Youngsta is one of dubstep’s most foundational figures, an integral force in shaping the genre from its earliest days at iconic club night FWD>>. A specialist through and through, he’s stayed true to the sound throughout its evolution, pushing the original minimalist style that’s now seeing a resurgence in interest.

Alongside his On Cue mix of stripped-back dubstep “ammunition”, he speaks to DJ Mag’s Rob McCallum about how the sound came to be, the vital impact of his sister, Sarah, his struggles with addiction, and his hopes for the future.

Kryptic Minds - Studio Mix - May 2009

A student of eminent systems such as Aba Shanti and Jah Shaka, V.I.V.E.K has been immersed in sound system culture since his earliest musical footsteps.

Craftsmanship, unity and culture are the three strongest frequencies that resonate through every role V.I.V.E.K plays in UK bass music and contemporary dub culture: Artist, label owner, deep-drawing world-touring selector and the man behind one of London’s most important dances, SYSTEM.

V.I.V.E.K'S craftsmanship is something you'll notice through this offering for our 2019 mix series. 

You'll feel it before you hear it; join us for SYSTEM in the Moat at Outlook 2019 - the final fort.
