Deep Medi Musik 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime

Following closely in the footsteps of DEEP MEDi Releases Vol. 1', DEEP MEDi are delighted to announce the release of their second instalment in this retrospective series. Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 finished at the tale end of 2007 and delivers Quest and Silkie's first releases on the label alongside fellow Antisocial entertainment member Kromestar, DEEP MEDi regular and Japan's finest Goth-Trad, new boy Tunnidge and label owner and scene leader Mala (Digital Mystikz/DMZ).Beginning with a nod to the underlying roots of the label's foundations with two super-deep meditational cuts from Kromestar, Volume 2 tracks the early beginnings of Silkie and Quest's now infamous smooth, bumpin' gangster boogie vibes before Tunnidge takes us back to some pure sub frequencies and Goth-Trad delivers his trademark drum programming and unrivalled intensity. Mala rounds things up and once again reminds us of the heavy influence that sound system culture has on his and indeed the label's ethos.

Deep Medi Musik are delighted to announce the release of "Deep Medi Releases Vol.1" - a compilation showcasing the first five 12" releases from Mala's imprint. Kicking off a brand new series, "Deep Medi Releases Vol.1" features certified classic material from 2006-07 from the likes of Kromestar, Hijak (Skream's gifted older sibling), Digital Mystikz cohorts Mala and Coki, Loefah (DMZ) and Goth-Trad.

Legendary dub techno artist Paul St. Hilaire (AKA Tikiman) announces new collaborative album, marking 10 years of Kynant Records. Building on the success of Paul St. Hilaires landmark solo album for Kynant in 2023, w/ The Producers switches up the formula to pair St. Hilaire with a different producer on each track. Referencing fellow dub techno pioneers Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswalds acclaimed album w/ The Artists as Rhythm & Sound, St. Hilaire flips the concept to feature as the lone vocalist. Over the albums nine tracks, St. Hilaire offers a range of conscious song-writing and headtop musings, such as the spoken-word dread of Whats This or the sparse call-to-action of Send Them On. w/ The Producers is yet another essential record in St. Hilaires unmatched discography. The album marks 10 years of Kynant Records, with label owner Richard Akingbehin curating an eclectic but sonically connected group of producers. These include luminaries such as Digital Mystikz boss and dubstep trailblazer Mala, or the elusive Chain Reaction artist Shinichi Atobe. They sit alongside some of the most exciting names in recent electronic music - Batu, Gavsborg, Azu Tiwaline, Priori, Cousin, Russell E.L. Butler, Aurora Halal and DJ G - all of whom bring different elements of dub techno into their productions. w/ The Producers finds Kynant Records bridging the original voice of dub techno with the genres new wave. Its a statement of intent from the label, which began 10 years ago with deep, hypnotic techno and has veered gradually towards more dubwise sounds.
