Two DDD favourites join forces, under severe pressure from upper management to produce a slew of nasty 140 bangers, or else. Concocted in some godforsaken lab of musical weaponry, Hypho and Wraz locked themselves away in search of the deepest, darkest and most dangerous sounds known to bass music. Following this extensive and painstaking mission, were pleased to report, the pair overachieved in spades - coming through with three of the most rotten tunes youll hear this century, forming the aptly titled Pressure. The duo come out swinging with Tactics, a slice of unadulterated dubstep filth with UK MC Hypes spitting fire to add further chaos to proceedings, followed by Pressure and Program - two instrumental jams whose manic intensity slowly suffocates you as you gasp for air. Feeling the weight of pure Pressure? Get the fuck over it.
Following hot on the heels of the just released Limitless album, Signal Lost emerges as a fierce, surgical extension of the Limitless experience—cutting through genre lines with precision, weight, and intent. This three-track EP is a distilled transmission of ANTENNAEs sonic versatility, blending high-voltage club pressure with raw artistic flair. Wires in My Brain opens the set with twisted, Low gliding energy—a hip-hop-infused juggernaut soaked in surrealism and grit. Nonsensical on the surface, deeply coded beneath, its chaos with purpose. Shut It Down follows with primal drum & bass energy—fierce, rolling, and undeniable. Loaded with infectious vocals and seismic groove, its already drawing heat from across the spectrum. This tune will definitely be shutting down systems this summer and beyond. Closing out the EP is Bigger Than Small—a halftime shapeshifter, built around warped basslines and hypnotic vocal refrains. Its precise, playful, and heavy in all the right places. Genre is a suggestion. Energy is the law. – ANTENNAE Signal Lost is not a detour—its a signal flare. The message is clear: ANTENNAEs frequency is shifting, and its only getting louder.
Deep, Dark & Dangerous is beyond hyped to welcome party starter DJ, producer, radio presenter and all round bass music badass SHOSH to the label. Her DDD debut Dizzy EP is set to disorientate you in the best possible way, sending you dizzy in the dance with its high octane flows, percussive grooves and sub flexing energy - all tied together with an exquisite mixdown. The London-based American born UK artist cut her teeth in the UKG scene as the leading force behind 24hr Garage Girls, but has always had a passion for dubstep which led her to experimenting adding her UKG flavours to the 140 world - with recent releases on UKF and Deadbeats. The results in Dizzy EP see this unique sound go to another level, three 140 monsters ready to make the party rock and shut down the rave. Led EP opener Bounce and lead single Block Party, its a one-two punch of infectious animation before the eponymous closes proceedings with melodic, broody weight. Ready to get Dizzy? Not likely.
MRSHL makes his debut on Infernal Sounds and showcases exactly what hes about throughout the English Weather EP. The American producer has been sat on these beats for some time; arguably some of his best work, so its only fitting its found its way onto the LTD series. To fall in line with the format of the series, the title track is saved for vinyl only. 90s Spesh kicks off the digital release with a bang, taking pure influence from 90s dance music and breaks in the build up before unleashing real rhythmic and groovy mainframe. Redeye throws down more of a kaleidoscopic spectrum of sound, taking you further down the wormhole with sweeping SFX and vocal stabs. Taiko then joins MRSHL for Late Night Riddim - never has there been a more fitting title for a beat. Its rambunctious and in your face. A tune youd definitely be throwing the gun fingers up to a 5am as the light creeps into the club. Spinnin finishes off the EP with a spiralling low-end, one thatll get your head bobbing. The eloquent use of grimey notes are a nice touch and the 2nd drop is a proper throw down. A truly brilliant release and illustrates everything you want in a dubstep release - high energy, warm and rounded bass and a proper kick & snare thatll get everyone dancing on the dance floor.
Lewis Capaldi is the fourth and final single from Visages ahead of their debut album. Featuring Manchesters Strategy, this lyrically sharp and bass heavy anthem has been widely anticipated since their performance at Boomtown in 2023. A sonically dynamic future anthem.

Two of the hottest young prospects in the 140 dubstep scene, Kali x Siskiyou, combine for a simply exquisite double A side on DDD - Regulatin / Sneakers. The groove for Regulatin is nawty, featuring a punchy lofi beat that prime J Dilla would be proud of, while still packing serious heat in the subs and a bucket load of swag. Sneakers is a more complex affair, with jazzy overtures and shuffling hats, the tunes immaculate vibe and atmospheres will transport you to another dimension in the club. Dont miss out on these rising talents: fully DDD approved.
