Claybrook’s “CONFLICT” Erupts on Port Zero’s ‘Shipment Vol. 3’

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.

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

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”

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.

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.

Now’s your time to take a big bite, sink your teeth in, and feed ya soul.” – HEYZ
