Emerging from the studio with perfect timing, Tectonic
deliver the debut album from Random Trio's Cyrus, one of the
scene's most dangerously underrated talents. Since last
year's Random Trio E.P, Cyrus has been working on his studio
tan, pefecting a true definition of dubstep with
professor-like precision under the watchful eye of local
Croydon peers Digital Mystikz and label head Pinch. In this
time his production skills have improved immeasurably,
resulting in the expertly studied rhythm and bass science of
'From The shadows'. From the kickstepping and hard skanking
pressure of opener 'Paradise dub' the gauntlet is laid down
to a scene of imitators and dilettantes, strutting onto the
floor like a tempered hybrid of Pinch's moody minimalism and
Mala style polyrhythmic kickdrum attacks, this is some
serious dancefloor material. Next we're dropped into
'Gutter', with deathprodding atmospheres and fathoms of
layered subbass demanding to be played loud, 'mind games'
pays debt to the rhythmic dub ingenuity of past greats such
as Keith Hudson or Scientist, updated with added subbass
technology for a 2007 effect. 'Dark future' is one of the
album's many standout moments, stepping hard with shuffling
whipcrack percussion and a strobing synthline direct from
Babylon for a slice of proper futurism, while title track
'From the Shadows' brings some relief with lush pads and
hollowed hardcore structures harking back to A Guy Called
Gerald's seminal Black Street Technology LP, high praise
indeed. This is a remarkably immaculate document of dubstep
for 2007 which fans of Burial's hallowed debut or Digital
Mystikz moodiest bass weight moments will cherish dearly.
