In a week that hasn't been without drama, you could possibly be forgiven for forgetting that NZ's all-conquering dubstep heroes, Truth, released their debut album this week. Consisting of 15 tracks of their unique bassweight compositions, this is definitely in the running to be one of the best dubstep albums of the year. Never mind the chainsaw ear-rape, this is dubstep at its roots. With the album's release this week and ahead of their launch gig at Sandwiches this weekend, Matty Baseline took some time to run some questions by the trio.

Backspacer are turning 6! After that many years putting on some of the biggest names in Drum and Bass in Wellington and across NZ, they are hosting another top international DJ/Producer to celebrate their milestone.

ShockOne - one of Australias finest DnB exports - is to headline a whole host of talented locals, on Saturday the 11th of September @ Sandwiches, Wellington.
