Deep Medi at Open Ground

Breakfake is a DJ & producer based in Leeds, UK. His sound covers a wide spectrum, blending elements of roots with contemporary bass music. Coming from a live music background, his journey changed after experiencing UK sound system sessions, which deeply shaped his approach to music production and performance. He also incorporates live elements into his sets, and plays both DJ and live performances in the form of live dubbing involving MPC, synths and analog effects such as echoes, spring reverbs and filters, always keeping the foundation and message of sound system culture at heart.

Commodo is a producer and DJ from Sheffield, widely respected for his genre-busting approach to 140-BPM, Grime and rap beats. Emerging in the early 2010s, he quickly gained recognition through releases on influential labels like Black Acre and foundational entities like Deep Medi Musik, where his 2013 EP $pace Cash established his reputation for tasteful sound design, cinematic atmospheres, and impactful low-end. Blending elements of Grime, Dubstep and Hip-Hop, Commodo’s productions stand out for their intricate rhythms, analogue sound textures, and stripped-back but powerful arrangements. His work often pushes beyond traditional 140 bpm structures, drawing influence from obscure Soundtracks to Grunge & Shoegaze while maintaining the genre’s essential Widescreen production standard. As a DJ Commodo has built an equally enviable reputation, able to throw down a more functional dubstep set or incorporate more eclectic and contemporary influences with a keen ear for a blend.
