kicks off with the incredibly swampy synth textures and crunchy drum crashes of 'Belphegor', a real monster of a riddim to kick off proceedings. From here, 'Severed' then rears its subby head, doused in gnarly LFO splutters and sharp snare slaps, with 'Pressuring' then delivering a system-ready punch of low ended lava alongside NotL?, upping the energy levels significantly. Finally, the creeping melodies and subtle synthy pads of 'Surfacing' close out this project, which is sure to cause a ruckus or three when it lands in a dancefloor setting!

Review: Previously spotted on Deep Dark & Dangerous Vol 1 last year then, earlier this summer with the one-track headshot "Four Four Mode", Distinct Motive returns to Truth's perennially on-point DDD imprint with their first full four track EP. Each track is a pearly keeper: "F Class" is beautifully simplistic with its molten bassline phrasing and slo-mo Q&A. "Alive" hits hard with a toxic swamp monster sense of pressure and distorted grit, "Tsunami" is as brutal and unforgiving as its name suggests while "Out There" reaches out to our cosmic cousins in their own bleeped out mother tongue.
