Truth

About

Truth, the New Zealand-based dubstep duo of Andre Fernandez and Tristan Roake, has carved a singular path in the bass music landscape, blending dark, atmospheric soundscapes with seismic low-end frequencies. Emerging in the late 2000s, their music is a haunting fusion of dubstep, hip-hop, and reggae, drawing inspiration from pioneers like Mala and Coki while forging a sound that is distinctly their own. With releases on iconic labels like Deep Medi Musik and their own imprint, Deep, Dark & Dangerous, Truth has become synonymous with the underground dubstep revival, delivering tracks that are as meditative as they are menacing. Their breakthrough came with the 2011 album *Puppets*, a masterclass in brooding basslines and intricate rhythms. Since then, they’ve toured globally, earning a cult following for their immersive live performances. Collaborations with artists like Youngsta, Alix Perez, and The Widdler have further cemented their status as genre stalwarts. Beyond music, Truth has cultivated a unique visual identity, often pairing their releases with surreal, dystopian artwork that mirrors their sonic aesthetic. In recent years, Truth has expanded their influence through their label, Deep, Dark & Dangerous, nurturing a new generation of bass music producers. Their 2023 EP *Acceptance* showcases their evolution, blending classic dubstep elements with experimental textures. As they continue to push boundaries, Truth remains a beacon of innovation in the ever-evolving world of electronic music.
