v.i.v.e.k with more dubstep madness

having carved a niche for himself over recent years with numerous prime quality and cavernously deep releases on malas infallable deep medi imprint, v.i.v.e.k. now turns his dub-wise talents to present this impeccible single for tectonic.

this is v.i.v.e.ks 2nd release of 2012 and the follow up to soundman/diablo also on medi. 2012 has been a great year for vivek, it has seen him start his new club night system alongside mala and friends which is powered by viveks very own soundsystem, three years in the making and for those that have been to the dance, they can testify to the weight! >out of reach< is a classic vivek production and pure soundsystem music already putting viveks system to the test, powerful lurching half-step groove, unforgiving bass with a truly dark industrial tension. >kismet (destiny)< leans heavily towards viveks eastern influence with its pray like chanting, shuffling tabla percussion and evocative effects.

v.i.v.e.k.s long awaited second ep and 4th release on malas deep medi imprint comes in the form of the >eyes down ep<. the ep starts off where >pulse< finished with the powerful >big bang<, another club favourite and sound system tune full of pulsating sub weight, cold snares and a uneasy sense of dread. >spread love< lightens the mood and sees v.i.v.e.k channel his production talents into a laid back, dreamy, engaging groove, perfect for summer. >sirens< swiftly moves in and heads straight for the jugular upping the tempo steppers style! with its pulsating b-line, subtle percussion and mesmerizing dubbed out horns, this one keeps you locked. v.i.v.e.k keeps the title track till last with the highly magnetic and haunting >eyes down>. eyes down has a real cinematic feel and real tension about it that wouldnt feel out of place in a hollywood blockbuster. dark, moody, sparse and as expected serious bass weight! people have to feel it!

the latest release on malas deep medi imprint is a four track double pack vinyl. it comes on the back of his first medi release last year >kulture< b/w >meditation rock< and countless dubplates that you will no doubt have heard if you have checked the anti social entertainment on rinse fm. fusing digidub, sound system deep bass, rolling percussion, a hint of berlin techno it all adds up to those medi style vibes, eyes down, blissed out, heavy weight music.

v.i.v.e.k drops his first single since his much talked about double pack ‘feel it’ was released on deep medi in october 2010. ‘pulse’ opens with v.i.v.e.k’s unmistakable dark, resounding, industrial production with layers of subbed out techno touches and efx. ‘roots’ however on the flip lurches and twists over a deep cinematic melody, v.i.v.e.k on meditation vibes.
