A rallying cry from BIN to the global bass scene: Dubstep isn’t confined by geography or genre lines — it’s a shared language, spoken loudly and with purpose.

Dubstep FBI’s forward-thinking imprint, Beat Intelligence Network (BIN), is back on the offensive with its next high-stakes operation: Audio Surveillance 002.

This hard-hitting, 14-track compilation is a statement from the next generation of dubstep innovators around the world.

With contributors spanning the United States, UK, Brazil, France, Belgium, Hungary, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and beyond, Audio Surveillance 002 is a testament to the genre’s global reach.

BIN is uniting emerging talent under one banner, and defining what modern dubstep means. This release is built for rail warriors, after-hours heads, and bass connoisseurs alike.

Artist Intel: Inside the compilation

Versa (USA) opens with Shield Dance, a chaotic, yoi-driven heater anchored by a sick vocal chop. As one of BIN’s founding artists, his return marks a full-circle moment following his Club Studio Time debut. More recently, he dropped this song to a crowd of hungry riddim rats in Monchengladbach, Germany for the BASSBOX x Dubstep FBI x Riddim NYC takeover.

“I had that vocal sitting on my hard drive for a while and knew it’d be perfect for something chaotic,” Versa said.

Sanzu & PROXXXY (USA) go full throttle on HACKBLADE, a razor-sharp cut fusing groove-heavy riddim with blistering aggression. After features of both artists on Riot Control Radio, this pairing felt inevitable — and lethal.

Jub (UK) crafted SOUTHERN QUARTER as a "cheeky DJ tool," but it evolved into a fully polished anthem. Fans' thirsts were quenched when he dropped a double of this at the Dubstep FBI stage at Rampage Open Air.

Skxlvtor & Lev3l (USA) unleash ENDGAME, channeling theatrical build-ups and devastating drops. It is the final boss fight dubstep was waiting for, and Lev3l told us that the vocals are an ode to Yu-Gi-Oh.

Goat Dubz (Hungary) stuns with Bloodline, blending orchestral drama with punishing sound design — a highlight entry from the Rampage Open Air 2025 mix contest and a longtime bootleg favorite on SoundCloud. The song has already amassed 3,000 plays via the Dubstep uNk premiere in less than 24 hours.

“This track emerged from an intensive creative process combining experimental sound design with orchestral stuff,” Goat Dubz said.

IITYX (Belgium) drops heartsick, a raw, emotional hybrid that melds riddim structure with melodic weight. It's heavy, heartfelt and powerful. He too dropped this anthem on the Storm Stage at Rampage Open Air during the Dubstep FBI takeover.

“The song was originally an experiment where I tried to do a heavy dubstep song with some riddim synths, got the main idea down in an afternoon after feeling inspired and the rest of the song wrote itself pretty much!” IITYX said.

JETFAZE (France) returns to BIN with KUKAN, the crushing follow-up to his Audio Surveillance 001 debut BLEUE that has been doing numbers. This is a sharper, darker statement from the rising French producer.

Sythyst & Motar (USA, Ecuador) team up for Final Fight, a cinematic weapon forged from shared vision and emotional firepower.

"We wanted it to feel like the soundtrack to your last stand, that moment where you dig deep and refuse to fold," Sythyst said. "The riddim backbone gave it power, and the way our styles collided made the whole thing feel alive, like a real fight unfolding through sound."

We love to see their intercontinental vision come to life.

WARLORD (USA) brings unorthodox rhythm and pure swagger on JOUNCE [FLOWSEIDON’S LAIR] — a gritty, stripped-down bouncer unlike anything else in the BIN arsenal.

"For JOUNCE, I wanted to do something more minimal and barebones while still achieving a unique flow and bounce I like to incorporate in my music," WARLORD said.

NGHTKLR & Soul Valient (Mexico, Peru) combine forces on IGNITION, a Latin American power collab packed with euphoric leads, explosive drops and regional flavor — and has been heavily supported in LAYZ’s recent sets.

“IGNITION is part of the many collaborations I have right now with NGHTKLR,” Soul Valient said. “This one combines euphoria with melodic elements, in between powerful drops highly oriented to dubstep, and at the same time, respecting that characteristic sound that both of us usually apply :D”

MIDROLL (USA) pulls from his gaming obsession for AFTERLIFE, a dark riddim stomper laced with haunting detail and slow-burning tension.

“Its themed around Call of Duty Zombies, something I've enjoyed since childhood,” MIDROLL said. "Inspired by producer AD, this one’s dark, deliberate, and addictive."

JG Dubz (Brazil) delivers Lurker, an atmospheric riddim track inspired by a particularly trippy viewing of Shutter Island. It’s dark, ominous and deeply immersive.

"I was high as hell watchin Shutter Island and decided to make that dark atmospheric og type of riddim," JG Dubz said.

Jonter (USA) describes Dystopian as a fusion of sci-fi elements and aggressive, high-energy drops — showcasing a bold new sound he's developing for 2025.

“I wanted to convey a combination of atmospheric sounds that would make you feel like you’re in another world or in another mood, combining sci-fi and, at the same time, aggressive, energetic drops, while also combining my new style that I’m bringing for 2025,” Jonter said.

VEXUS (USA) closes the project with RUPTURE — a cathartic, emotionally raw track crafted during recovery from ruptured eardrums. It's both a return to form and a bold evolution of his sound.

“I made this shortly after one of the scariest four months of my life — I ruptured both of my eardrums and couldn’t make music that whole time,” VEXUS said. “I started the track while healing, and finished it right after I was cleared to produce again. That’s why it’s called Rupture, lol.”
