Somewhere in the subterranean caverns of modern bass music, where the air tastes like blown speakers and bad decisions, Deep, Dark & Dangerous is still running the asylum. No daylight. No safety rails. Just concrete walls sweating condensation and the low-frequency pulse of imminent structural failure. Into this pit crawls Phydra, dragging a fresh two-track weapon labeled Menace / Buster.
“These tunes channel a combination of moments: A dark, packed, sweaty club night blended with that 4 am sound you hear off in the distance at a festival that lures you away from your campsite because the bass is too disgusting. As for thematic influences, like most of my releases, I tend to draw on my early media programming, such as anime and obscure video games. The attitude I strive to bring to my production is and has always been a sense of mean-spirited grit and unapologetic rage, breaking through my limits & seeking the unknowable type shit.” – Phydra
“Menace” opens like a door to a room you shouldn’t enter. Sub-bass rolls in slow and thick, like thunder underwater. The sound design is serrated metal—cold, sharp, deliberate. There’s patience here, the kind that makes a crowd lean forward before the floor drops out beneath them. When the final hit lands, it’s not just loud—it’s domination. A calculated threat delivered with a grin.
Flip it over and “Buster,” alongside fellow Portland resident Blanck, comes charging like a bar fight in slow motion. Distorted basslines swing with bad intentions. The groove is filthy, confrontational, and built to test speaker cones like stress fractures in a doomed bridge. This isn’t dance music. This is a controlled demolition.
Something about these tracks from Phydra just struck me as something quite unique and original. Not an easy feat these days! It was like a blend between some cutting edge sound design mixed with something Ed Rush and Optical might have cooked up in 1998. On the dancefloor and on the soundsystem.. the music thumps, and that’s what we are all about! – Tristan Roake (Deep, Dark & Dangerous / TRUTH)
Together, these tracks don’t just fill a room—they change its structural integrity. Phydra isn’t chasing trends or cheap theatrics. This is darkness with discipline. Weight with purpose. Danger by design.
Deep, Dark & Dangerous remains exactly what it promises: no mercy, no compromise, and absolutely no escape.
