DJ Suv

The fourth person in Roni Size’s Reprazent collective has enjoyed a quiet rise in stature over time. His function within different period signatures, particularly noticeable within the Totally free Defeat EP for Total Routine, brought an abstract experience to his audio that had not been deliberately uncomfortable, but even more a response against a recognized militancy in drum’n’bass creation. Frequently melancholic, his music provides avoided the most common smashers well-liked by contemporaries Die and Krust and only more epic pieces of vinyl fabric where large swathes of atmospherics are depth-charged by melodic hits and bass lines that broaden to fill up whatever space the percussion enables them. While Desert Rose, his debut record as DJ Suv, received vital plaudits with various overseas influences dispersed amongst the anticipated Bristolian bass rumbles, the casual musical utterances of his use vocalist Virginia as Reeltime have grown to be perhaps one of the most anticipated side tasks since Breakbeat Period.
