Unless you’ve had your head in the clouds over the last week or so your probably aware of Tectonic’s 2x CD compilation ‘Dark Matter: Multiverse 2004-2009′…

This double CD release offers a selection of highlights from the Multiverse studio’s recent
history. Leading the charge are both ‘Lion’ and ‘Pop Pop’ by Vex’d, records that
formed the first bridge between classic British industrial music and dubstep, a fusion
now championed by the likes of Surgeon, Distance and Milanese.

This appears alongside Joker and Ginz’s ‘Purple City’ the track that spearheaded the
emergence of the Purple Wow phenomenon. Also present is Pinch’s ‘Qawwali’ one of
the key tracks that broke dubstep to a global audience via Mary Anne Hobb’s
Dubstep Warz compilation. Pinch’s influence within Multiverse extends across the
compilation through his collaboration with P Dutty on ‘War Dub’, featured in the
movie Children of Men, and ‘Get Up’ with Massive Attack vocalist Yolanda Quartey
and Bristol legend Rob Smith (RSD). Equally the more avant-garde work of the
studio is represented through Moving Ninja, an artist who pioneered the blurring of
boundaries between dubstep and sound design, and emptyset, whose eponymous
debut album fused the streamlined European minimalism of Mika Vainio and Raster
Noton with Bristol’s unique bass heavy production style.

This ground breaking selection of tracks sit alongside contributions by
techno/dubstep pioneer 2562, half-step progenitor Loefah, Skream and Caravan
label boss October.

of Bristol imprints so your attention is definitely required.”
