I absolutely LOVE this tune. It’s somewhat different coming from Mark Pritchard, who goes by many recording names and monikers, and is primarily known for making the illest dubstep tunes. I’ve joked with friends that his neighbours must hate him as his basslines are killers; they can drive out any unwanted spirit. “Heavy As A Stone” is a 12″ released on Deep Medi Music, with two versions of the track–”Elephant Dub” which features Mark’s usual dark, reverberating basslines with futuristic synths and percussion arrangements that can cause a sound system to retire. On the flip-side is a beautiful yet sleepy vocal, spoken word alternative with kalimba type sounds and rich lyrics such as, “There’s a beautiful song that is heard…It begins with an African word…” The tune is like a revival, embracing yourself and who you are. I’m in love with it!

Check it out below. It’s available for purchase on Sounds of the Universe in 12″ format.
