roots, reggae, dub
No lazy assumptions are to be made when describing the music of MDV. The qualities gracing this conscious London based reggae band has granted them the favour of always having kept their art relevant to modern times whilst still preserving an original sound. MDV's musical expression is a promise of love and light to those demanding refreshing change and for those who miss that feel-good rush when faced with the fortunate onslaught of good, real reggae music.
MDV's unique music is tight and powerful with the riding rootsy backdrops that support unusual and interesting arrangements, often coupled with a profoundly emotive lyrical bias. Their strengths also lie in creating beautiful, almost mystical atmospheric tunes, some very dark and provocative, others more upbeat yet equally contemplative. The feeling tones captured by the music can take you places whereby, one moment you can feel as if you are travelling through some Saharan desert storm next, you're in a smoky urban underground club, pulsing next to the speaker with the vibration of the dub bass line beating in place of your heart.
With universal human experience as a core thread running throughout their music- from moving songs about everyday life and honest messages of love, to the urgency of change in relation to the times we live in, MDV have never compromised on their natural musical flair being uppermost in importance to their style of delivering good tunes. It is uncommon these days to be able to claim an original identity but after hearing MDV one might probably agree that it's a right if earned by anyone, is earned by this band.
