Deep Medi Musik

V.I.V.E.K. follows up his sterling work on the 'Eyes Down' doublepack and that Johnny Osborne version for Greensleeves with two stripped down and purposeful riddims. A-side 'Soundman' plays on a dread, minimal halfstep flex with subtle Techno elements, while B-side delivers the payload of 'Diablo', all arcing sci-fi synthlines and crushing subbass intensity accentuated by toiling snares.

Cyrus is a true pioneer and veteran of the Dubstep scene and has been around since its inception releasing various singles from as far back as 2004 on Pinchs Tectonic label, Southside Dubstars, Distances mighty Chestplate label and of course his own imprint Random Trio Productions under Random Trio and Cyrus. Cyruss album >From The Shadows< on Tectonic released in 2007 was one of the first Dubstep long players and featured stone cold Dubstep minimal classic >Indian Stomp< which was also picked up and featured in hit Hollywood movie >Children of Men< alongside Digital Mystikz and Kode9.

Machine-tooled Dubstep mysteries from Deep Medi, delivering the 2nd Old Apparatus session. It may or not be Mala behind this, we couldn't confirm, but in place of personal identities we find some fairly massive sounds. The A-side 'Zebulon' strikes a fine equilibrium between plunging, hollowed subs, shattering aerial snares and bewitching folk vocal, ultimately sounding like an updated Vex'd line-stepping with Clouds at the village hop, circa 2020.
