Make no bones about it, Mala's Deep Medi label is a true bastion of dubstep. Since kicking off in 2006, the imprint has been a haven for experimentation, heralding artists — including the likes of Pinch, Swindle and Silkie — intent on tugging the foundations of dub sound in new directions (implementing grime, jazz and other elements along the way).

The Medi motor is still firing deep into 2015, having recently ushered in MEDiLP011 — a collaborative effort from Kahn, Commodo and Gantz. So what better time to bring the family together again after four years of BR silence?

Mala is joined by a line-up of heavyweight BR debutants: Kahn and Neek come as Gorgon Sound, Gantz makes the trip over from Turkey, and Dubkasm from Bristol. All powered by the robust Sinai sound system.

Expect a truckload of dubplates and exclusives. Keep your Medi deep indeed.

A dubstep legend roars back.

When dubstep ruled the roost in the late '00s, electronic music had no shortage of icons and spinoff variants to rally around. But one rumble from  Bristol stood out: the Purple sound. Popularised by Joker, AKA Liam Mclean, with Guido and Gemmy in support, it hit like a beam of bright light flooding through the basement dank.

When America cottoned onto bass quakes in the next decade, Mclean's taste for chiptune-coded synths and maximum intensity kept his vision alive at arena level, even while he retreated from view as an actively touring performer.

In 2023, "Tears," a collaboration with Skrillex and Sleepnet, helped remind the world just how much Joker's juddering sound could put us in a headlock. True to form, this year's gargantuan "Juggernaut"—Mclean's first solo single in six years—crashes through the speakers with as much glorious crunch as earlier classics like 2009's "Purple City."

Mclean has kept busy in the studio applying his perfectionist streak as a producer and engineer to many sound system anthems, which means his influence is never far from a dance floor being turned inside out. The fact that Joker had never laid down an RA Podcast before was, being honest, a blemish in our copybook. RA.962 fixes that in style.
