Todays electronic music scene revolves continuously on hype, and there are few artists and label camps that can rely almost entirely on their musical content to do their talking. Mala’s ‘Deep Medi’ camp and V.I.V.E.K the artist are noted exceptions to this rule.
V.I.V.E.K’s sound is his own. An amalgamation of dubbed out dread bass, singed with jungle vibrations and detroit tech. His music has an overpowering physicality to it; to hear is to feel. Influenced by the golden years of Drum N Bass and a steady diet of dub and roots music, V.I.V.E.K has been honing his musical construction skills since 2004. His rise to prominence started with the ‘FEEL IT EP’
This 4 track EP captured his vision succinctly and solidified V.I.V.E.K’s reputation as one of the most talented artists working in the 140 framework today. This year a new chapter has begun with V.I.V.E.K starting a new night with Mala called SYSTEM. The night is solely based around a soundsystem V.I.V.E.K has been building over the last 4 years. People who have been have testified to not hearing anything like it. Chest rattling, consciousness moving exclusives are the norm during a V.I.V.E.K set, and catching one of his performances is a potent reminder of why we all fell in love so deeply with the dubstep sound.
