Lawrence Bachell aka Vektah is a 25 year old electronic music producer & DJ, hailing from the South West of England. Pure energy is a staple to his sound and complements the catchy riffs, big booming subs and hard hitting drums that can be heard throughout his productions. February saw in his debut release titled ‘Fire In Your Eyes’ a squelching, yet smooth introduction to the newest chapter in his musical journey. The release received notable support from the likes of Levela, Charli Brix and the legend that is DJ Marky. He quickly followed it up with ‘Request’ released on the ‘Tonics: Batch 1’ VA EP that was released on Soulvent Records back in May. The tune opens with luscious, swirling synths which quickly descend into honks of incoming bass, jungle breaks and ragga vocals which will almost certainly have you shouting at your nearest DJ, demanding them to “run it”. His debut 4-track EP ‘Culture Shift’ was released in July 2021 and gained praise from the likes of Bladerunner, LTJ Bukem and Hybrid Minds. Since releasing this substantial body of work, Lawrence has reprised his appearance on the ‘Tonics’ EP series by showing off his jungle take on Manchester producer Motiv’s original track ‘Crave’. The Summer saw Vektah debut at the sound system celebration that is Outlook festival, along with becoming a resident DJ for Bournemouth-based d&b night Enter Drumfunk. As 2021 draws to a close, the future looks nothing but bright for this young musician, who has recently secured his own studio space. He’s also been collaborating with some heavyweight talents, including Bristol singer-songwriter Ruth Royall and even received airplay from House producer and radio DJ Eats Everything on BBC Radio 1! The talented producer also has further collaborations in the pipeline with affiliates of Hospital Records, Metalheadz, Shogun Audio and more.
