by Kristen Dutton Jun 18, 2025

UK bass visionary Claybrook breaks the silence with “CONFLICT,” a standout from Port Zero’s Shipment Vol. 3 compilation. Curated by Infekt and Bewildered, the label showcases forward-thinking sound design, and Claybrook fits right in. With ghostly atmospheres and jagged percussion, “CONFLICT” feels like a digital exorcism from deep within the UK underground.

The production hits like a psychological thriller wired directly into your nervous system. Claybrook doesn’t just build pressure—he weaponizes it. There’s a newfound grit, a controlled fury honed like a sharpened blade. Rather than shy away from distortion, he pushes it into sharp focus.

With deep UK roots and a growing global following, Claybrook has surged to the frontlines of the modern bass scene. Fans, labels, and promoters have taken serious notice. His Beatport smash “STONECOLD DUB (VIP)” and #1 debut EP ‘ZX-3’ marked major milestones in his breakout year. Now, with “CONFLICT” surging on ‘Shipment Vol. 3,’ Claybrook proves he’s not just rising—he’s leading the charge.

Port Zero launched in early 2025, spearheaded by Infekt and Bewildered (aka “B”), spotlighting cutting-edge bass music from around the globe. The label merges cinematic sound design with underground weight, drawing from dubstep, grime, and experimental bass traditions. With each ‘Shipment’ compilation, they deliver a forward-facing vision, and “CONFLICT” fits that blueprint perfectly. Claybrook’s next chapter unfolds live at Le Red Room in Montréal on June 30th, 2025. For those tuned into the future of bass, now’s the time to follow his journey—online and onstage.

Skybreak Drops “STONE KOLD” Featuring UK Mic Legend Subten

by Kristen Dutton Jun 18, 2025

Skybreak is making power moves in 2025. With his latest single “STONE KOLD,” the genre-smashing producer delivers a brutal yet melodic blow. It’s a sonic culture clash—where American dubstep muscle meets UK grime finesse. Now that the track has officially dropped, it’s already making waves from New York to London.

As a true product of dual citizenship, Skybreak continues to expand his ‘HALF BLOOD’ universe—where rave nostalgia, street-level grit, and futuristic sound design collide. “STONE KOLD” feels like a defining checkpoint in that journey. It’s explosive and raw, yet carefully woven with Skybreak’s signature melodic control. This is underground swagger with surgical precision.

The idea started with a chopped grime freestyle from Looperman. Fueled by inspiration, Skybreak quickly built the instrumental’s framework in a single creative sprint. From there, UK mic legend Subten stepped in—writing and recording his blistering vocals within a day. The result is pure synergy, sharpened to a knife’s edge. As Skybreak explains:

“While I showcased the more emotional side of this project with the first two singles, my goal with “STONE KOLD” was to make the hardest banger I could. But to me, this track is arguably the most notedly ‘HALF BLOOD’; it’s got the energy of an American dubstep tune but the groove of a dutty garage tune you’d hear in a 250 cap club in Edinburgh. This one’s gonna be staying in my sets for a long time.”

Visually and sonically, “STONE KOLD” hits like a magazine ripped to pieces and glued back with rage and reverence. The artwork leans into zine culture, mirroring the handmade chaos of early rave posters. And as if the rollout wasn’t bold enough, Skybreak lit up a Times Square billboard to cement the moment in bass history.

Skybreak, born Jack Ramsay, has never just released tracks—he builds immersive worlds. With ‘HALF BLOOD,’ he’s shifted toward a rawer, more grounded expression. This project reflects real experiences, deep cultural roots, and an artist evolving in real time.

Skybreak continues breaking boundaries across genres and geography. “STONE KOLD” isn’t just a new chapter—it’s a mission statement. With every drop, he’s not only expanding his universe—he’s reshaping the future of bass music itself.

Finnuh Breaks Barriers with Explosive New Single “10K”

by Kristen Dutton Jun 13, 2025

Finnuh is charging into the spotlight with his explosive new single, “10K.” The track doesn’t waste any time—it slaps. Gritty basslines and punchy rhythms make it a certified festival weapon. It’s fast, raw, and made to shake the rails.

Finnuh’s new single “10K” blends heavy basslines with crisp production. From the very first drop, “10K” demands attention and keeps listeners hooked. It’s a bold statement that showcases his growth as a producer. The momentum behind Finnuh isn’t just hype—it’s real and earned. Last month at EDC Las Vegas, two heavy-hitters backed his edits live. Excision dropped Finnuh’s bootleg of Space Laces – “Dominate,” and YDG followed suit, playing Finnuh’s VIP edit of Knock2 – “dashstar*,” which tore through the air like a warning shot.

