Memories / Raw Take 2 (Live Dub Practice #4)

🔊 A battered speaker on wheels, pushin’ heavy bass through fog and incense — wired to the ancestors, powered by righteous love and outlaw frequencies.

LSD RHYTHM FORCE is the Dub ‘n Bass live music project by Fer Steady, a.k.a. Steady Riddim, a.k.a. Monkie Noise, a.k.a. Le Fanu, a.k.a. Meusek — a Mexican-born nomadic dubmaker with roots deep in the concrete and cornfields of La Pradera Town, South Tultitlán, Estado de México.

Raised among the sounds of street techno and barrio rap, Steady’s earliest sonic memories come from hard-hitting mixtapes by local giants like Polymarchs and Winners, blasting out of family gatherings and street stalls. Cassettes carrying the fire of crews like Control Machete and Tiro de Gracia lit the fuse for a lifelong journey through music, dance, paint, and poetry.

What began as breakdancing and graff in the early 2000s soon morphed into rhyme-writing, cyphering, and raw DIY recordings on boombox tapes. With no budget but full heart, he filled entire 90-minute cassettes with lo-fi bars — each one a blueprint of resistance and identity.

Immersed in the rising Mexa Hip Hop scene — from freestyle sessions with ESC and Líderes Lokales to his own beat experiments on early FL Studio — Steady forged his sound from scratch. Years of experimentation took him through Doble Ele Crew, Jah Lions SS, and the Rock Steady Team, until in 2013, his compass pointed fully to Dub and Bass Music — not just as sound, but as spiritual technology.

For Steady, dub is more than a genre — it’s a way of living and resisting, rooted in Jamaican sound system culture, Mexican oral tradition, and a DIY anarchist ethic. He sees bass as a healing force, a bridge between the personal and the political, between the street and the spirit. His soundscapes echo with the memory of the ancestors, the struggle of the barrios, and the hope of future rebel generations.

Now based in South London, Steady runs a DIY netlabel called
#LoveSound&DistortionRec, pushing cultural resistance through echo, delay and distortion — fusing urban dub, garage, roots and spoken word into live performances that hit as deep as they uplift.

His live sets, performed with portable sound systems, are not just shows — they’re sonic rituals, a call to memory and movement, a celebration of brown futurism and outlaw love.
