Bringing the underground heat, it’s Rareman. 💣 A master of exclusive tunes and deep dubplate culture, his influences reach far beyond dubstep, infusing everything from reggae to Brazilian rhythms into his sound. 🎧 This one’s sure to be a journey.

----
Rareman (South Coast/London, UK)

Rareman is known for a stack of unreleased, sought-after tunes and VIPs. True to his name, it’s a rare occurrence to see his records pop up on Redeye or Beatport, making his appearances all the more special when it comes time for a release or to play live.

Some of the labels he’s released under include Juan Forte, Foundation Audio, and W.I.T.H. In his university days, Rareman frequented System nights at the Dome, DMZ, and Medi parties. These foundational outings inspired him to start crafting his own sound system-oriented music. Having played in bands and nurtured a musical background since his early teens, these experiences are intrinsic to the distinct nature of his sound.

In his own words: “All that stuff being run on dubplate at System made me wanna have a go at making my own tunes, after standing at the back of that party for years just taking it all in.” Rareman’s inspirations reach beyond dubstep, often drawing from reggae sound system nights, Brazilian music, soul, and hip hop to bring these textures and rhythms into his dubstep productions. This wide range of influences helps him craft a sound that truly stands out.

Coming through with serious vibes, it’s Truant. 🎛️ Known for his low-key approach but high-impact sound, this UK don has been holding it down on Rinse FM and vinyl alike. 🚨 Get ready for a deep dive into the underground.

----
Truant (London/Bristol, UK)

Truant has a reputation for being slightly elusive in the UK underground scene. With a humbly low profile, he’s captivated listeners with a true-to-the-sound disposition, which comes through in both his releases and his two-year running residency on Rinse FM. Both his vinyl releases and monthly Rinse shows have become staples in dubstep circles.

Truant has released on labels such as Juan Forte, W.I.T.H, and his own XPRS imprint. He is also known by his alias, Saturday Night Rush, under which he explores house, garage, and rave-influenced sounds. His style incorporates elements of breakbeat, garage, jungle, and early dubstep arrangements, keeping his sound rooted in the core of the underground.

Next up, we've got the one and only Sub Basics. 🎛️ Sub Basics isn’t afraid to take risks in the studio, and it shows. Whether it’s switching up BPMs or layering unexpected beats, his productions consistently bring something fresh to the table. 🔥 This one’s for the heads. 🌀

Sub Basics (Kent/Bristol, UK)

Sub Basics has released an astounding amount of work on some of the genre’s most renowned labels, including Juan Forte, Modern Hypnosis, Lion Charge, and Infernal Sounds, to name a few. What’s particularly striking is his ability to range BPMs and beat patterns, yet still create material that is distinctly his own.

Growing up on jump-up DNB and listening to liquid CD compilations from the likes of Hospitality, Sub Basics was already producing tracks at 13 years old. Some early inspirations for his signature sound include originators like Mala and Coki, along with the entire DMZ catalogue. Productions from 2562 and Martyn also played a large influence. To this day, Sub Basics heads to the studio with the mindset that “anything can happen, and the tune can go anywhere."

As we gear up for next week’s show, we’re stoked to introduce the legends, Leftlow. 🔊 Their heavyweight blend of deep bass and sharp sound design has made waves with iconic labels like System Music, Exit Records, and Juan Forte. This boundary-pushing duo knows how to deliver the goods. 👽

----
Leftlow (London, UK)

Leftlow brings a unique take on the early Dubstep sound, landing releases on heavy-hitting labels such as System Music, Juan Forte, and Exit Records. Their distinguished sound emphasizes the nuances of mid-range sound design, combining half-step beats with intricate layers that bridge the fast and slow, meditative and aggressive, landing somewhere in-between.

Their sound is inspired by jungle, DNB, half-time, and dubstep, creating the contemporary output of this dubbed-out, low-end-focused production duo. "We grew up together in the same area, building a friendship through school, going to nights out, and skateboarding for years. We both produce, so naturally we ended up making music together—mostly just to send to the DJs playing the nights we would frequent, hoping they’d play our tunes out. For example, 'Cluedub' was made just before we went to a HVYWGHT night. It got a solid reaction, which led to us being asked to do a System release. We didn’t even have a proper name back then, but this kick-started the Leftlow project and we took it from there."
