Deafblind x Mesck - Less Than Nothing

As the ever-essential Deep Dark & Dangerous imprint prepares to drop its 100th release on the label, this slow-burning heater from Mesck and Woven Thorns leads the way.

Pulled from the forthcoming 'DDD100' album that consists of collaborations between artists who have work with the label, this one offers a glimpse into the power the full LP is sure to deliver when it drops November 11.

To hold you over until then, check this exclusive Bassrush premiere of Mesck and Woven Thorns' "Known Enemy" above and be sure to lock in your own copy of the single which drops tomorrow (Nov 4) here: https://ddd.lnk.to/DDD100

MESCK X WOVEN THORNS - KNOWN ENEMY [Bassrush Premiere]

Truth assemble the full Deep, Dark & Dangerous Juggernaut for a ridiculously large remixes album, featuring brand new versions of their "Trilogy of the Toads" album. Entitled "Anatomy of a Twinkle Toad" this album encompasses 32 of the best and baddest producers from within the 140 realm. 

From DDD heavyweights such as DMVU, Khiva, Biome, ENiGMA Dubz and Chef Boyarbeatz... to some fresh faces on the DDD block, such as Mythm, Argo, Teffa and Boylan. The remixes range from big, dark and heavy, to deep and melodic. Essential ammunition for any crate.

Dead Language

Celebrating 10 years of Deep, Dark & Dangerous: Decade.

ddd.lnk.to/decade2

A specially curated collection of tunes that encapsulates everything we love about our label and the community we’ve built around it.

TRUTH has always lived and breathed music that is deeper, darker and dangerouser but we could never have dreamed of where the imprint is at now, through pure passion for and dedication to sound system culture.

What started as monthly Monday night in a 100 person capacity San Francisco basement in 2012, leading to our first release in November 2014 - Deep, Dark & Dangerous takes huge pride in representing the best of dubstep, 140 and bass music in a catalogue approaching 140 releases.

This celebration compilation of DDD’s first decade as an imprint is all about looking forward.

Through an epic double album of original tracks, this is the cream of the crop - featuring our favourite big hitters and some of the hottest young talent in the underground.

Decade showcases the best of where we’re at but also what the future holds for the scene we call home.

Here’s to the next decade.

RUINS Mix Series ARCHIVE001: Mesck & Woven Thorns

OUT NOW: https://lnk.to/madgod-s1-ruins001

A slow-burning collision of creative forces, “Mad God” distills the musical identities of two of LA’s most forward-thinking dubstep artists—@mesck and @woventhorns. Channeling a shared affinity for weight and intensity, the track fuses @mesck’s raw, system-focused sound with @woventhorns’ signature gritty atmospheres. “Mad God” embodies the ethos of their new label, @ruins_corp, where genre boundaries collapse in favor of pure creative expression—resulting in one cohesive, unrelenting statement.

Mesck - 'Blackletter' EP (RUINS001) Showreel

OUT NOW: https://lnk.to/blackletter-s2-ruins001 

Uncompromising and steeped in sub pressure, “Blackletter” sets the tone for @mesck’s EP and the coinciding launch of the label. As the title track, “Blackletter” embodies the release’s core vision—fusing industrial grit with relentless, system-focused weight. Rugged basslines, crushing drums, and dystopian textures collide, carving a defiant path through the depths of the underground.

Blackletter

OUT NOW: https://lnk.to/blackletter-ep-ruins001

Fusing underground weight with a subversive edge, Los Angeles-based @mesck stands as one of dubstep’s most consistently forward thinking artists. Driven by rugged basslines and heavy riffs, his signature style merges a crate-digging mentality with modern technical precision.

Mesck’s ‘Blackletter’ EP marks the debut of @ruins_corp, a bass music imprint he co-founded with @woventhorns. As the namesake represents, RUINS evokes remnants of an increasingly eroding subculture. The label offers a defiant perspective on dubstep, drum & bass, and beyond in response to the commodification of underground dance music.

Shaping visions of a dystopian future through industrial textures and crushing grit, ‘Blackletter’ is a force for raw, system-focused sound. Featuring three solo tracks and a collaboration with Woven Thorns, Mesck’s EP is defined by its bold sub pressure and relentless drums. While unapologetically dancefloor at its core, this collection blurs the lines between headphone and sound system listening in an unyielding exploration of the digital wasteland.
