Vital Techniques is a dubstep duo consisting of brothers Antix and Vecta, who have both gained high popularity within Leeds and the UK’s Drum n Bass scene.
Having both originally started their musical paths through ‘hip-hop’ and ‘grime' , they were introduced to the electrifying sound of Drum n Bass. Having attended various raves at the time, Antix decided that DJing and producing were both things he wanted to pursue so bought his first vinyl decks and production software and started the process of learning.
It wasn’t long before he had gained a reputation in the Leeds scene and got a show on local pirate station Radio Frequency FM. Vecta, the younger brother of the two, had also by this point started learning to DJ and produce, and at just 15 years old had also made it onto the pirate station. Vecta was also included in an ITV documentary about pirate radio and in particular Radio Frequency, and was interviewed about his young success in the local scene.
Both Antix and Vecta worked hard and made their way through the rankings and gained prime-time slots on Radio Frequency, which years down the line they still do to this day.
Then one day, they decided it was time to try something new so joined in the studios and produced their first few dubstep tracks together. Little did they know this would lead onto many others…Vital Techniques was born!
Since, things have been busy for the duo...constantly working on new material in the studio, as well as recently recording a 7 minute Mini Mix with 20 tracks squeezed into it, both their own productions as well as others that have been tearing up dance floors up and down the UK. You can find a link to this mix on their soundcloud at the end of this post
Feel free to check it out, download it, and spread the word!
The latest venture from the duo is the launch of their own Record Label, ‘Second To None Music’, dropping in October! The aim of the label is to release their own material as well as other artists who are representing the scene at this time. Expect to hear more about this from the duo very soon, and catch a track from their first release being played by Brown and Gammon (Circus Records) on their BBC Mini Mix.
The duo's first release, Dynamite, is currently out now on Public Records. Find a link to download this track from their artist page on the labels website at:
