Vital Elements (V2E)003
Insomnia / The Truth
Having been a rising star of the D&B scene for the last few years it seems Vital Elements is now on top of his game and crafting some of the biggest tunes to order for some of the biggest labels around. Grid have snapped up a pile of his recent works, while his collaborations under the Serial Killaz guise are receiving critical acclaim from all and sundry, being well and truly lodged in a permanent position at the front of DJ Hype..s box as well as anyone else lucky enough to have a dubplate!
V2E003 sees Graham releasing on his own, already impressive label.
A: Vital Elements & DJ Velocity - Insomnia
Originally signed to Liquid V for AI..s ..Big Picture.. compilation ..Insomnia.. has been retouched for the vinyl release but retains all of the features that made it so popular with the V camp. Strong beats, funky guitar licks and low, rumbling bass keep this melodic monster on a leash!
AA: Vital Elements - The Truth
Backing up ..Insomnia.. comes a slightly tougher number in the form of ..The Truth.., pounding bass and skippy breaks are the order of the day and this one has them by the bucket load! Vocal snippets drop in and out of the mix while percussive layers keep things rolling along nicely.
DJ support from: Bryan G, AI, Benny Page, Flight, Mosus and many more!

The King / Sounds Kinda Funky
In a recent ATM interview with the living legends Fabio & Grooverider, they were asked who has impressed them most over the last few years, among a select group of established producers Grooverider mentioned new comer Vital Elements. A big statement indeed, but with 12"s droping on Grid, Formation & Basement, A track on the V recordings "Big Picture" album you can see the truth in that statement.
Focusing on the goal of having his own label, Vital is having new logo designs done and has held back two summer smashers to give us the 2nd installment of his label (V2E).
In the boxes of Hype, SS, Nightbreed, Kenny Ken, Benny Page,and many others these are two well produced pieces of DnB.

Soundbwoy / Soundclash
Vital Elements (V2E), aka Graham Warnock has been producing Drum & Bass since 2001 and earlier this year the hard work paid off when DJ SS signed him to his pivotal Formation camp and his first effort for the label, Together, was released as part of the popular Power Play series. Since then things have almost spiralled out of control with a series of killer tunes doing the rounds on plate, a number of tracks signed to various labels and major radio play from some of the scenes most influential DJ..s.
Graham is also one half of mysterious new production outfit Serial Killaz, who..s remix of Rebel MC..s classic Junglist track is smashing up every dance it is getting played at and has received continuous radio play thanks to support from DJ..s such as Hype, Nicky Blackmarket, Mickey Finn, Darren J, Kenny Ken and L Double to name but a few
Due to Graham..s furious work rate it was decided that an extra outlet was needed to help release the back log of tracks that were piling up and so V2E Records was born.
This debut release for the label is the perfect introduction to the Vital Elements ethos; Dance floor aimed tunes topped with a phat, heavyweight production.
On the A side Soundbwoy mixes eerie orchestral strings, Ragga effects and thunderous breaks to create a bass heavy, club smasher that dips into some serious low end frequencies.
On the flip, Soundclash, mixes a conscious Dancehall vocal hook with rolling drums, rumbling sub bass and a deep dubby vibe all bound together with Graham..s sharp, trademark edits.
Both tracks have been receiving serious dubplate and radio support from some of the scene..s top players and marks the first of many quality productions due for release on V2E.
