10 Essential Tracks from the 140 Scene This Week

The 140 scene continues to be one of the most interesting spaces in bass music right now, constantly pulling from dubstep, grime and soundsystem culture while leaving plenty of room for experimentation.

This week’s selection brings together a strong mix of established names and emerging producers, with music from Beanie & SHOSH, Jadon Woods, SPLATA, WESTB, Klinical, Wolf’d, Gordo Dubz, BRAINWAVEZ, vvhite, Censored The Audio, Fake Two Piece and Mucky Update.

From underground discoveries to artists already building serious momentum within the scene, these are the names that stood out to us across this week’s 140 releases.

Here are EDM Army’s Top 10 Tracks of the Week.

1. SHOSH & BEANIE — Villain

SHOSH

American-born DJ and producer SHOSH has built her identity by connecting UK and US club culture, first establishing herself within UK Garage before pushing deeper into dubstep and the 140 spectrum. After taking her UKF debut This Is Not a Test to the top of Beatport's Dubstep chart and bringing her sound to stages including Rampage, Shambhala and Breakaway, Villain continues that heavier evolution while retaining the UK-rooted character behind her music.

BEANIE

UK artist, songwriter and vocal producer BEANIE brings a different dimension to Villain, shaped by a genre-fluid style that pulls from the feel-good rush of early-2000s rave culture alongside modern hard dance, techno, happy hardcore, drum & bass, hyperpop and dubstep. Her ability to move between those worlds gives the collaboration its vocal personality while fitting naturally into SHOSH's increasingly bass-driven direction.

2. Jadon Woods — Oh Ya

Jadon Woods

Jadon Woods keeps both his personality and presentation deliberately unpredictable — his own description simply reads, “I’m built different (incorrectly).” That attitude makes Oh Ya an interesting entry in this week's selection: rather than arriving behind an extensive artist story, the record becomes the introduction itself, putting Woods on the radar as another emerging producer worth watching as the new generation of 140 continues to take shape.

3. SPLATA — COME WITH ME

SPLATA

SPLATA is the chaotic alter ego of Tristan ChantZ, created as an outlet for the producer's heavier bass instincts. Where ChantZ explores groove and tech-house, SPLATA dives into distortion, aggressive bass design and a collision of Wubstep with what he calls “BnD,” his own deeper interpretation of drum & bass. COME WITH ME lands directly inside that universe, channeling the project's raw low-end philosophy and kinetic approach to bass music.

4. WESTB — Friction

WESTB

WESTB enters this week's selection with Friction, a 140 BPM cut released through POV Audio. With limited background information publicly available around the producer, the focus here stays where it should: on the music. Friction becomes an introduction to WESTB rather than another chapter in an established story, highlighting exactly what these weekly selections are built for — finding records and artists emerging from deeper corners of the 140 underground.

5. Klinical — 2003

Klinical

Klinical has long operated within the deeper reaches of bass music, and 2003 sees the producer stepping firmly into the 140 conversation. Rather than feeling disconnected from the darker, precision-driven approach associated with his work, the track gives that identity a different framework, showing how naturally established bass producers can move through the increasingly open space between dubstep, soundsystem music and the wider 140 spectrum.

6. Wolf’d & Gordo Dubz — Uncompromising

Wolf’d

Chicago-based producer Oliver Wolf has spent two decades around music, beginning as a vocalist and violinist before moving behind the decks and eventually into electronic production. As Wolf’d, he channels that experience into a gruff, soundsystem-focused approach that has taken his music to labels including Deep Dark & Dangerous. Uncompromising is particularly important to his story with Gordo Dubz: the track became the starting point for a creative partnership that eventually developed into their collaborative Power of Hearing EP.

Gordo Dubz

Gordo Dubz represents the other half of the partnership behind Uncompromising, bringing his own production approach into a collaboration that ultimately grew far beyond a single record. What started with this track developed over roughly two years into the Power of Hearing EP, with both producers shaping their individual ideas into a shared sound. That makes Uncompromising more than a standalone release — it captures the moment the creative relationship between Gordo Dubz and Wolf’d truly began.

7. BRAINWAVEZ — Microphone

BRAINWAVEZ

Costa Rican producer Ariel Benavides, better known as BRAINWAVEZ, has steadily pushed his bass-heavy sound onto an international stage. His music has reached festivals including Shambhala, Lost Lands, EDC Las Vegas and Burning Man while drawing support from artists such as Zeds Dead, Alison Wonderland, ATLiens, Excision and Subtronics. With releases across Subsidia, Circus, Cyclops, Drama Club and SubCarbon already behind him, Microphone brings that growing catalog into the 140 space and adds another heavyweight bass influence to this week's picks.

8. vvhite — Desolation

vvhite

vvhite lands in this week's selection with Desolation, a release positioned firmly within the 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime spectrum. With little reliable biographical information publicly available about the producer, Desolation becomes the point of introduction — a reminder that some of the most interesting discoveries in underground bass music still arrive through the track first and the story later.

9. Censored The Audio & Fake Two Piece — Meet u

Censored The Audio

With roots in Puerto Rico, Censored The Audio has developed a growing presence across electronic and bass music through international performances and releases connected to labels including Rebel Music, Incurzion Audio, Redacted, Lafyte Records and Off-License Records. His work has also reached platforms including UKF and VISION Radio. On Meet u, that forward-thinking approach enters a collaborative space with Fake Two Piece, with the track itself earning a play on VISION Radio and extending CTA's reach deeper into the international bass community.

Fake Two Piece

Fake Two Piece joins Censored The Audio on Meet u, bringing another emerging voice into the increasingly fluid world surrounding contemporary 140. Released through Wormhole Music Group, the collaboration has already found its way onto VISION Radio, placing Fake Two Piece alongside some of bass music's most forward-thinking names. With limited biographical material surrounding the project, Meet u serves as a strong introduction and a reason to keep the name on the radar.

10. Mucky Update — Arcades In Clubs

Mucky Update

Mucky Update closes this week's selection with Arcades In Clubs, released through Truth's Deep Dark & Dangerous imprint. The track arrives as part of a new run of material from the producer on the influential bass label, alongside cuts including Ready to Fly, Robodril, SpaceTimeDimension and Dubtron. With Arcades In Clubs landing directly in Beatport's 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime ecosystem, Mucky Update provides a fitting final stop for a week defined by both established soundsystem influence and new underground discoveries.

Instagram: @muckyupdate

The strength of the 140 scene right now lies in exactly this kind of range. Established bass producers are moving into the space alongside new aliases, international talent and artists whose music is only beginning to reach wider audiences.

From SHOSH and BEANIE bridging rave culture with modern dubstep to Wolf’d and Gordo Dubz building a full collaborative project from Uncompromising, and newer discoveries like WESTB and vvhite letting their records introduce them first, this week's selection shows just how broad the 140 spectrum has become.

We'll be back next week with another ten tracks pushing the scene forward.
