“I’m super proud to be sharing my new EP ‘Altitude’ with you all via DEEP MEDi. 

Each track has its own personality and purpose within my DJ sets; pace, weight, even a breather and peak set business with ‘Dem God’! 

I really feel like they’re my favourite 4 releases so far! 

Such a special personal moment to be able to showcase my different styles of production for a label like DEEP MEDi. 

Hope you enjoy my label debut!”

After moving from Italy to Bristol, UK in 2018, the cities vibrant music community lead her to the 140 and dubstep scene where she's created a foothold for her innovative sound.

With her EP „LAZY“, PRIMETIMEGABI puts the focus on her roots and presents her musical debut on YUKU in an unexpected way with halftime and doubletime beats that are underpinned by a journey through dreamy nature. 
Produced with machines, the sound of the L A Z Y EP is dominated by bass-heavy kicks, authentic percussions with drive and a laid back coolness.

In keeping with her way of not taking herself too seriously, she plays with rhythms, breaks & melodies that don't lose any energy even though they are partly half-time.

The energy is real - keep it simple.

The third episode in our new series (and our 40th podcast!) comes from Lyon based Comic Sans Records label-head and lyl radio resident, sleek fata. 

@sleek-fata

We've been a fan of sleek fata for a while now, often tuning into his exquisitely put together "Cremation of Care" shows - which explore a wide spectrum of experimental music focused on tracks with an high sound design profile going from psychedelic electronics to jazz with a touch of punk and trip hop between.

This mix beautifully showcases the variety of his tastes and skills of mixing it all together, from dub to dubstep, techno to half time & masterfully jumping tempo’s - sleek fata’s got it covered.

I wanted to build a thematic journey that could bring together different types of music and tempos, while still feeling coherent as a whole. I found a strong inspiration in the icy textures of dub techno, it sparked the whole idea. So this is essentially a cold journey through the dub techno continuum (dub techno in the broad sense): half-time, dubstep, dub techno, footwork, downtempo… each track shares a similar colour palette, sonically speaking. Think light blue, white, and grey tones. I imagined a dancer trapped in a cold room with a perfect sound system, moving and reacting to these glacial sounds. But "glacial" doesn’t mean emotionless—on the contrary. Despite the chill, there's a lot of soul embedded in each track.

I grew up listening to rap while living in the suburbs of Lyon as a kid. Later, when I moved into the city centre for university, I discovered electronic music. So yes, my environment has always shaped my musical taste—just like it does for everyone, I believe. Our preferences are influenced by sociological data: age, ethnicity, the country we grow up in, our parents' professions, and so on.

But beyond that, my uncle, who I lived with when I was younger, had a big impact. During the peak of the Emule era, he downloaded every US rap album he could find and burned them onto blank CDs. When I came home from school, I would pick one at random and discover a new album every day. That routine really shaped my digging habit. These days, the Bandcamp community is a big influence for me.

I’m working on Vision Pro Dubs, a various artists project that started as a special episode of my Cremation of Care radio show. It brings together contemporary and cutting-edge smooth dub sounds. Besides that, Malesa is working on their second album, and we’re putting together a remix EP of Seta Loto’s last release. I’m also collaborating with Cortex of Light on something exciting!

Strasbourg’s 140bpm Alchemist Returns with a Deep Dive into Psychedelic Dub Realms.
For over a decade now, Strasbourg’s ADS1 has operated like a mythic figure in the French 140 bpm underground—part dubstep scholar, part bass sorcerer. Known for his meticulous sound design and an ear permanently tuned to the deepest corners of sound system culture, the DJ/producer has quietly built a reputation among connoisseurs of sub-heavy music. His new EP, a four-track release that feels as much like a short story collection as it does a club record, sees him both refining and subverting his own formula—drawing from hip-hop, Eastern instrumentation, and pure psychedelic experimentation.
