Digital Mystikz: South London's finest purveyors of meditational bass weight. Pioneers of the dubstep scene, producers, DJs, label owners and promoters, they unleash a dense concentration of dubwise good vibrations.
Longtime friends from south London, Mala and Coki began with a shared love of jungle, dub, roots reggae, garage and house. Together they began forming their own distinct styles of music. Their breakthrough came when their first anthem, "Pathwayz" (Big Apple), got dropped at club Forward>>.Soon distinctive, fresh music like Mala's "Neverland" or "Anti War Dub", Coki's "Stuck" or "Shattered" began raining down on unsuspecting Londoners.
They soon started their own flagship label DMZ with partner Loefah. Now on its eleventh release, DMZ has become a figurehead imprint for the dubstep scene. A new 7" series will soon follow. Digital Mystikz also have two 12" on London's respected Soul Jazz imprint including the long awaited appearance of dance floor classic "Conference." The duo also featured alongside Loefah on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex, who licensed a batch of their dubplates for the second of their globally recognised "Grime" compilations.
To fully showcase their sound, they also (again with Loefah) began DMZ the night, held every two months at 3rd Base (St Matthews Church) in Brixton. Now 2 years old they have friends, fans and family flying in from all over the globe to attend, On their 1st Birthday they had to move to the bigger venue on the night to stop turning people away. They're home is Mass in Brixton.
This international affection has been returned, with demands to play their sound worldwide. Mala began to play the dmz sound exclusively in 2004 and continues to play shows in Holland, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic and USA. Mala has just got back from touring Japan, Australia and New Zealand. All this follows on from wide UK coverage, from DMZ dances, London shows at Fabric, Fwd>>, The End. UK and European festivals LoveBox, TDK, Quart and Bestival, Detonate in Nottingham, Bristol's Dubloaded events, Rephlex and Warp parties, supporting New Zealand's Fat Freddys Drop at Brixton Academy - London. They've dropped their productions numerous times live on air, Kiss 100 and BBC Radio 1 including opening the now pivotal Dubstep Warz on Mary Anne Hobbs' Breezeblock show. Their bass weight meditation is spreading far and wide.
