It was 2005 when Vex’d released Degenerate, one of the first dubstep albums to get noticed in any major way. I’m not sure what they’ve been doing since apart from a couple of twelves on Planet Mu but this solo EP from Jamie Vex’d In System Travel is definitely worth your time.
It fits right into the Planet Mu canon, somewhere between Legion of Two’s distorted bombast, Boxcutter’s ambient dub and a plethora of other names – Milanese (check his new one The Lockout), Various and of course Vex’d themselves. Tunes heavy.
A mix he did for Luckyme with tracklisting is after the jump
