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.

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.
