Crate Report — June 10, 2026
The 140 underground had one of those weeks where the dubs do the talking. DUPLOC quietly confirmed why they own the lane: a Ternion Sound cut called "Airlock" landed today on the //010 XXL series, and the two clips before it — Pharma's "Dem Move VIP" and ColtCuts & CØNTRA's "Lockup," both tagged forthcoming on the VA010 compilation — are already getting festival-receipt comments. Someone under the Pharma clip wrote "this absolutely ripped at Infra," which is about as strong a field test as a dub gets. Pharma's having a moment: Deep Tempo also liked an unreleased clip of his ("Violate") this spring. Two tastemakers circling the same artist is usually the tell.
The crossover story of the week is Flava D, SKALAH & D Double E — "Different" on Maraki. It showed up three times in one scan: Deep Tempo liked it, it anchors Deep Tempo S08 EP05, and it's sitting at #4 on the Beatport 140 chart. Grime royalty on a deep 140 chassis — that's a set weapon, not just a stream. Same pattern, slightly smaller: SHOSH & Rhiannon Roze "Hot" and the Distinct Motive remix of "OMG" both appear in Deadbeats #374 and the Beatport top 10. And "Shatter" by Sempa & FSHR (ft. Trilla) doubled up between the Deep Tempo episode and the chart. When the radio shows and the charts agree, buy the tune.
Underdog to champion: Cessman. London producer, 3,868 SoundCloud followers, been around since the early days judging by the user ID, and he just dropped an hour of entirely unreleased material — the "Barometric Mix," 18 of his own dubs, posted Monday and liked by Deep Tempo within hours. "Murderers," "Busted," and "Gurkha VIP" are the standouts on title alone, and the comments are all heat. Nobody's championing him at scale yet. That's the gap a curator fills. Reach out, play the dubs, get the first look.
Also in small-artist territory: togeki, who put a six-track EP ("Gargoyle") out on SubCarbon — Ganja White Night's label betting a full EP on a low-profile wobble artist is a real co-sign, and the SUBPLEX "WOW!" in the comments doesn't hurt.
Outlier of the week — Amor Satyr (via TETE VIDE, Paris). Here's the new-sound rabbit hole: Deep Tempo, of all accounts, liked a Dangermami track on TETE VIDE, a Paris "multi-genre electronic" collective (20k followers) whose whole catalog is wonky speed garage, Latin club, and bass-adjacent percussion workouts. Their newest upload is Amor Satyr & Yunk's "Oxi Doki." Amor Satyr sits at that 140-ish tempo with swung, club-leaning drums — close enough to the 140 lane to mix, foreign enough to feel brand new. Start with "Oxi Doki," then the Mud System V/A compilation on their Bandcamp. If it lands, the French wonky-garage scene is a whole continent to dig.
IDs to chase. Top of the list: whatever STVSH is — four slots in a single Deadbeats episode (FRICTION, GOOD TIME, LOSE CONTROL, TAKE CARE) is album-rollout behavior, none of it on stores yet. Vyhara "Telling You" is the one the Deadbeats comments are hunting ("ID 9:30" maps right onto its 08:58 slot). From the Deep Tempo episode: Obskure's "War Wid Us" is listed as straight DUB, L-Wiz "Konsum" has no label at all, Kyber "Still" is tagged DUPLOC but hasn't surfaced on the label's page, and the outro — a Joe Nice remix of "Mo Pi" — carries a very promising "Forthcoming???". Reap_Eat's Fresh Produce 227 ("Currents") says tracklist coming soon, so that one goes on the watch line for next week.
Spotify's rolling Xanz Weekly Heaters got 14 adds this week spanning 140, halftime DnB, and trap-side bass. The Cessman dubs and the DUPLOC forthcomings are SoundCloud-only for now — which is exactly why they're worth chasing.
