DEEP MEDi are very happy to welcome Jack Sparrow to the label with his latest single ‘Afraid of Me’. Leeds based Ryan Wild aka Jack Sparrow has ben producing his own strain of Dubstep since 2006 and in that time has shown his versatility with releases on Contagious, Earwax and Tectonic ranging from dark tribal techno to heavy Soundsystem pressure. With residencies at Exodus/DMZ Leeds, Outlook festival, numerous shows and tours worldwide Jack Sparrow is becoming a highly in demand DJ and producer. Jack is also one half of production duo “Author” who released their debut album in November 2011.His first release on MEDi shows Jacks love of Techno and Soundsystem culture with the lead track ‘Afraid Of Me’. ‘Afraid Of Me’ intros with a heavy kick and twisted techno influences which drops straight into the pulsating sub bass which is tenacious throughout, only pausing for the beautifully dark breakdown where the track opens up and threatens to roll into a film score evocative of the ‘Watchmen’ from where the sinister vocal sample is taken. ‘This city’s free of me, I’ve seen it’s true face”. The flip ‘Good Old Days’ is a far more laidback, meditative and blissful vibe, Moody old skool jazz running’s with tripped out blissful sax, one for the hot summer nights!

After last year’s very popular and widely acclaimed album 'Severant', Kuedo returns with this emotionally epic, dancefloor detonator of a track originating from the same sessions. 'Work, Live & Sleep In Collapsing Space' starts with huge symphonic synths, half-speed kicks, trap style hi-hats rushes and flammed 808 snares, slowly building up with giant whooshes of gaseous noise before breaking out into an intense trancey Moroder-esque synth that totally fills the track, making it sound absolutely vast and a little bit frightening, running it through effects to give it an aggressive, spacey rush that takes your breath away. It’s the sort of track that connects Kuedo’s past to the newer music he made on 'Severant', with a fierce emotive grace and intense power. This will absolutely destroy dancefloors and headphones alike. First up on the remixes, Laurel Halo takes the track apart, adding sutured strings and bubbling sounds inside a pressurised dub space, before dropping a gorgeous, bittersweet melody into the space that’s left. It’s an appropriate re-imagining of the title, almost aching and groaning under its own pressure. Next, Claude Speed re-interprets the track as a beatless evocation of space, building graceful warm strings into a vision of symphonic beauty before the whole piece coalesces into building trancey bass synths over racing live drums, mirroring the original version but taking it in a totally different but equally breathtaking direction.

► BEN UFO ►Saturday 21st AprilWith able support from: Chaos in the CBD, Tommy Flowers, Mike E, Aroha, MTron & Adventuretime DJs.
- SICK DISCO - Every Saturday - 10pm - LATE! - Cassette Nine -
This April Sick Disco is proud to present the Co-founder of Hessle Audio & one of the worlds most respected and exciting DJ's –BEN UFO.
Alongside DJ Oneman, BEN UFO is considered the most consistently freshest and most exciting dubstep/bass music DJ in the world.
As one of the co-founders of Hessle Audio he has been responsible, alongside Ramadanman and Pangea, for some of the most varied and groundbreaking releases of recent years. Including but not limited to, early appearances by James Blake & Mount Kimbie.
Coming from the still emerging dubstep scenes in London & Leeds in 2005, his musical taste was shaped primarily by the DMZ & Sub Dub nights taking place in those cities. However as tastes have shifted and scenes fragmented, BEN UFO's approach to the music and Hessle Audio itself has developed. He was one of the first DJ's to break Joy Orbisons era-defining Hyph Mngo & has DJ'ed at most of the world's greatest club music festivals, including the Outlook Festival (Croatia), Sonar (Barcelona)and countless others.
He remains one of the few DJ's in the UK to have made an impact with a production career to fall back on, and as such his reputation is solely the result of his skill as a selector and as a mixer. He was the first DJ to play Joy Orbisons massive Hyph Mngo, only a year old but already considered a classic, and hisbi-weekly slot on London's leading ex-pirate radio statio, Rinse FMis considered by the wider scene as one of the only places to hear the most exclusive new music by both new and established producers.

Anyone with access to the internet probably already knows that a new EP by Burial appeared as a download release on the Hyperdub website a couple of days ago. A vinyl version is in production, but at the time of writing we are unable to confirm an exact release date while quality control checks are still being completed. Watch this space for more definite news, hopefully very soon. In the meantime, the pre-order hotlines are open. Featuring three new tracks pressed on high grade 180g vinyl for optimum sound reproduction, and running beyond 30 minutes, the ‘Kindred EP’ is an ambitious work that pushes further into the unique musical territory Burial occupies.
