Born in the redwoods of Kings Mountain, CA and now based in Denver, CØNTRA (Ezra Arenson) blends deep dubstep and world bass into an organic, nature-infused sound. With over a decade in Denver’s bass scene, his music fuses dark, spacious atmospheres, hypnotic low-end, and global textures. This 60-minute mix for Deep Dark & Dangerous showcases his signature sound and captures the raw energy of his live sets.
You can catch CØNTRA at Mission Ballroom in Denver this Halloween on 11/1.

CØNTRA - Road to Mission - DDD MIX

Performed live @ the AMP stage at Shambhala Music Festival, British Columbia

Live @ Shambhala 2025

Coming at you like a sandstorm on an icy desert night, Sedona EP sees DDD bossmen Truth serve up four tracks as cold as they are menacing - with touches of sci-fi and psychedelics within the creative venn-diagram - as the duo link up extraterrestrials and earthlings via the power of bass wave frequencies.

Like the stunningly barren, mystical and UFO-magnetizing landscape that is its inspiration - Sedona lives in its own elevated audio plane, where bass savagery is met with existential sophistication and otherworldly atmospheres. 

Lead track Zoot stamps its authority as system heater of the year, with East London MC Eklipse letting rip over a groove so deep, it makes the Grand Canyon seem like your granny’s favourite creek. 

140 cuts Sedona and Frequencies showcase Truth’s customary production prowess in full flight - much like the flying saucers so regularly hunted in Sedona - before long time set favourite Nobody adds UKG flavours to complete the package.

Ready for a trip around your very existence? Sedona EP will reveal Truth.

Who’s the worst kept secret of the 140 scene? Smart money is on dubstep’s most intrepid shaman journeyman, Leo Cap. 

A law unto himself, with Changer EP, Leo’s stepping up to be a true Bad Man. Six immaculately crafted deep system bangers that stand up to any producer on the planet, with unreal sonic clarity, EQ depth and percussive energy. 

Lead single Bad Man begins proceedings with a groove so gangsta it makes G Unit look like the Jonas Brothers, whereas Selfish offers 2025’s best screw face inducing synth line. Changer switches things up with a futuristic soundscape before the drop obnoxiously slaps you around the chops and fails to apologise. 

Feel the Vibe comes in as cold as the arctic circle with its hypnotic swing, before Play flips proceedings to a technical playground of shaman sorcery - with EP closer Perfect gradually building to a wall of dub influenced bass weight and reverb drenched rim clicks. 

Who’s the baddest of them all? Leo Cap’s the game Changer.

Bad Man

Wraz b2b Substance - Gunfingaz Thursday Live at Shambhala 2025 (AMP stage)

Are you MAD? Substance and Kowta have joined forces to create an EP so diabolical, it makes Lucifer look like the Cheshire Cat. Demons is here to unsettle your soul, disturb your dreams and ultimately lose your futile grasp on what you perceive to be reality. 

These tunes are gnarly, murky and damn right sinister to their core - with devilish production intricacies scattered throughout the five demonic works. 

Lead single The Infiltrator is a 140 bpm deep dubstep banger - ready to infiltrate any rave.