Dubstep FBI has officially named Finnuh their “Most Wanted” after he won their DJ contest, securing a coveted slot at their Rampage Open Air stage takeover in Belgium. However, he’s no stranger to FBI operations, having previously been featured on their label, BIN. With inspiration drawn from Texas rap and hip-hop, Finnuh creates unique sounds that push the boundaries of bass music. Dubstep FBI continues their investigation into the filthiest beats, publishing the grimiest mixes, showcasing raw talent, and promoting artists chasing their dreams with relentless drive. They unite the scene through music, good vibes, and a shared love for heavy bass and self-expression. Committed to their community, Dubstep FBI creates a space to lean on—and Finnuh’s rise is proof that they uplift those who go all in.

The second track, “Mission Control,” pulses with experimental energy and a psychedelic groove. Wiggling rhythms, dub echoes, and live textures drive the momentum forward. Together, both tracks create a spiritual listening experience, crafted with care and intention. Bamboo says,

MUST DIE! Releasing “CHAOS” Remixes

by Erika Minnix Jun 11, 2025

MUST DIE! stands out as a bold force in bass music. He is returning with some exciting new releases: reimagined versions of his iconic anthem “CHAOS.” These two remixes are just the beginning, featuring contributions from renowned UK producer Flux Pavilion and DJ duo Kill Safari. The release of these “CHAOS” remixes marks the start of a summer-long series of sonic reworks, building up the anticipation for a complete remix package in July 2025.

Initially released in 2019, “CHAOS” quickly became a pivotal moment in MUST DIE!’s career and a landmark in modern dubstep. The single peaked at #1 on the Beatport Dubstep Top 100, with over nine million streams on Spotify alone. Recognized for its powerful sound design and dominance in live sets, the track marked a new era for MUST DIE!. It further solidified his status as a leading force in the evolution of bass music.

Flux Pavilion, a key figure in dubstep, presents an impressive rework that maintains the intensity of the original track while adding cinematic and emotional depth. This remix elevates “CHAOS” to new heights, providing a fresh perspective while still honoring the core energy that made it a staple in the scene. It strikes a balance between the raw aggression of the original and soaring melodic elements. All of this combines to create a nostalgic and innovative remix. 

Another prominent group within the dubstep scene delivers a fierce new take on the iconic track. The latest rework of “CHAOS” sees Kill Safari (Bro Safari and Kill The Noise) take the lead. They transform it into a darker, more rhythmically complex experience, producing an intense and unrelenting remix. This stands in stark contrast to Flux Pavilion’s melodic interpretation. The various remixes of “CHAOS” showcase the transformative power of music, demonstrating just how far this record can stretch across the bass music spectrum.

These are the first installment in a curated series of remixes from MUST DIE!’s catalog, culminating in the official CHAOS Remix EP, which will be released in July. Each artist presents their interpretation of the track’s iconic foundation, celebrating the original’s lasting impact while introducing its next chapter. Stream all versions of “CHAOS” on your favorite streaming platforms and prepare for a summer of chaos!

HEYZ “Feeds Ya Soul” With New Single

by Erika Minnix Jun 11, 2025

Iconic Canadian duo Zeds Dead‘s vibrant label, Deadbeats, demonstrates its commitment to innovation and artist empowerment by providing a platform for diverse and emerging voices in electronic music. The label goes beyond just music distribution; it fosters a community rooted in authenticity and artistic freedom. Championing the full spectrum of bass music infused with hip-hop, Deadbeats has attracted a diverse roster of artists, including HEYZ. HEYZ continues to push the boundaries of modern bass music with the release of his latest original track, “Feed Ya Soul.” It’s available now on Deadbeats and streaming on all music platforms!

HEYZ has confidently established himself with his innovative approach to bass music. “Feed Ya Soul” skillfully balances contemporary sounds with nostalgic elements. It showcases HEYZ’s unique combination of powerful percussion, mesmerizing low-end, and complex sound design. This distinctive sound reinforces his reputation as one of the most progressive talents in bass music. “Feed Ya Soul” is a testament to his artistic evolution and relentless dedication to creating a bold, distinctive sonic identity that captivates listeners and keeps them immersed in the HEYZ experience.

“So stoked to make my Deadbeats return with “Feed Ya Soul!” I’ve been in the kitchen a long time cooking this one up, adding a little spice here, some extra sauce there…now it’s finally time to set down the Michelin-worthy dish that all bass music connoisseurs deserve. Think of this as my “Oysters and Pearls” from The French Laundry’s legendary Thomas Keller; my signature dish if you will. What’s the difference, you ask? While Keller’s whimsically enduring approach to the familiar oyster interplays with the regality of tapioca pearls and caviar, my dish shoots it to you straight. A piping hot glizzy busting at the seams with flavor at your favorite fest on a summer’s day. The fuel you want, the fuel you need to keep raging. No frills, just thrills. Now’s your time to take a big bite, sink your teeth in, and feed ya soul.” – HEYZ

This release arrives as HEYZ gears up for a busy summer festival season, including his upcoming “HEYZ’d and Confused” tour.
