Pinch’s Tectonic label has arguably been one of the most fundamental “dubstep” labels out there. Always consistent and with the highest of quality control. Being home to such classics as 28g, Cyrus’ From The Shadow LP, Ironman and more recently the output of Dave Huisman’s 2562 alias (not to mention countless other works!).

The latest release on the label steps into a fresh direction and into new territory with a 7 track album by Brooklyn based producer/vocalist/live performer, Vanese Smith aka Pursuit Grooves. It’s a cohesive blend of soul, hip hop and funk (and im sure lots of other influences) – not what you would expect from Tectonic, and it certainly doesn’t sound like anything Tectonic have released in the past (bar maybe Flylo’s ‘Glendale Galleria’). That said it definitely stays aligned with Tectonic’s sonic aesthetic, which is essential.

The album is entitled ‘Fox Trot Mannerisms’, you can check out all 7 tracks below;

The album is available now in both CD and 12″ format, check out the record shop links on the right hand side —– >>

“Up and coming Bristolian producer Hyetal has been kind enough to record an exclusive mix for us. Having recently appeared on Mary Anne Hobbs’ Radio 1 show and with an ever increasing list of releases in the pipeline, it is certainly an exciting time for the producer. When listening to his music, the reason for the hype that is surrounding him becomes instantly apparent; his subtle, yet assured use of melody and harmony, along with his delicate use of percussion, creates a sonic fragility that is full of energy and emotion. The picture above was taken from his myspace page and, to me at least, serves as a very good visual representation of his music.

It looks as though Formant Recordings will be the first label to release some of his tracks, with FRMNT005: ‘The Last Time We Spoke’ / ‘Armour’, due in late March / early April. Other releases on Soul Motive and Reduction Records are set to follow, with the latter, ‘Pixel Rainbow Sequence’, being backed by a Peverelist remix. Promoters take note, now might be a good time to think about booking Mr Hyetal…
