Vex'd - Cloud Seed (Planet Mu)

This is a collection of tracks and remixes produced by dubstep producers Vex'd (Jamie Teasdale and Roly Porter) in 2006 - 2007 prior to their parting ways to work independently.

King Midas Sound - Waiting for You (Hyperdub)

â€˜Waiting for Youâ€™ hit me like a wrecking ball this week through the headphones, a velveteen fist packed with longing, foreboding and sadness, delivered softly as a ghost.

Kevin Martinâ€™s elemental soundscape organically complements the beautiful vocals of Roger Robinson (and guest Hitomi) to create an austere yet riveting atmosphere. Its emotional quotient isnâ€™t easily dismissed; evocative, mesmerizing and intimate, it will get under your skin and leave its mark.
