Vex'd

Dubstep pioneers Vex'd release their second album on Planet Mu on March 22nd. Cloud Seed is the follow-up to 2005's Degenerate LP that is now considered one of the key releases that opened up many IDM and techno heads to the possibilities of dubstep.

 

However, Jamie Vex'd and Roly P, aka Vex'd, no longer work together and Cloud Seed was never actually completed properly.

"We wrote most of these tracks between late 2006 and early 2007, as part of our second album," says Jamie. "Before we could finish the album however, we had moved away from each other, to different cities, in different countries. We wanted to keep writing together, but geography and work made it too hard.

"Eventually the moment for further work on the album passed and we moved on to other projects, in music and elsewhere, and left this album dormant."

In the middle of 2009, Planet Mu contacted them to say that they wanted to release this music, unfinished or not.

"By this point so much had changed we could not go back to the space we were in when writing these tracks," states Jamie. "So we didn't try, we let them be what they are. To change them would be to try to rewrite the moment we were in at that time.

"A lot of people have asked where we went after the first album. Many of them hadn't heard our singles and remixes that followed it. So, this is for everyone who wanted to know."

The new album includes unreleased originals as well as some select remixes for the likes of Plaid, John Richards, Gabriel Prokofiev and Distance.

Jamie Vex'd is currently recording under the alias Kuedo for Planet Mu.
