V.I.V.E.K returns for his last output of 2011 and what a year it’s been for him. His set with Goth-Trad at the DMZ 6th Birthday is being hailed as one of the sets of 2011 this was quickly followed by Vivek being signed to booking agents ESP. His release’s this year as you would expect have been heavyweight, Pulse & Roots (Medi037) followed by his immense EP ‘Eyes Down’ (Medi042) featuring Big Bang, Spread Love, Sirens and of course Eyes Down. It was after this release that he received a call from original Reggae dons Greensleeves and was asked if he would be interested in remixing the Roots/Reggae classic Johnny Osbourne – ‘Fally Ranking’ for a forthcoming compilation, he obliged and turned out an incredible remix with a heavy nod to the old skool Steppa’s and one of his musical heroes Jah Shaka.
So back to the release in hand, we hope you have a good set of Sub’s because you’re going to need them…. ‘Soundman’ is as dark and cold as it gets, a hard, minimal underground riddim charged with some intricate Techno running’s and a suffocating density ‘Diablo’ starts where ‘Soundman’ left off, more relentless dark, subbed out chest rattling tension from the Soundsystem man V.I.V.E.K.
