The theory that isolation breeds creativity has never been as apt as it is for Truth, a dubstep outfit hailing from one of the world’s most southern cities. What began as a musical experiment has now become something much more significant. A chance encounter with dubstep visionary Mala late in 2007 inspired the New Zealand trio, who have been working together for years, to try their hand at a new sound – one comprising serious sub bass and snares so nasty they make eyes water. Within days of slipping Mala (Digital Mystikz) a handful of tunes made in as many days, Truth had been signed to his label Deep Medi Musik – widely regarded as one the most progressive in the scene, alongside a cluster of highly respected artists including Loefah, Kromestar, Silkie & Quest and Goth Trad.

Truth’s style defies categorisation, encompassing an array of melodies and vocals within spacious beats that range from half-step stompers like ‘The Fatman’ to deeper tunes like ‘Stolen Children’. One common element underpins every track though: a heavy bassline riddim that lays sheer force on any system heavy enough to handle it.

In just a year, the sound of Truth has spread across the world. ‘The Fatman’ has been pulled back countless times in numerous cities, from Dubwar at Club Love in New York, to Sonar in Barcelona, to Mass in Brixton – the home of dubstep’s seminal club night, DMZ.

Today, in a scene that is defined by dubplate culture, some of its biggest players are dropping Truth dubs in their sets including Mala, Skream, DMZ, and Goth Trad, to name a few. Nick Argon is flying the flag in LA, while Skream is showcasing their beats in his legendary sets and on his notorious Rinse FM radio show Stella Sessions. Watch out for the 12” Vinyl release on Deep Medi Musik (DM014) out soon!

Undertows tunes have been gaining global momentum recently, with a forthcoming 12" on a UK label, alongside Bassweight Recordings in Wellington and also his own imprint Blambox Audio. His tunes are receiving DJ support from the likes of N-Type, Joe Nice, Komonazmuk etc alongside radio play up and down the country. Keep an ear out for his debut EP on Blambox Audio early in the New Year alongside a ltd edition vinyl release.

Blackplanet is Joe and Caleb, two brothers from Queenstown-NZ creating and performing supersonic,futuristic,soul,breakbeat,drum n' bass,chaos, typically all done live. This night will bring the boys over to perform a DJ set, with many of the tunes being exclusive cuts off their debut EP forthcoming on Blambox Audio in Feb 09. These guys have played alongside the likes of Shapeshifter, Klute, Concord dawn, Black Sun Empire, The Upbeats, Pitch Black, and many more.
