Click [here]( to view in a browser [Juno Download]( [This week's dubstep selections]( Friday 24 February 2017 [New this week]( [View all]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Joker]( [Fantasy]( [Kapsize]( [One of the electronic music's most consistent bass creators returns with a powerful one-tracker to set the new year straight. Maintaining his silky, swooning musicianship but playing with new experiments in both the instrumentation and bass departments, there's an awe-inspiring classical feel to the theatrical strings and bellowing baroque vocals while the bass cuts over the 808 beats with a refreshed grainy roughness. Total dank drama; Joker never fails.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Clearlight]( [Magic Service]( EXCLUSIVE [Subaltern]( [Belgium's Clearlight is most certainly dominating the bass domain as of late, particularly the realm of deeper, darker, more cerebral-minded dubstep. In essence, the dude is carrying forwards the tradition set by Mala et al., in the past. He returns to Subaltern with six post-apocalyptic slices of hardcore continuum-funk, opening the skies with the broken sonic shards of "Fractal Clouds", an utterly beatless affair, which falls neatly into the preposterously itchy percussive groove of the minimialistic "Illness Point". "Magic Service" lays out a little bit of tranquility thanks to its placid beats and synths, and "Carousel" evolves that mood into an eerie, grey-scaled beat sway, but it's "Back Liquid" and "Subcounciousness" that provide the most alluring moments on this tidy yet sinister blockade of bass-weight. Top stuff.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Various [Collective Vol 1]( [Uprise Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [In just a few short years, London's Uprise Audio has made quite an impact as a label that explores the deeper, more textured side of dubstep and bass productions. Here label boss Seven collects 13 of the dopest new jams by the label's impressive roster. Highlights include Seven's own "Get Down", which features squelchy, metallic bass and stop/start trappy beats, the creepy mechanical tribal cacophony of "Herd" by Feonix and the retro horror synths meets digi dub grooves of "Arcade Dub" by Markee Ledge.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Swedger]( [Marigold EP]( EXCLUSIVE [Project Allout](Allout/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Multi-personality man of the moment: Swedger (AKA Ardeer AKA Skagden) steps over to Project Allout for a deliciously wavey slice of instrumental grime. Flexing melodic muscles, none of his rich low-end is lost as we fly through his dreamy almost Oil Gang or Terrorhythm style narrative. As always with Project Allout, remixes hit every spot from every corner: Dubzta gets his tropical pipes out, Cleaverhype plays ping-pong with trippy ricochets and gully switches, Dutty Tingz inject worlds of roominess into the groove while Hexy busses up more of a growl in the bass and strings in the feels. Supersized.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Pugilist]( [FKOFd031]( EXCLUSIVE [FatKidOnFire]( [If Pugilist sounds familiar, that's because he's one half of 140bpm dupstep duo, Perverse. This solo offering though, is a very different kettle of fish indeed. A showcase for the breadth and scope of this producer's production abilities, and one which the label feels is an 'embodiment of the genre's hybrid tradition', we get four tracks of impressive richness. "Astral Plane" is a slow and weary trek across a lonely planet, while "Chalice Riddim" is a spikey reggae-tinged slice of primal dubstep. "Mantis" meanwhile, is sparse and gentle jazzy garage, and closer "Acceptance" is a stunning slice of dreamy pads and scattershot beats.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Pete Saturn](Saturn/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Coola #6]( EXCLUSIVE [Foundation Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Some bass artists aim straight for the dancefloor, but some craft new forms of art within the boundaries of the genre. Pete Saturn (aka Owl) is the latter. The Coola #6 EP is his debut for the Foundation Audio label and features 3 supremely deep jams to get lost in your head to. "Zoon" kicks things off with ominous, crawling rhythms and atmospherics, while "Coola #6" edges towards dubstep, featuring slithering and restless beats. Lastly "Allia" is a completely different of fish, featuring slo-mo beats and recurring blissful melodies. Gleb Choutov also reworks the title track into a creepy, snarling, caged beast of a workout.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Jammin]( [It's Not Long]( [Stripes]( [Stormzy and Skepta may have come away empty handed from the Brit Awards, but their appearance finally acknowledged the existence of grime in the eyes of the British TV viewing public. Here is another example of further UK grime talent in the form of London's Jammin. As the name suggests "Its Not Long" is a short, sharp shocker with Jammin's ferocious flow leading the charge over a stop start hip hop march. Also included is a lean and clean instrumental if mixing things up is more your style.