V.I.V.E.K (DEEP MEDi) @ Dubspot: Dub Influences, Soundsystem Culture, and Dubstep

London-based DJ/producer and DEEP MEDi recording artist V.I.V.E.K visited Dubspot in New York City recently to talk about his past, his inspirations and his music. Demonstrating his sound design and production process in our live streaming workshop, V.I.V.E.K. discussed the importance of dub influences and bass culture on his own sound and dubstep as a whole.
