Here is VIVEK's guest mix from MistaJam's 1xtra show earlier this week.  Representing the Deep Medi collective in Quest's absence, he delivered an hourlong mix of cerebral riddims from the labels vaunted catalogue as well as scattering in some forthcoming label material from himself.  Look out for VIVEK's 'EyesDown' EP dropping on Medi this May.  Tracklist TBA.

Benny ill & J. King - Lithium Soular (Deep Medi Musik 2010) from Deep Medi Musik on Vimeo.

The night that I first heard this release, I must have listened to both tunes on repeat for at least an hour without realizing it. With Deep Medi releases this is just something that we've all come to respect at this point, their constant output of music that you can completely immerse yourself in. You can always guarantee two quality tunes that are an experience to take in and listen to, whether eyes down in the club or just on a pair of headphones at home. Their latest release comes from Horsepower don Benny Ill & collaborative partner J.King with their debut 12" on the Medi label. Both tunes shy away from the foundational Horsepower garage sound with more of a half-step vibe, but when you really begin to isolate and appreciate all the different layers in the production, it's obvious that this isn't your average dubstep record. Nor are these your average dubstep producers. The release proves yet again that you can make dark and unsettling music without so much as a hint of NI's Brutal Electro patch or chainsaw mid-range.  Enjoy the incredible accompanying music videos directed by Brede Korsmo for Wicked Wax productions.