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Flux Pavilion](Pavilion/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Pull The Trigger/Cut Me Out]( [Circus]( [Commercial dance peddler Flux Pavilion is about to embark on his epic Around The World In 80s Raves tour. To coincide with the tour he has unleashed this new two-track single that is purely about stadium entertainment - air cannons and fireworks. Essentially this is the Bon Jovi of electronic music, all about anthems, and if that's your bag, you'll love this. "Pull The Trigger" combines lighters-in-the-air verses (sung in sultry tones by Cammie Robinson) and loud, jump-up choruses. "Cut Me Out" sees radio friendly indie-lite act Turin Brakes collaborate on a slow, tropical synth pop ditty.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Sub Drifter](Drifter/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen EP]( [Macabre Unit Digital](Unit+Digital/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Sub bastions Macabre Unit Digital continue to forage at the fringes for fresh talent and once again they've cropped a serious harvest: welcome Norwegian newcomer Sub Drifter. Previously spotted on Instigate, his M.U.D debut develops his technique to whole new levels: "Listen" hits with subtlety as an industrial strength roll morphs and mutates with stealth while "Se7en" exploits a radar blip with pressurised momentum. Looking for something bitter and twisted? Jump on the fittingly titled "Hit Back Hard" where a sizzling, electric current bassline frazzles and burns through everything in its path. Finally we hit the striking drama of "One Of Us" where a deep space unhurried intro flings us into the swampiest, gloopiest drop this side of the sewage plant. Listen up.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Biome]( [View From The Edge EP]( [On The Edge](The+Edge/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Already under heavy vinyl pressure, Deep Heads sister-stable OTE finally unleash three more definitive cuts from Manchester's finest, Biome. Each track exploring a different corner of the dance.. "Turn" is the theme tune to a sci-fi tragedy that's yet to be written. Evocative and charged with rolling drama, there's a real narrative to rolling groove and momentum. "Remembrance" takes a step back for more of a deep tech perspective before we tap out with the cascading breakbeat rolls of "Niagra". A hurricane of emotional pads wrap around subtle rave influences to create a timeless floor-burner that unites all corners. Serious business, as always from Biome.]( [Also new this week]( [View all]( Various [Partial#1]( [Division]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Youngstar]( [The Game]( [DDJs Productions](Productions/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_also+new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Distinct Motive](Motive/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_also+new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Cessna Riddim/Iron Lung]( [Navy Cut](Cut/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_also+new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Bazza]( [Conduct]( [Triangulum Recordings](Recordings/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_also+new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Still hot]( [View all]( Various [Certified Organic 2 Pt 1]( [Version Collective](Collective/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Karnage]( [ENC007]( [Encrypted Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Shudan]( [Ice Chirps EP (Explicit)]( [White Peach](Peach/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Stagga]( [The Hidden Perks]( [Fat Fridge](Fridge/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_still+hot&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Featured label: FatKidOnFire]( [View all]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [D-Operation Drop](Drop/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_featured+label%3A+fatkidonf&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) / [Iskeletor]( / [Saule]( / [Bukez Finezt](Finezt/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_featured+label%3A+fatkidonf&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [FKOFd030]( [FatKidOnFire]( [New artillery of dubstep swelters from the on-fire FatKidOnFire imprint - yessir! Militant bass vibes and deathly percussive stabs all-round with this new four-way compilation from a bunch of newcomers, and it's all very much in the typical spirit of the label. "Fear Spud" by D-Operation Drop is like a war march guided by a band of low frequencies, Iskeletor's "Charizard" is a wild, venomous slice of neuro-funk with a broken beat, while "S.90" by Saule is a more typical dubstep anthem a-la DMZ, and Bukez Finezt goes more acoustic with his harmonious bass experiment tagged "False Friends". Bad.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Chokez]( [FKOFd029]( [FatKidOnFire]( [Will Benton's label, FatKidOnFire, has a seriously heavy rep for delivering only the most forward thinking productions by the edgiest producers. Each release only has a catalogue number and that's the way it should be - no clutter, just underground sounds. Chokez is the latest to grace the FKOF ranks, turning in this uber meditative four track single. He was discovered by accident when Kaiju uncovered a bootleg of their own tune by this cheeky Londoner... Highlights include the sub-heavy ancient orient vibes of "Ras Samurai VIP" and EP highlight, the deep and dubby headnodder, "Madda".]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Dayzero]( [FKOFd028]( [FatKidOnFire]( [Japanese bad man Dayzero made all the right moves with releases on Phantom Hertz, Zip Sound and a few others last year. His first drop of 2016 suggests Dayzero is still on a course set for the top, aligning with Fat Kid On Fire for a most impressive four track release that ends on a heavyweight collaboration with Karnage. Don't sleep on the preceding three solo cuts from Dayzero however, as collectively they really make this worthy of your time and attention. The heavily chopped vocals and superbly structured percussion sets opener "Allca" apart as our pick; the stuttering kicks really feel like they are bouncing off the bassline.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Chris Innasound](Innasound/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_featured+label%3A+fatkidonf&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [FKOFd027]( [FatKidOnFire]( [Chris Innasound comes through with some phat, smoking tunes, and somehow manages to land on a label with a very similar outlook, the unstoppable FatKidOnFire. Four tunes, four walls of beats and bass for your body and mind; "It Is What It Is" takes a slow, marching rhythm and slaps a fat wallop of bass underneath it, and "What You Need" sounds like its natural development, a frozen, harmonic bundle chunk of noise with a rhythmic pattern. "Re-Entry" rolls and flaunts its more tribal percussion in front of a subtly squelching load of mutant bass, whereas "Between The Lines" takes after the deep and heady dubstep that both the artist and the label are closely associated to. Heavy gear.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Headland]( [Fkofd026]( [FatKidOnFire]( [Bona fide dungeon master from New Zealand, Headland makes his FKOF debut with four cosmic chasm explorations: "Break Out" rides on an alluring industrial texture most likely sampled from an oil rig in the furthest reaches of the known universe. "VHS Weather" takes us even further into the unknown with a woozy, seasick dynamic that's both paranoid and uplifting. "Trade Off" plays with the concept of space as the beats build with a roomier view, allowing the piped tones and waft through like thick green smoke. Finally we hit "Inflekshun". The swampiest side of the square, be prepared as deep washes of tones and textures coat you indelibly. Unique.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Isolate]( [Fkofd024]( [FatKidOnFire]( [Deep and futuristic dubstep from Will Benton's FatKidOnFire out of London. This time it is Bristol duo Isolate at the helm, taking you on some disturbed bass excursions. First track "Damaged" features skilfully restrained rhythm with demonic bass snarls and overall haunting atmospherics. "Hyperion" is more chilled out upon first listen but don't think for a second that they let up on the darkness or bass pressure. "Program" sees them get back up-tempo with metallic industrial percussion accompanied by demonic reverberations and alien snarls. Finally they team up with Slynch on "Fandango" a funky, grinding liquid dubstep affair.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Moonstones]( [FKOFd023]( [FatKidOnFire]( [Fatkidonfire have been known to pull a few new artists out the woodwork, and the finger always seems to be stuck to the pulse with these guys. This times it's Moonstones who makes his debut, and he does so with four broken pieces of bass swagger. "Powernap" is a low-swinging bundle of Percussion scatter and minimal bass, but "Cupol" is bouncier and generally more moody in life. "Murky" is a grainy, lamenting grime hybrid, while "Rhino Clash" steals the spotlight with its steeping beats, hissing back room sonics and digi dancehall bass aesthetics.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Darj]( [FKOFd022]( [FatKidOnFire]( [Fat Kid On Fire, the more daring of dubstep labels out there at the moment, welcome back Darj to deliver some of his inimitable mind swagger, and he delivers the goods like always. The opener "Wagwan" is probably the choice cut out of the four, where the tunes half-steps are swallowed whole by an ocean of dubby chord swells, but "The Edge" is not far behind given its deep and driving groove slithering militantly in the shadows. "Submarine Dub", as the name suggests, is a subaqueous bass pounder that'll rock your boat and throw you overboard thanks to a healthy dosage of lo-fi wobbles; the remix comes from Egoless who tears the groove wide open, leaving only a trail of watery dub and bric-a-brac percussion in his path.]( [Coming soon]( [View all]( [Sekko]( [No Manners EP]( [White Peach](Peach/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Various [Glume Presents]( [Southpoint]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Various [Funk You Volume Undici]( [White Mama Music](Mama+Music/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-02-20&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen](