To kick off our 2025 release schedule we are pleased to welcome Ape Suit to the label for his debut with this saucy little number entitled Duality EP. The three tracks on show here from the Australian producer demonstrate his ear for sound design and a blurring of styles, with elements of breaks, techno and glitch all combining with the 140/dubstep vibe to create something truly unique, which is shown again through the amazing track titles. Opening number Where You Stumble Lies Your Treasure kicks of proceedings nicely with a techy inspired tracks that marries nicely with some distorted bass driving the track along. Sirens and Screems ups the energy with some LFO madness that drives the track through various stages of cleverness, lots of change ups and lovely drum breaks. The third original track Now is the Envy of the Dead has an element of breaks in it with a lovely shuffle throughout that allows it to vibe alongside some awesome vocal sampling. On remix duty we welcome back our breaks aficionado Ekula to flip Sirens and Screams as only he knows how, taking the energy of the original and dialling it up to 11, then applying breaks and amens a plenty!
UK don ENiGMA Dubz is back on DDD with Machine Learning - a concept EP that could redefine dubstep and bass music. AI is dominating the news agenda and changing our day-to-day existence with every passing moment. We constantly hear use cases of AI imitating humans, but what about a human re-imagining AI? With Machine Learning, ENiGMA Dubz is the human within the machine - engineering and creating dubstep music as if he was an AI entity becoming more intelligent with every passing week until sentience is realised, yet every element of the composition is man made. Across the four tracks from Week 1 to Week 4, and enticing atmospheric interludes, the audio experience becomes more complex, with recurring themes, sounds and melodic passages being interwoven within the AIs consciousness - all underpinned by customary ENiGMA Dubz bass pressure and production prowess at 140 bpm. Machine Learning truly blurs the lines between whats human, and whats machine.
Visages present the second offering from their debut album in the form of Crystal Clear. Linking back up with the Nottingham-based MC this track combines their signature experimental production with Snowys razor-sharp delivery.
We are excited to announce the expansion of the Transparent Audio family in 2025, introducing new talent to our roster, and we have a big surprise in store. Welcoming our newest artist, Kaneki. A fresh face in the bass music scene, Kaneki is a versatile DJ and producer whose sound spans a wide range of tempos, from 130 to 170 BPM, with a main focus on sub-heavy, bass-driven sonics. Drawing influence from early jump-up drum & bass and the organic groove of drum-intensive rollers, Kaneki is poised to carve out a unique space for himself within the bass music community. Formerly known as Khan, originally from Plymouth and now based in Bristol, this next phase of his career marks an exciting evolution, as he continues to develop his new and distinctive sound. Whether its through the explosive drop of a high-octane Drum & Bass roller or a bone-rattling heavyweight Dubstep track, Kanekis music always carries a groove that resonates on the dancefloor. His productions are not just about heavy basslines; they evoke emotion and movement, engaging the mind and body. With a growing catalogue of releases under his previous moniker, Khan, Kaneki is now focused on embracing his new identity and looking forward to exploring the next chapter in his evolving sound. We cant wait to share whats to come from Kaneki in 2025 and beyond. Mastered by Height Sonics Artwork by Primitive Instinct Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com
Melding sci-fi with fantasy via the form of cold, deep, menacing 140 beats - DDD UK veteran Youngsta teams up with Costa Rican super duo Mucky Update on their futuristic four track slap down: The Curse. Taking inspiration in equal parts from Stranger Things as Dungeon and Dragons, the three producers piece together a body of tracks set to send their enemies to the abyss, and beyond - showcasing phenomenal technical prowess, sound design and a complete disregard for common decency. Washing over you like a spell of satanic sorcery - the EP is cohesive in its manipulation of your very senses, disorientating, wonky, woosy and damn right nasty. The beats cut through like excalibur being brandished by a futuristic knight from a hostile alternate dimension - while the low frequencies flex subs like they are black holes enveloping the rave and all in attendance. Any label with any self respect would issue warnings with music as downright nasty as this, but DDD lost that years ago - all in the name of dubstep. Ready to feel The Curse? Come join the crew.
Boka Records kick things off in 2025 with a new recruit in the shape of USAs Mikrodot, coming with Emerald Tablet, a deep, heavy, mystical and introspective eastern inspired beat. Truly one for the heads-down crew. Mastered by Kromestar @ Shockwave.
