Mesck, an exciting talent from LA, is all about that meditative, fear-enducing sort of bass music, and we have to say that he's one of the few to craft it properly. "The Veil" and "Slang Suffocate" are two sides of the same coin, both piling up a noxious little groove thanks to fuzzy layers of industrial bass backed by appropriately off-kilter drums and wayward percussion. YES FAM.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Preditah]( / Various [FABRICLIVE 92: Preditah]( [Fabric Worldwide](Worldwide/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Pure headphone and home-listening inspiration: Peditah's Fabriclive mix comes strictly mixed form and it's a straight up snapshot of bass music's raw and healthy state right now. Bulging with bangers and exclusives from the likes of DJ Q, Wiley, Bassboy, C4, Mr Virgo and loads more, the Brum badman takes us from the sublime house of Black Loops to the riotous grit of Solo 45 and all shades in between. Fluid and fiery, all recorded in one take, Preditah's delivered one of the most on-point mixes Fabric have released in a long time. Essential listening every time you touch road.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [EVA808]( [Oyuki EP]( [White Peach](Peach/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Stockholm's Eva808 returns to the ever-juicy White Peace with her first full EP for the label. Following the damage and soul exploding sounds of her Encrypted EP last year, once again it's a woozy unpredictable affair: "Oyuki" is a seasick damager with its warped textured and slurring momentum while the string-snapping "Empress" is straight out of Hitchcock's playbook. "Ro$e Gold" and "You Don't" play perfect counterpoint as hazier soft-focus antidotes to her peaktime venom. The former is like being in a church under the sea while "You Don't" is like having honey poured in your ears.

This time they're for brand new London talent Johnny East. Frolicking in the swampy, creepy playground between dubstep, grime, trap and house, each cut is tailored to send shivers down that gnarly spine of yours. From the halloween chuckle and bell tolls of "Ghost Rider" to subby halfteps of the midnight-shimmering "Rehab" via the 23rd century trap chimes of "Past Events" and twisted vocal rhythm elements of "Footsteps", East makes his opening statement loud and clear. Perfect Ghost House material.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Enochi & Coltcuts](%2526+Coltcuts/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Captive Minds]( [Deep Dark & Dangerous](Dark+%2526+Dangerous/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Enochi and Coltcuts touch down on the dubstep scene for the first time, with Deep, Dark & Dangerous the label to give these two their first outing. We're not lying when we say that that "Captive Minds" is the most impressive bass swelter that we've heard all week; the tune is pushed forwards by an evil, meandering bass that skips in and out of hollow sonics and devilish atmospherics. If this were to have been banged out at FWD back in the day, the reactions would likely have been hysterical, followed by an endless number of rewinds. Play this out on a big system and you'll see the damage...]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Diggerz]( [Esoteric]( [Untied]( [Welcome to the swamp... Untied invite Toulouse sub fusionists Diggerz to the fray with five slabs of pure industrial strength sine language. Those hungry for molten steel sound design should head for the nightmarish growls of "Public Nuisance", those looking for a post-apocalyptic street looting session with aliens should jump on "Curious", those in need of a scuffing rifle rhythm and toxic bass grunts will be in a lather over "Esoteric" while those with a strong penchant for dubspace and raw freaky funk will be all over "Idencent". Those who are greedy and still want more should be more than satisfied with Zygos's remix of "Curious". Follow the signs....]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Dalek One](One/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [ENC027D]( [Encrypted Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [US bass producer Dalek One comes through with some seriously professional constructions, showing the UK fam exactly how it's done in 2017! Up on Encrypted Audio, the producer starts off with the moody, unpredictable flows of "Gone Mad", which fall neatly into the hands of the liquifying "Lid Seeker". "Not Real" drags its rusty, deranged beats along with the help of a murderous web of bass, whereas "Scattered Music" sounds more like machine than man, a cold and calculated bric-a-brac of beats and bass with a sinister edge.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [DJ Variant](Variant/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Sigma 957]( EXCLUSIVE [Sure State](State/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [After a pair of noticeable appearances for Phantom Hertz it's time for DJ Variant to step the game up further and further, with Sure State being the imprint to help him in his quest. "Sigma 957" is a rough, bubbling bass monster with a cold artillery of low frequencies and a drunken flow of half-step beats; the Durandal remix develops those bass waves further still, giving them more room to allow the murderous frenzy of beats to fill the space. Lil' tip, right here!]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [SkinzMann]( [Pay Me EP]( [Titanium Audio](Audio/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_new+this+week&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Pretty much leading the line for Devon's insular bass scene, Skinzmann is back on Titanium Audio with a bruising shot of curbside grime carrying the illest of flows. Riding shotgun in the big-room grime machine blasting out sinister horns are Mr Traumatik, Dizzle Kid and Devilman, all spitting some absolute fire. We don't want to get all cliche and that, but this sounds like the sort of gear that is hard to find these days; the sort of material 'they don't make anymore'. This is an all-out machine-gun attack from the crew, and you get the parts for good measure.

