NO CABS WOULD GO TO BROOKLYN: An Interview with Reconstrvct’s Luke Nukem

SC  •  FB  •  TW  •  IG RECONSTRVCT 4TH BIRTHDAY x TECTONIC 10 YEAR PURCHASE: TICKETS Much like DMZ, SYSTEM and Contact, Reconstrvct or “Recon” as it’s called by us stateside heads, has been our mecca for the past couple years. The plan was to build again after Dub War, the first Dubstep in America, went kaput and the chainsaws and robots became viral and a paint by numbers formulae. Reconstrvct slowly built away, in the dark warehouses and other wide open spaces with high ceiling with room enough to accommodate us, with all the bodies swaying in unison and the Tsunami Sound System throbbing into the knife-edged dawn. People up and down the east coast flock to Brooklyn to come and meditate, to get lost and return again, to come as close as you can possibly get to experiencing this music we love so much in it’s most essential elements. It becomes a family gathering and for the slim five/six/seven hours, we all lose ourselves. Luke currently produces these Reconstrvct dances and has brought some of the most important names in the dubstep (and beyond) to grace us. I had to opportunity to meet Luke at the last Reconstrvct (w/ the notable including Acre, Lurka, OH91, Hodge, and T-Man on the mic). When I say opportunity, I mean “opportunity” in the strictest sense of the word, it was an opportunity and I missed it. My original idea was to link up in person and conduct the interview at the dance itself, but I got lost in the dance so to speak. I remember getting their around 10pm after taking the subway to Brooklyn and enjoying the quietness of the walk (in contrast to the city proper) to the address/venue which had been announced three hours before hand and immediately set off towards the center where the TBE bassbins were stacked higher than my head and Lurka was throwing down a fire vinyl set of future dancehall mindwreckers. I heard frequencies felt and soon it was 4am and my shirt was soaked and I barely remembered my questions. I remember thinking I need to hit up Luke immediately. Soon after my mind came down off the vibes I contacted Luke and sent over my questions I wanted to ask in person. Luke was more than understanding at my predicament and was kind enough to indulge me with musings, memories, and flashbacks running the gambit from Dostoevsky references, to the first time hearing VIVEK and what America was like when Dub War ran things.

Easy guys, got a little present here for you on this fine night in the form of a free 4 track EP. I've been working on this one over the last 6-7 months or so and it captures feelings I had at certain points along the way.

The name of the EP is "Alone", but don't automatically look at the word as being used negatively throughout the entire piece. You'll notice all of the tracks flow together so it's best listened to in order for full effect.

While the vibes of the release gradually change with each track it culminates with the following vocal on the final track:

"If you are at first lonely, be patient. If you've not been alone much, or if when you were, you weren't okay with it, then just wait. You'll find it's fine to be alone."

1. Restless Sleeper 2. Beautiful Lies 3. I Never Knew 4. Alone

Enjoy xoxo.

Easy guys. Just put out a free tune with Deepnezz Audio on Soundcloud. Here's what they had to say about it:

"Welcoming Sovereign to the Deepnezz Audio family with "The Blue". As the tides turn, minimal hi hats and a spacious atmosphere create a relaxed mood, drifting into the 41 mark we are swept by the waves and into The Blue. A huge sub takes control of the current and we are pulled into a storm of joyful hi hats. The twinkling pads take full control, creating a brilliant lightness. This is something for everybody's playlist."

Just uploaded my latest Senate of Sub mix, this one's got quite a few dubs in it!
