Ben Smith aka Spacematters was introduced to drum and bass in the early 2000s by close friend Bangaz. Not long after, he teamed up with a crew of like-minded heads—Darg, Mullet, Fog, and Luckman—to form 2FG, making their mark at gigs across New Zealand’s South Island.

By the mid-2000s, Spacematters began crafting his own beats, drawing heavy influence from artists like Loxy, Pessimist, The Untouchables and a solid network of producers , his sound evolved with a clear focus: pushing the darker, deeper, and more underground realms of DnB.


Spacematters continues to champion the raw edge of drum and bass, staying true to the roots while forging ahead with a forward-thinking approach to sound.

Soul Deep Exclusives and Vectasonic are proud to announce the release of the Silence EP, which is now available in all major digital stores and streaming sites!  The British producer returns to Soul Deep with another slick offering of smooth Liquid Drum & Bass.  Vectasonic’s signature sound can be found throughout the release, which boasts chunky breaks, soothing atmospheric pads, pretty female vocals hooks, and some mid-bass growls to balance out the tracks.  “Mobius,” is one of the standout tracks from the release, as it unleashes a classic Amen break, and pairs it with a heavy sub bassline, dubby guitar licks, and ethereal female vocal samples.  This one sounds like an instant classic, inspired by the golden era of late 90’s Drum & Bass.  If you like that classic sound that pays homage to the pioneers of the sound, then you’re going to love this EP!

INK : The story so far......

An architect first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink... 

The year is 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genres forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-It is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence, This is music to a budding Dj Ink's ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark. 

First begins the Pirate radio circuit. Working hard at his craft and allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware. Ink would go onto form his own imprint- Architecture Recordings, releasing anthems from himself and various crew members, bringing through new talent and the cream of the heavy hitters within drum n bass. If you're familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you're not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the impact they have had. Renegade Hardware & Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time.

Essential work includes 'The 50th (Blueprint)' (1st Drum and Bass/Jungle tune selected live by a dj (LTJ Bukem) on BBC Radio 1 essential DnB show ever!) and "Altitude" on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory EP’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves. 

The now famous "Horsemen" project was a concept headed up by Ink, Loxy, Dylan & Keaton. Originally formed due to the affinities amongst the original four, the crew went onto bring together producers from all over the globe under the "Horsemen" banner- beat makers who have been inspired by the foundations laid down by The Four Horsemen went on to receive acclaim from critics and music buyers alike.

Ink has a number of long players under his belt, to select a few In chronological order these are - Incision and Can You Draw Sound for Architecture Recordings, Hard Soul w/ Perpetuum for Colours Audio and: The Last Scroll for Renegade Hardware. In more recent events we have "The Tree & The Wind" by INK & SIN also on Architecture Recordings.  With these credits to his name it is fair to say INK continues to make his mark on DnB.
