Telekinesis & Kinetik – Deja Vu / Lithium

Telekinesis & Kinetik – Deja Vu / Lithium

Released on Breed 12 Inches as BRD007, Deja Vu / Lithium is a heavyweight early-2010s drum & bass 12" bringing together two producers associated with the darker, more technical side of the genre. The A-side features “Deja Vu” from “Telekinesis”, while the flip delivers “Lithium”, a collaboration between “Telekinesis” and “Kinetik”. The release appears in contemporary drum & bass vinyl catalogues alongside other Breed 12 Inches and underground D&B releases of the period.

“Deja Vu” was already circulating in DJ mixes by 2010, including a June 2010 drum & bass promo mix that also featured the track alongside material from artists such as Spor, Noisia, Phace and The Qemists. “Lithium” likewise appeared in contemporary DJ tracklists, establishing both sides as part of the underground DJ-focused drum & bass circuit of the period.

The two tracks fit the dark, hard-edged sound of early-2010s technical drum & bass, with Telekinesis' production leaning towards heavy bass pressure, intricate programmed rhythms and aggressive electronic textures. Kinetik's involvement on “Lithium” places the B-side firmly within the same deeper, tech-focused scene, with the track subsequently appearing in mixes from DJs active around labels including Critical, Breed 12 Inches and Sinuous.

For collectors of underground drum & bass, techstep, neurofunk and early-2010s 12" vinyl, this is a concise two-track release from the Breed 12 Inches catalogue, pairing two producers whose work was circulating heavily through DJ sets and mixes during the period.
