Artist:	PINCH
Title:	FabricLive.61
Label:	FABRIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	FABRIC 122CD

"In addition to his output on his own labels, including his 2007 debut artist album, which included vocal and instrumental versions. Pinch has released on a plethora of seminal electronic labels, including Planet Mu, Soul Jazz, and most recently Honest Jon's, who recently released his collaborative album with Fabric 55 artist Shackleton to critical acclaim. FABRICLIVE 61 includes a track from said album and a host of other collaborations with such names as Photek, Loefah and Quest, as well as a host of previously unheard forthcoming Tectonic releases. Ever an innovator, Pinch commences the mix half-way though a track, finishing at the same point in the same track, allowing the mix to be played on a continuous loop. Subtle sounds and vocals were layered throughout the mix in post-production, affording FABRICLIVE 61 a rare coherence and attention to detail that will reward listeners for years to come."

Title:	Dr Calson/136 Trek
Label:	PUNCH DRUNK (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	DRUNK 007EP

2008 release, repressed. "Punch Drunk is starting 2008 with a bang. Dubstep originator Pinch steps up with his debut on Bristol's homegrown dubstep label. This double A-side 12" is a future classic and undoubtedly one of the finest releases on the label to date. 'Dr Calson' features spooky paranoia ridden vocals and a twisted bassline, punctuated by Pinch's trademark percussion wonk factor.'136 Trek' is a minimalist hypnotic 4 x 4 Bristol sub bass excursion -- a real gem."

Title:	Underwater Dancehall
Label:	TECTONIC (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	TEC 003CD

This is the debut full-length release by Bristol's Pinch (Rob Ellis), head of the Tectonic imprint. The dubstep album: a concept still in its early days of existence. In a relatively new genre dominated by vinyl, many artists would not take the plunge into more ambitious territories and be lucky enough to have an outlet to support their endeavors: enter Pinch. Having already garnered a huge amount of success with CD releases in the past (namely the Tectonic Plates compilation and Cyrus artist album), the time was right for Ellis to turn the spotlight on himself for a full-length. But rather than simply string together a compilation of sold-out 12"s and re-edits, Pinch headed back into the studio, gathering vocalists around him and immersing himself in the idea of the album as a format, a concept, a complete vision. The results speak for themselves, setting the bar high and in the process taking dubstep to a whole new level -- leaving budding producers to simply tag along behind him. The first CD features vocal contributions by Juakali, Yolanda, Rudey Lee and Indi Kaur, while the second CD is devoted to instrumental tracks. For the limited edition double vinyl version, eight of the finest cuts are offered in a stripped-down instrumental form.

Title:	Midnight Oil/Joyride
Label:	TECTONIC (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TEC 024EP

Tectonic hails a welcome return from the label's dubmaster, Pinch. "Midnight Oil" is just sick -- its gorgeous, ethereal, pitched-up string loop giving way to a pummeling, syncopated kick drum. "Joyride" is a suspense-laden groove, its tuned percussion and plucky, reverberating sound stabs seem to constantly build and morph in and out of phase. Textured and laid-back, the Midnight Oil 12" is sure to sell out fast and will no doubt put those "in the know" on edge.
