2008 was my Dubstep era. What I loved about Dubstep (before it became the dirty word of Brostep) was its versatility. Coming from Ragga Jungle, which stood so far apart from most 4/4 genres, Dubstep gave me an access point into so many different spaces. At the lounge, I could play the chilled-out side. At the Reggae club, I could lean into the deep Dub. At the breaks club, I could bring the harder edges. There weren’t any Dubstep-specific venues in Seoul at the time — I might have been the only one playing it in the country — so I shoehorned myself into whatever nights I could.

During that time, I was in a relationship with Anna D — entrepreneur, voice actress, photographer, venue owner, DJ, and resident of We Love Techno at Joker Red, located in Seoul’s artsy Hongdae district. Anna invited me to contribute something unique: techno-inspired dubstep. I called it Dubstepno.

Rhodes Vibe was written specifically for that night, and more specifically for the mix handed out on CD at the door: We Love Dubstepno. It remains one of my favorite tracks I’ve ever produced. Just lovely, through and through.
