Quest – In Session mix

Quest has always been there as one of the artists quietly in command of underground dubstep in the UK.

 

He started releasing 12″s in the vintage low-end year of 2006 and has been a key member of Mala’s Deep Medi imprint and the Antisocial Entertainment crew (alongside Silkie, Heny G, Kromestar and more) ever since.

 

He’s cemented his status as a cult figure thanks to a short but always excellent run of releases that trace the deep, rhythmic, soulful side of 140bpm music. ‘Deep Inside’, ‘Smooth Skin’, ‘Eden’; these tunes contain music for the mind as well as the feet, sunken excursions that become immersive and transportive when played on a fucking big soundsystem.

 

But production is only one side of it; Quest’s performances at dubstep mecca Outlook are the stuff of legend and when he goes back-to-back with longtime partner-in-crime Silkie, things go off. Like his music, his sets are full of soul, bounce and purple fizz.

 

Now the man marks 2013 with a new 12″, which contains the fierce rattle ‘n’ roll of ‘Visitors’ and the powerful skank of ‘Dubfoot’. Out on Deep Medi,.  Here’s a fine chance to hear the man in action.

 

‘Visitors’/’Dubfoot’ is out now via Deep Medi
