Truth – Endless Universe
The explosive yet ominous lead single to truth’s upcoming album stays true to their deep and dark roots, while also pushing forward sounds we might not expect from them. The entire song has this kind of aged vinyl or radio feel, which perfectly compliments the creepy sci-fi vocals. The best part, however, is the weird sound design of the basses, and the patterns in which they dance around the sub kicks.
Dusty Bits – Morph Matter
Dusty Bits’ newest track is truly a morph of styles. The song’s buildup introduces a nice melodic breakbeat feel, before switching to a heavier trap influenced drop. Later on more styles get thrown into the mix as a Daft Punk-esque lead synth comes into play, hyping up the energy.
Psy Fi – Whiskey Tango
Hot on the heels of his recent concept album, Psy Fi returns with a unique hybrid trap banger that really tests the boundaries of the genre. In the drop the main vocal sample and main bass weave together, creating an infectious fun and bouncy vibe. Like all the best songs, things change in the second drop, which introduces a MASSIVE and immersive bass that really will knock your socks off!
MCVC – Optic Wired Nerves

This dude has master his sound design skills, and has crafted a sonic landscape that is brought to life to a variety of metallic and immersive basses.

The legend himself Steve Aoki is back and this time he’s teamed up with three heavy hitters. With the duo DVBBS tagging in to help out on production, these two artists together scream a high-energy party track.

You cane expect massive bass drops and shrilling leads on this latest release from the Dim Mak owner himself.
KillBreak feat. KJ Sawka – Wipe Out
The legendary KJ Sawka has teamed up with the one-and-only KillBreak to make the heaviest drum and bass / breaks release that will rip you a new one. “Wipe Out” is not for the weak-willed and almost instantly takes off with intense speed. The chord and the bridge provide a break in tension, adding a extra bit of balance to the banger.
Teddy Killerz – Teddy’s Song

In a perfect mix of bass, drums, and chords, Teddy Killerz creates an exciting experience that will leave dance floors everywhere speechless.
TINYC & Kermode – Icarus
This exciting collab between TINYC and Kermode really tests the boundaries of each producer’s sounds. The song’s mystical melody drifts through your ear, soon being overtaken by a creeping bass and an ominous vocal sample. The drop that follows includes many of the tendencies of a normal trap drop, while also introducing sounds and rhythms that somehow feel fresh. This is the kind of unique tune that you want to hear on the dance floor to breakup the monotony of the night
