If you wanna be a word nerd about it, truth is a judgement, proposition, or idea generally accepted by the global human community to be factually proven and reality tested. Like, Bass is bad for your health. But it’s good for your ass. Or, Dubstep kills crappy parties.

And now they zip between continents, invading clubs, seizing decks, terrorizing dance-floor dwellers, exploding eardrums, and routinely laying waste to high-end sound systems.

Indeed, Truth is a brutal crew. Tracks like “Stranger Than Fiction” and “Wednesday” might induce spastic, puking fits of uncontrollable blackout fun. And that’s the truth about Truth: It will hurt you. But you will like it.

Truth with Juan Basshead, Goodroid, Dave Betamax, and others as part of Shake’s monthly Get Low dubstep party. Thursday, May 12. The Vagabond, 30 NE 14th St., Miami. The fits begin at 10 p.m. and tickets cost $10 via wantickets.com/vagabond. Call 305-379-0508 or visit thevagabondmiami.com.
