{"product_id":"v-i-v-e-k-illusions-dub","title":"V.I.V.E.K - Illusions Dub","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew names shine as brightly in the cosmology of dubwise bass music as that of V.I.V.E.K. From releasing absolutely ground-breaking tracks for the better part of 20 years primarily on his own System and VIVEK imprints, to curating and hosting his legendary System nights, to bringing so much rising talent to light, it’s honestly difficult to imagine the last two decades of UK and global sound system music without him. For ZamZam 96 V.I.V.E.K went straight to the bedrock of sound system music and delivered a power-stepper of galactic proportions. “Illusions Dub” opens with starkly heavy valve bass and a punishing kick, leaving little doubt where this journey is headed . Richly adorned with neck-snapping percussion, industrial snares, post-punk atmospherics and a gorgeous melodic figure, the tune employs classic 90s digi-dub principles while feeling like a message from a gloriously human -or post-human- future. “Illusions (Raw Dub)” runs rugged through the desk in fine style, with barely restrained feedback, phasers, and deep space echo and reverb ripping open shimmering holes in space-time for a truly cosmic Part 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A1893324558\u0026amp;color=%230429cd\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/zamzam-sounds\" title=\"ZamZam Sounds\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZamZam Sounds\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/zamzam-sounds\/vivek-illusions-dub-bw-illusions-raw-dub-zamzam-96-blend\" title='V.I.V.E.K \"Illusions Dub\" b\/w \"Illusions (Raw Dub)\" ZamZam 96 blend' style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: \u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;a href=;\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDISCOGS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blueprint Grooves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47678746362050,"sku":"ZAMZAM96","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/7518\/7138\/files\/vivek.webp?v=1779249535","url":"https:\/\/blueprintgrooves.com\/products\/v-i-v-e-k-illusions-dub","provider":"Blueprint Grooves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
