Jamie Vex’d dons his Kuedo moniker for a delightfully wonky mix of bass music.
Even if you only have a passing interest in the more sub-heavy end of dance music, chances are you’ll have heard of Vex’d. Jamie Teasdale and Roly Porter’s fusion of dubstep with industrial and UK rave music on 2005’s Degenerate album paved the way for countless international and festival appearances. Tiring of the hectic schedule and life in London, the pair decided to move from the city in early ’07, with Roly heading west to Bristol and Jamie jetting to Berlin. Unfortunately, this meant that producing collaborative Vex’d material for their planned second album was a slow and difficult process, and they consequently decided to each focus on their own solo material. Jamie has been the more prolific of the two thus far, again aligning himself with Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu imprint for 12-inches both as Jamie Vex’d, and more recently under his new Kuedo moniker.
The recent material has seen Teasdale move away from the dark and industrial dubstep sound of Vex’d, instead taking inspiration from the new wave of off-kilter beatsmiths that have emerged in the post-Dilla era. His fantastically wonky take on Scuba’s “The Upside” was the first track to hint at his stylistic change, but the two solo EPs that followed have cemented his reputation as both a formidable and versatile producer, featuring nods to blissful electronic jazz, kaleidoscopic dubstep and even ambient music.(RA)
