For us, dubstep has always been more than music; it's creative freedom to express emotions and to connect with a global family. Paradox, Absurd, Doppelganger, and Zeitgeist are bilingual reflections of identity, contradiction, and culture - resonating across languages and borders. Thank you all for being part of our journey releasing on DEEP MEDi after 9 years collaborating!

The next FKOF Records release sees us welcome four artists back into the FKOF fold with our first VIP record in the imprint’s history. It’s great seeing artists remix other artists’ work and putting a new spin on it, but there’s something special about producers revisiting their own work to put an extra spicy flip on solo material. So that’s what we’ve done with FKOFv006...
OME from Berlin, Germany is one of the latest signings to Wheel & Deal with an awesome catalogue of music, rich in vibe, sound design, groove and weight. OME’s vibe has all the essence of the original Dubstep sound but with a fresh take and swagger. This EP is full of Bass & Space with a underbelly of Dread.
NADA EP has had continued support from N-TYPE, YOUNGSTA, MALA, CHEFAL, D FUSE, ROKLEM & SEBALO, TERNION SOUND + more.
The lead track ‘NADA’ is a tripped out, psychedelic stepper, full of creativity and sound design. The ‘clock ticking’ effect in the groove and the scattering percussion is infectious, making this stand out as something different in the Dubstep world. OME shows off his attention to detail and confidence in taking you on a journey from the into to the outro with an almost organic master piece.
‘NADA (PHOTOM REMIX)’ - If you thought OME’S masterpiece was creative then this pushes the boundaries of his sound even further. The PHOTOM remix is built for the dance floor with thick pulsating bassline and Dubbed beats and Dub Echoes. The percussion effects get even more crazy throughout the track and really pick up the pace in places. This is the perfect combo of Sound system and Sound design that keeps you listening to the end. As the Vocal samples says this is fire!
‘IN MY STYLE’ is a more minimal, dubbed out stepper with an ominous ‘dread’ vibe. The bassline is dark and gritty, built to rock a Dance floor or radio show. Once again OME shows off his attention to detail with a track rich in atmosphere, textures and edits. This is a staple in N-TYPE sets and recently featured on his DEEP, DARK & DANGEROUS guest mix.
‘TRIGGERED’ is a dance floor smasher! The juddering bassline and shuffling beats give this an infectious groove. Dark atmospheres and vocal stabs lace the track taking you deeper. This is another OME track that featured on N-TYPE’S DEEP DARK AND DANGEROUS mix.
‘BETWEEN THE LINES’ is a DIGITAL ONLY track finishing off the EP in fine style with swinging percussion groove and subbed out bass. This is reminiscent of a COKI style wobbler with a fresh approach and Dubbed out vibe. Watch out for more OME releases this year, he is on fire!