Sleeper's output is always top notch but, we have to say, these new late-night bruisers are among his very best, and worthy of some true head-nodding. "Seagulls" has got all the right elements for a raucous showdown: a gratuitous amount of low frequencies, a wailing, foreboding texture, and that classic dubstep snare-attack. "French Toasty" is no less powerful in its delivery and, in fact, the bass on this monster is even more poignant, and it's easy to why these two tunes are just so sought-after. Go forth and destroy.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [District]( [Drowsy]( [Chestplate]( [Time for some proper, authentic dubstep: District returns to Chestplate with three straight up slabs of bass power. "Drowsy" starts with a slouchy funk to the beat before dropping into a fat, fuzzy 2008 bassline that refuses to hold back its playfulness. Both "Street Knowledge" and "Locking Up" are much darker, deeper creepers with lava basslines oozing down the volcanic halfstep drums. The former is all sci-fi and pranged out, the latter peeps down into the dungeon without resorting to type. Drop them after 3am and you'll be nothing short of knighted.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Leon Switch](Switch/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_featured+label%3A+chestplat&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Intrepid]( [Chestplate]( [Although Leon Switch hasn't always dealt in dubstep, we can safely say that his productions have always contained a strong element of UKness, and whether they've been d&b or pure bass, they have certainly landed on the hardcore continuum. Switch returns to the Chestplate label here, and he's back with two gun-toting monsters, the first of which, "Intrepid", sounds like Freddie Kruger's idea of what dubstep should be. "Overlook" packs a similar punch of horror, but this time it's deeper and murkier, a sludgy bundle of low frequencies barely held in place by a minimal percussion bounce.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Mesck]( [Dead Language]( [Chestplate]( [Fresh from his recent cameo on Tuba, LA's premier dank scientist steps aboard Distance's trusty Chestplate ship for more deep sea sonics; "Dead Language" is a creeped out slammer with pneumatic drums and some really interesting sample use on the fills. Looking to go darker? Jump straight on "Anti-Social". A real flattener of a track thanks to its incessant kicks and subverted laser gun samples, gloomy ominousness seeps from every element. Finally we hit "Undertone". The intro features more prominent chords and musicality before dropping into a lean, stripped back drum arrangement that's so paranoid it will have you setting up a new neighbourhood watch vigilante splinter group within minutes.]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Distance]( [Long Live The Groove]( [Chestplate]( [Distance returns with a sentiment every single one of us can sign up to. He's not all chats, either; "Long Live The Groove" is a swaggering, sweaty slab of swinging bass music that develops momentum on every bar. Really juicy, funky stuff, there's a reason this has been kept on dub for so long. "Can You (Dub)" follows, and it's all about the drums. Fine-tuned and polished, there's a sense of liquid movement to the rhythm as strange designs and eerie cries drive deep into your ears. Finally we hit "Straight Up". The name says it all; a moody bass hook that doesn't quit, toxic subs and a weighty halftime drum arrangement... It's straight up badness, as you'd expect from the Chestplate bossman.]( [Coming soon]( [View all]( [SPK]( [Hot Pursuit EP]( [Hardrive]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Techtonic]( [Hear Me EP]( [Philosophy]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Audhentik & Iam5erious](%2526+Iam5erious/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Room Of Truth]( [Cue Line](Line/?utm_source=feat_email&utm_medium=feat_email_17-05-22&utm_term=feat_email_all_none&utm_content=feat_email_coming+soon&utm_campaign=feat_email_dubstep_jd) [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( Featured DJ charts [Alert]( [April 2017 Dubstep Chart]( [A:Grade & Juss B]( [Done Deal]( [Uprise Audio]( [Listen]( [Wishlist]( [Buy]( [Wheelton]( [CPH4 (original mix)]( [Sub Pressure]( [Listen](.