DDD is beyond hyped to welcome one of the hottest upcoming talents in the scene for their debut EP release on the label, ATLs uncompromising bass machine - Canvas. With Inner Loops, they present a dynamic eurythmic conceptual tour-de-force across four energetically and emphatically executed tracks, with conceptual essence dripping from every pore. As the title alludes to, this EP contemplates the cyclical nature of human thought patterns and emotions. Our lives are cataloged by continual themes of self-discovery & acceptance, the dance of light & darkness, time, untapped potential, and angst. - Canvas This theme is apparent from the outset as Temptations provides an introspective maelstrom, straddling the reflective with the outright outrageous assault of the senses that will send raves into shockdown. Transitioning to Seconds Lost where techno and acid rave essences are scattered within a derelict landscape of sonic scarcity, before the drop slaps the listener senseless - with this techno inspired aesthetic carrying over to the gargantuan Exponential. EP closer is a more choppy and technical affair, with complex vocal cuts and hi-hat patterns matched by an ice cold metallic snare clap and trance-like synths. Locked inside your Inner Loops? This EP could set you free.
ADS1 joins the Encrypted Audio ranks, after a brief label hiatus to focus on finding fresh unheard talent - ADS1 is one of the first to land off the good ship music. This release packs firepower unlike no other with 5 deep sea dwelling monsters!
In 2025 we mark the return of the former Biscuit Factory Records member SYXX. For over 10 years, SYXX has been a force in the darker, heavier side of the genre, known for his intense, shadowy soundscapes and commanding basslines. He forged a reputation that extends across platforms like ESPN and labels like Biscuit Factory and now Wheel & Deal Records. He is not just a producer; hes a drummer and DJ whose sets focus on technical mixing and crowd impact. With a slate of new releases on the way, his music speaks to true Dubstep fans who crave raw, immersive experiences, SYXX is one to watch in 2025 and we welcome him to Wheel & Deal Records.
DDDs favourite Berlin-based bass butcher Bukez Finest is back on the label, and this time hes cut up beats so rotten theyre gonna putrefy your very existence. Across three gnarly Putrefied Soul riddims, the Germans genome shaking production prowess is bordering on clinical insanity. Tortured genius or certified madman? Well let you decide. The eponymous opener stays true to Bukez heritage, with ice cold metallic textures and system shattering bass - before a techno breakdown that wouldnt be out of place at the Berghains most debauched raves. Malas been rinsing this one. Who Da Buckezt takes things in an all the more urban direction, with faux gangsta swag, nasty putrid beats and savage satanic synths. EP closer Bussin might be the nastiest of the lot, as discordant, disorientating swells, swoon and gloom, gorging on misery and discombobulation before glitchy breakbeats finally drag you down to the pits of hell. Ready to have your soul putrified? Youd be lucky.
Kicking off 2025, Silent Motion Records proudly welcomes Canadian talent Vince Grave for his debut release on the label - a powerhouse two-tracker that absolutely sets the tone for the year ahead. Following the success of Nautical Divines XUE/QI (MOTIONXX1), this next chapter dives head first into the depths of soundsystem music. We open with Bayou, a swampy exploration of elongated basslines and cavernous textures, ebbing and flowing through a maze of weighty sub pressure and hypnotic atmospherics. On the flip, Wasteland shifts gears with a relentless, high-pitched synth lead, slicing through gritty drum arrangements and ominous backdrops. A exceptional debut for Vince Grave and a standout start to the year for Silent Motions expanding catalog/roster.

Portuguese producer & DJ, 3WA debuts on Infernal Sounds with the Scavenger EP to mark the 4th instalment of the prolific LTD series. The producers progressive, forward-thinking approach to the 140 sound, is a perfect match for Infernal Sounds and this EP radiates the purest of dubstep flavours on offer. Minotaur kicks things off and instantly throws you into the crosshairs. The burgeoning weight of the main lead piles ten tonnes of weight onto the shoulders, and culminates a true monster in musical form. Mutts then wheels things back, elegantly crossing the boundaries between new-school 140 techniques and old-school dubstep tones. The percussion is an absolute triumph. Wandering takes you a little deeper into the mainframe, a swirling bass cauldron licked with groove-infused kicks and mid-range textures. Space Impact finishes off proceedings with a progressive dread-march through the stars, incorporating some snap and groove between the wobbed out low-end flex. The EP really highlights why 3WA is one of the most lauded in the scene for his innovative use of percussion and perfect mantra between light & dark, new & old.
Prepare yourself for an absolute sound system assault as Solidstates hit NICE UP! with two seismic 140 bangers, fresh off the back of their massive drops on N-Types Wheel And Deal records (including the notorious War Mi with grime icon Riko Dan). The Leeds/London collective consisting of Danny T & Tradesman, Finwa, Jakey Banton and Joe Knight bring their heavyweight production skills together, blending the rawest elements of dubstep and grime drawing inspiration from their early raving years at the legendary Subdub at the West Indian Centre. Deathgrip comes on like a lost Icerink-era Eski riddim, stark and relentless energy built for any MC daring enough to step up, whilst Miso Soup goes a bit heavier, sounding like it would detonate DMZ on any night of the week. One for true heads.
