Musical discovery of the day - Dakimh

Another pleasant musical surprise happened to me today whilst listening to the recent Mary Anne Hobbs compilation 'Evangeline' on Planet Mu. There's some pretty cracking tracks on there from the big guns; Shackleton, Flying Lotus, Pinch, Surgeon etc. but the tune that really grabbed me whilst I typed an email or whatever was 'Done' by Dakimh. It's an oddity, definitely sitting in the soulful dubstep camp, but with a hooky synth/vocal humming interplay that hooks you in from the start. The oddness comes in the form of the extended vocal, which (dare I say it) has an almost RnB "flava" to it. My knee jerk reaction is of course to set fire to the offending tune and never let it darken my ears again. However, this tune pulls off such freaky moves and would be lost without. Instead what you end up with is a deep, meditative track with fullsome bass growls that'll have you rocking in your armchair like there's nothing faster than 75 bpm.

And the crazy thing in all of this? Dakimh is in fact none other than proper filth peddlers Vex'd moonlighting as sensitive types. The only tune they've done to date is this one for the compilation, but here's hoping there's more to follow. You can hear it in it's entirety at their MySpace:
